PSM News, the nation’s public service media news channel, proudly celebrates eight dynamic years of delivering trusted news and information to the Maldivian people.
Born to Inform: A Legacy Rooted in Service
Launched on May 3, PSM News is the result of years of relentless effort by PSM's News and Current Affairs Department, committed to providing fresh, reliable, and timely news that resonates with the public.
The journey began long before that. In 1978, Television Maldives—the first-ever TV channel in the country—was launched, making history with its resourceful beginnings. Alongside it, a dedicated newsroom was established with a singular mission: to raise awareness and deliver vital information, even with limited tools and technology.
A New Era Begins: 24-Hour News Revolution
Fast forward to 2017, and PSM News emerged as a standalone 24-hour news powerhouse, transforming the news landscape with around-the-clock coverage. Today marks its 8th year as the nation’s go-to source for uninterrupted, real-time news.
From the start, PSM News set out to be a fast, responsive, and credible newsroom, always striving to be first with the facts. That goal remains stronger than ever.
On the Frontlines: Covering Crises Live
One of the channel’s biggest strengths is its live coverage of emergencies and natural disasters. When situation arise, PSM Journalists hit the ground —bringing viewers the latest updates, visuals from the scene, and essential background to understand the full story.
It’s not just reporting—it’s real-time storytelling in action.
