Teledifusão de Macau (TDM; Chinese: 澳門廣播電視股份有限公司) is the first over-the-air radio and television network in Macau. TDM was established on 1 January 1982 by João Leong Kam Chun () and Manuel Gonçalves during Portuguese administration, and began regular television transmissions on 13 May 1984, initially with a 5 hour schedule from 6 pm to 11 pm. In August 1988, 49.5% of TDM's shares were purchased by private companies and TDM was subsequently restructured as a public-private partnership. The Macanese public broadcasting system is largely modelled after the system used in Portugal, and TDM shares many traits with its Portuguese counterpart Rádio e Televisão de Portugal (RTP).

Rádio Macau began regular transmissions on 26 August 1933 operated by Portuguese amateur radio enthusiasts. The original service was taken off-air sometime in 1937 or 1938 and was reestablished by the Government of Macau in 1948. Currently Rádio Macau offers two channels, in Portuguese on FM 98.0 MHz (the original 1933 radio station) and Cantonese on FM 100.7 MHz (established in 1981). Rádio Macau officially became part of Teledifusão de Macau in 1983.

Local programmes on the Portuguese service of Rádio Macau begins from 07:00 to 20:00 on weekdays, and from 08:00 to 20:00 at weekends. Programmes from RDP Antena 1 are relayed for the rest of the time. The Cantonese and Mandarin service of Rádio Macau is also 24-hours, with total local programme outputs.

TDM also offers analogue and digital terrestrial television services: TDM Ou Mun in Cantonese and Mandarin, Canal Macau in Portuguese, TDM Desporto (for sports), TDM Informação (for news), TDM HD (for high-definition television) and TDM Macau Satéllite for international broadcast. It also carry three CCTV channels (CCTV-13, CCTV-News, and CCTV-9) along with Strait Television and Hunan TV World.
