Rhwddyr National Broadcasting

Rhwddyr National Broadcasting (Rhwddyraith: Ecínuŵas Cwrutyrh Rhwddyr ipa: ɛkɪnu:wɑs ku:ɾu:tə ʋu:ðəɾ) is the national broadcaster of the Republic of Rhwddyr. Headquartered at the Radio Tower in Durton, Rhwddyr. Established by a Public Service Broadcasting Charter, it is regulated by the National Broadcasting Council (NBC), and recieves its money through a Licence Fee paied by every person who recieves its television service. Around a fifth of its revenue comes from international sale of programming, and advertisting on international news broadcasts outside of Rhwddyr.

Television
ECR operates several television channels within Rhwddyr. Its flagship channel, ECR One, contains most regional programming, as well as big shows, and the main news bulletins, as a mixed-genre television service. It was the first channel to start broadcasting in widescreen, which began in 2003, and HD, which began in 2008. By 2013, analogue broadcasting had ended, and all output across the whole netword was in 16:9 HD.

ECR Two covers a wide range of subject matter, focusing on more in-depth programmes than the more wide-market appeal, populist ECR One. Arts, Culture and Comedy feature more heavily than on ECR One.

ECR News Channel provides 24hr rolling news coverage. It is broadcast internationally, being relayed by the NBC's Mwycôs satalite network (along with ECR One) with translations into the world's major languages.

ECR Armed Forces Broadcasting is a channel produced on contract with Rhwddyr's ministry of defence, to provide a television service to members of the Rhwddyr Millitary serving overseas.

National Alert System
The National Alert System is a National Civil Defence Broadcasting System that runs on ECR One that can send Emergancy Notices at the request of the Rhwrhêí Government. When an alert is broadcast, all TV Channels automatically switch over to broadcasting ECR One in order to make sure as many people see the alert as possible.

It is used to notify people about Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Tornadoes, Severe Storms and other Severe Weather Events, so that action can be taken immedietly.
