Grasslandic Television Network

Grasslandic Television Network often shortened down to GTN is the national broadcaster of Grassland headquartered at Keyser Road in Grassland City. It was founded as a radio-only network in 1943 and expanded to television in 1949.

History
Its origins can be traced back to R10, one of the first radio stations in Grassland. R10 was created in 1925, as the first radio station created for entertainment in Grassland. It was renamed R.N.G (Radio Netviirk Gwjereln) in 1934. In November, 1941, Gregory Williams personally ordered it to be shut down. From November 1941 to 1943, only pirate radio stations broadcasted, and these were shut down often. On 25 May 1943, Grasslandic Radio Network (Gwjerelne Radionetviirk) was created to replace RNG. It was officially only for the upkeep of the transmitters (mothballing) for a later purpose, but it de facto was a radio organisation too. It first aired from two transmitters in Geird and Grassland City, but by 1944, it had soon spread to the whole east coast of Grassland. It shut down in August 1944, but restarted on the 1st of February 1945, but this would not last long, as it was shut down by the allied occupation on the 27th of the same month. Grassland remained without a radio service for just under a year, until the 9th of February 1946, when it was reinstated. This was also when Grassland's first proper television network was created, also called Gwjerelne Radionetviirk. On the 9th of February, 1949, the television and radio services split. This was when GTN was created, as Gwjerelne Televissione Netviirk lc. By this point, both radio and television had spread to much of the west side of the country. East and West Grassland split in October 1949 and the Geird transmitter was shut down and transferred to the new East Grasslandic television service, Televissione Netviirk Gwjereln. In November, the name of the compamy was changed to Gwjerelne Televission Netviirk h.m.c. In 1972, the Grasslandic Radio Network merged with GTN. In that same year, GTN renamed its television channel to GTN 1 and created a new channel, GTN 2. After Grasslandic Unification, TNG merged with GTN, but TNG remained a seperate channel until 1990, when it was renamed to GTN 2. The previous GTN 2 was renamed to GTN 3.
