Capitol TV is the main television network within the Capitol. It was used for promotional purposes in regards to the film The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1, where President Snow addressed the nation of Panem. The TV network was also known for broadcasting the Hunger Games.

As it was created by Lionsgate, Capitol TV was not mentioned in the original The Hunger Games trilogy as an official network. However, it did appear in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, alongside another organization called Capitol News.

Lucretius "Lucky" Flickerman worked as a weather reporter for Capitol TV and was later tapped to host the 10th Hunger Games.[1] Capitol TV also covered the funeral of Arachne Crane,[2] as well as the bombing of the Capitol Arena.[3]

Trivia[]

  • Despite being created by a Capitol-run network, every District Voices video contains hidden anti-Capitol messages or includes within them information which can be used against the Capitol.
    • District 2's video includes a list of techniques Peacekeepers use in close-combat, ostensibly to allow rebels in the Districts without weapons to counter their moves and take them down in physical combat (which would likely have assisted the rebels in the dam bombing shown in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1)
    • District 5's video highlights a major power producing location for the rebels to take down.
    • District 6's video lists all the statistics of the SJ-7 Peacekeeper Assault Vehicle, including the strength of explosives required to destroy them as well as inform rebels of a method by which not to attack the vehicles by (which would later be put into effect as shown in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2)
    • The scissors gesture at the end of the District 8 video, when paused at the right time, appears as a hidden three-finger salute.
    • The flour on the baking sheet in the District 9 video is spread in the shape of a mockingjay pin before the preparation of the tarts.
