Riigikogu TV online - Television live

Riigikogu TV Live Stream

Riigikogu TV is the parliamentary television service of Estonia, carrying the work of the Riigikogu - the country's parliament - to screens at home and abroad. From the chamber in Toompea Castle in Tallinn it broadcasts plenary sittings, committee hearings and press conferences, and its live signal streams online.

Plenary Sittings and Votes

The service's core broadcast is the live plenary sitting of the Riigikogu, where Estonia's 101 members of parliament debate and vote on legislation. Question time brings ministers before the chamber to answer MPs' questions, and press conferences from the parliament's halls round out the political day.

Committee Hearings and Open Recordings

Public committee hearings scrutinising legislation and government policy complete the schedule. Recordings of sittings and other parliamentary events are published under an open licence - the Riigikogu distributes its material under Creative Commons terms - making the work of Estonia's legislature directly reusable by citizens and media.

Parliament on the Record

The service's output follows the parliamentary calendar rather than a fixed grid: when the Riigikogu sits, the channel is live; between sittings, the record stands in the archive. For Estonian democracy in action - from budget debates to committee scrutiny - the parliament's own cameras keep the full record within reach of any citizen.
