history
Radio Sarajevo (1945–1961)
Radio Sarajevo started on April 10, 1945 as the first radio program in Bosnia and Herzegovina with the words Ovdje Radio Sarajevo. Smrt fašizmu - sloboda narodu! ("This is Radio Sarajevo. Death to fascism - freedom for the people"), spoken by Đorđe Lukić Cigo, the first radio announcer and technician of Radio Sarajevo. Until the end of 1945, a six-hour program was broadcast, which was divided into three blocks, a morning, afternoon and evening program. From October 1, 1961, Radio Sarajevo's program broadcast from 5 a.m. to midnight.
Televizija Sarajevo (1961–1965)
On June 1, 1961, the first television program in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Televizija Sarajevo, started. In the absence of its own studio space, it initially broadcast from the Radio Sarajevo studios. Televizija Sarajevo only had three editors, Alija Nuhbegović, Jan Beran and Ismet Mehić. Programs produced by TV Beograd and TV Zagreb contributed most of the airtime. Danica Kurtović served as the first director of Televizija Sarajevo. The first live broadcast took place on July 27, 1961 on the 20th anniversary of the uprising in Serbia in 1941 .
Radiotelevizija Sarajevo (1965–1992)
In 1965, the public service company Radiotelevizija Sarajevo was founded, which was part of the Yugoslav radio system under the Jugoslovenska Radiotelevizija (JRT). This year around 73 hours of in-house productions were broadcast; the rest came from the other stations on the JRT. From March 17, 1969 Televizija Sarajevo broadcast for the first time from its own studios and no longer from those of Radio Sarajevo. The first issue of Televizija Sarajevo's daily newscast, TV Dnevnik, aired on February 25, 1971. In the same year a radio program called Sarajevo 202 focused on the capital Sarajevo was started. Radiotelevizija Sarajevo's third radio program, focused on culture and classical music, started in 1973.
In 1975 the construction of a new radio building began, which is now used as the headquarters of the successor BHRT. This was also taken as an opportunity to start the second television program TVSA 2. One of TVSA's major projects was to broadcast the 1984 Winter Olympics live in Sarajevo . As of 1985, the first television program had a terrestrial coverage of 79%, the second television program TVSA 2 covered an area of 57%. In 1989 TVSA 3 finally started.
RTV Bosne i Herzegovine (1992-2000)
After the breakup of Yugoslavia , Radiotelevizija Sarajevo was renamed RTV Bosne i Hercegovine (RTVBiH) in 1992. During the war it was possible to continue broadcasting, but the broadcaster was exposed to the destruction of many broadcasting systems and technical equipment, some of which employees took with them. Two programs established themselves, once the television program tvBiH (from 1995 BHT ) and Radio Bosne i Hercegovine. On January 1, 1993, RTVBiH became an active member of the European Broadcasting Union . This enabled Bosnia and Herzegovina to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest for the first time in 1993 .
PBSBiH (2000-2004)
In 2000 RTV Bosne i Hercegovine became Javni radiotelevizijski servis BiH - PBSBiH. On the advice of the OHR , the terrestrial networks of the television broadcaster BHT were split up on the night of 11-12 August 2004 with the aim of improving the coverage of the entity television broadcasters Televizija Republike Srpske and Federalna TV, and at the same time a new national frequency chain was created.
BHRT (since 2004)
On August 13, 2004, PBSBiH was renamed Bosanskohercegovačka radiotelevizija (BHRT) and at the same time the television station was completely restarted as BHT1 after test broadcasts the day before on the new national frequency chain. The radio station Radio Bosne i Hercegovine was also renamed BH Radio 1 at the same time. PBSBiH or Javni Servis Bosne i Hercegovine (German public service of Bosnia and Herzegovina) continues to serve as a generic term for the three public broadcasters in Bosnia and Herzegovina, BHRT, Radio-Televizija Republike Srpske and Radiotelevizije Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine.
Even today, BHT1's program does not broadcast 24 hours, at night (from around 1:30 a.m.) there is a break in broadcast . During the transmission break, the program is taken over by BH Radio 1.
For the soccer World Cup 2014 , BHRT launched an HD version of its BHT1 television program on June 12, 2014. It is offered by some cable and IPTV providers in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
