BHRT (Radiotelevizija Bosne i Hercegovine / Радио-телевизија Босне и Херцеговине / Radio and Television of Bosnia and Herzegovina) is a state-level public broadcaster and active member of the EBU - European Broadcasting Union from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The history of electronic media in BiH goes back to April 10, 1945 when Radio Sarajevo aired its first program to the liberated country. The first TV show was broadcast in 1961 from the studio of TV Sarajevo. In that period RTSA was a full member of the JRT (Yugoslav Radio Television) system in the SFRJ. In October 1991 RTV Sarajevo was restructured into RTV BiH, as a public enterprise. Following the breakup of Yugoslavia, RTV BiH seizes to be member of the JRT system and on January 1, 1993 it was admitted as an independent active member of the EBU. Currently BHRT operates a public television channel (BHT 1) and a public radio service (BH Radio 1). It also has an online presence on the official website www.bhrt.ba. Together with the two regional broadcasting members, the Radio-Television of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Radio-Television of Republic of Srpska which operate on own channels and frequencies, BHRT forms the public broadcasting system of Bosnia and Herzegovina. As a public TV channel BHT 1 broadcasts 24 hours daily across the country (covering more than 97% of the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina) by terrestrial signal. It also broadcasts on the satellite network.
