As such, the No 2 TV broadcasting unit (Nay Pyi Taw) was established on 19 June 2009 and commissioned into service on 26 March 2012. Myawady TV has been bridging the gap between the Tatmadaw and the people today since its establishment.
From the 75th Anniversary of Armed Forces Day, Myawady TV has been transformed into a high-definition (HD) system to improve the work processes.
Myawady TV broadcast the images of the 27th SEA Games and 23rd ASEAN Armies Rifle Meet hosted by Myanmar and the conveyance and building of the Maravijaya Buddha Image as historical performances.

All audiences of Myawady Media Group, dailies, TV and radio stations can watch news and information on nation-building endeavours and interests for nationalities and religions as well as peace talks with a genuine nationalistic spirit.
Some media do not follow media ethics and present information with bias and unfairness. They attempt to tarnish images of the Tatmadaw and its efforts for proper public relations. All State-owned media and Tatmadaw media need to rebut the accusations while organizing the strength of righteous local and external media.
Tatmadaw has been focusing on the interests of the State and the people throughout its history without urging anyone into nation-building endeavours. Everybody can see that Myawady TV, a part of the Tatmadaw, has dutifully served its assignment as the fourth estate in successive eras. Hence, the Senior General expressed his firm belief that Myawady TV will constantly preserve its fine traditions and history.
The Senior General stressed that Myawady TV, Myawady Literature House, Myawady Daily and Yadanabon Daily as well as Thazin Radio Station serving media duties of the Tatmadaw have to present exact and news and follow media ethics. They have to initiate the developing media process. Myawady TV has to inform, educate, perform and organize the audiences by bridging the divide between the Tatmadaw and the people and try to become a reliable media of the State and the people.
