The current company dates from 2007, with the merger of two previously separate companies Radiodifusão Portuguesa (RDP; the radio broadcaster) and Radiotelevisão Portuguesa (television broadcaster), although they had been grouped under a single holding company and common branding since 2004.
RTP is funded by the taxa de contribuição audiovisual (transl. broadcasting contribution tax), which is incorporated in electricity bills, and television advertising revenues.
