Al-Jamahiriya TV was a Libyan television channel broadcast by the Libyan Jamahiriya Broadcasting Corporation. The channel broadcast mainly Libyan Al-Jamahiriya discussions, cultural programs and news bulletins. It was available in three languages: Arabic, English and French.

Emphasis was left to the official Libyan political and government activities, with live coverage of sessions of the People's Congress, speeches of the "Guide of the Revolution" (the official position held by Colonel Gaddafi) and readings of The Green Book, written by the Libyan leader, and published in 1975.

The channel started in the morning and ended in the evening by reading verses of the Quran followed by the national anthem, before giving way to a focus and national radio.

Construction work for the stations in Tripoli and Benghazi started in 1967 and was completed by year-end 1968. On 24 December 1968, regular television broadcasts began with coverage of the Independence Day parade. In this early period, TV broadcasts began at 8pm and ended at 10:45pm.{{cite book |title=Area Handbook for Libya |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eIxSDx93GwsC |access-date=27 August 2024 |date=1969 | publisher=U.S. Government Printing Office }}

The Libyan national television was broadcast via satellite to the Arab world and Europe via the satellites Arabsat and Hot Bird from 1997.

On 22 August 2011, the station was taken off-air by the National Transitional Council forces, which had entered Tripoli the previous day.{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2011/aug/22/blank-pictures-libya-state-tv|title=Blank pictures from Libyan state TV augurs moment of change|last=Halliday|first=Joshua|date=22 August 2011|publisher=Guardian|access-date=22 August 2011}}

The channel was relaunched in 2012 by the Libyan diaspora from a studio in Cairo, Egypt, but broadcasts were sporadic. Regular broadcasts resumed after Russian oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin purchased new technical equipments for the TV studio and paid off debts to satellite providers and staff.{{Cite news |last=Vaux |first=Michael Weiss,Pierre |date=2019-09-12 |title=Russia's Wagner Mercenaries Have Moved Into Libya.
