The project was created to strengthen Algeria's institutional structure, as well asassuring right to information, bringing citizens closer to their legislative institution and strenghten trust between voters and the elected.[2]
TV9 started broadcasting on 26 May 2022, during a ceremony attended by Salah Goudjil, Ibrahim Boughali and Aïmene Benabderrahmane.[3] Although ENTV is responsible for the channel, both chambers supply equipment and programming. Its facilities were inherited from the former Dzaïr TV, which was owned by Ali Haddad.[1]
