BHRT (Bosnian-Herzegovinian Radio Television;Bosnian: Bosanskohercegovačka radio-televizija;Croatian: Bosanskohercegovačka radio-televizija;Serbian: Босанскохерцеговачка радио-телевизија) formerly known asPBSBiH (Public Broadcasting Service of Bosnia and Herzegovina;Bosnian: Javni servis Bosne i Hercegovine;Croatian: Javni servis Bosne i Hercegovine;Serbian: Jавни сервис Босне и Херцеговине), is an umbrella broadcasting organization and the only member of theEuropean Broadcasting Union fromBosnia and Herzegovina.
It was known asRTVBiH (Radio Television of Bosnia and Herzegovina; Bosnian:Radiotelevizija Bosne i Hercegovine /Радиотелевизија Босне и Херцеговине) from 1992 until 1998, when it was restructured into the current service.
On 1 January 1993, RTVBiH was admitted as an active member of theEuropean Broadcasting Union. The membership was transferred to the new parental broadcasting organisation PBSBiH in 2000.
PBSBiH changed its name toBHRT on 13 August 2004.[2]
RTVBiH (and consequently BHRT) grew out ofRTV Sarajevo in 1992, one of eight principal broadcasting centers of formerYugoslavia, others being RTVLjubljana, RTVZagreb,RTV Belgrade,RTV Novi Sad, RTVTitograd,RTV Pristina, and RTVSkopje.
In June 2016, BHRT announced it will be suspending broadcasting at the end of June, as a consequence of insufficient funding.[3] TheEuropean Broadcasting Union (EBU) expressed strong concern as this would have been the first time a public service broadcaster in Europe would have to interrupt its broadcasting because of financial difficulties.[4]
BHRT must broadcast content in the country's three official languages:Bosnian,Croatian andSerbian. The group manages a radio station, a television channel, media and music production label, and an internet portal. The service is governed by BHRT statute.
BHRT currently consists of three organizational units:
