La Première (RTI) (French pronunciation: [la pʁəmjɛʁ]) is an Ivorian television channel. Originally known as Radio Télévision Ivoirienne (RTI) from 1963 to 1983, the channel began using its current name in 1983 following the launch of a second television channel. As of the time of its independence in 1960, the Ivory Coast only had one radio station. The passage of Law nº62-402 on 31 October 1962 led to the founding of RTI with the aim of creating a television service. It was first broadcast on 7 August 1963, established by the then President of the Republic Félix Houphouët-Boigny who wanted to make it an instrument of development. Broadcasting at the time of launch was done for 5 1/2 hours a week, paling to Volta Vision's 48 hours. At the time, RTI's missions were entrusted to a state concession protocol, as an actor in the development of national unity. The first day's programming started at 7:30pm and ended at 9pm. This included a national and international news bulletin. The footage for the news service was flown in from 12-ton containers and broadcast using Thomson-CSF equipment, who installed a 10 kW transmitter in Abobo and 200 meter high antenna.
