Radio and Television of Slovakia (Slovak: Rozhlas a televízia Slovenska [ˈrɔzɦlas a ˈteleʋiːzɪɐ ˈslɔʋenska]), or RTVS, was a nationwide public broadcasting, state-funded organisation in Slovakia.

The organisation was created in 2011 following a merger of Slovenská televízia (Slovak Television) with Slovenský rozhlas (Slovak Radio).[1] It was headquartered in Bratislava.[2][3]

Like its two predecessor organisations - Slovenská televízia (STV) and Slovenský rozhlas (SRo), RTVS was a member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

Radio and Television of Slovakia (RTVS) transformed into Slovak Television and Radio (STVR) on 1 July 2024.
