Sukan+ (, pronounced as Sukan Plus, formerly known as RTM HD, RTM HD Sports, RTM Sports, and Sukan RTM, stylised as SUKAN+) is a Malaysian sports channel owned and operated by Radio Televisyen Malaysia which airs local and international sports programming, with some of its programs produced and licensed by its sports division.
History In 2002, RTM announced that it would launch a specialty channel dedicated to sports and recreation, which would later become Sukan RTM.
The service was initially run as a trial from 2008, when it started during the Beijing Olympic Games and ended after the Summer Olympics finished. 10 years later, on 13 June 2018, RTM HD was officially launched as a trial broadcast exclusively on MYTV Broadcasting on channel 111. On 13 July 2018, RTM HD changed its name to RTM HD Sports as a free-to-air all-sports channel still in tests. On 1 April 2021, RTM Sports was officially rebranded and launched with the name 'Sukan RTM' during the 75th anniversary of RTM along with 60th anniversary of RTM Orchestra. Its corporate slogan, Sukan Untuk Semua (Sports For All), was introduced.
To coincide with RTM's 80th anniversary, Sukan RTM is rebranded as Sukan+.
