PBSBiH

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

PBSBiH (Public Broadcasting Service of Bosnia and Herzegovina, locally known as Javni radiotelevizijski servis Bosne i Hercegovine) is an umbrella broadcasting organization and the only member of the European Broadcasting Union from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

It was known as RTVBiH (Radio-Televizija Bosne i Hercegovine) from 1992 until 1998, when it was restructured into the current service.

RTVBiH (and consequently PBSBiH) grew out of RTV Sarajevo in 1992, one of eight principal broadcasting centers of former Yugoslavia, others being RTV Ljubljana, RTV Zagreb, RTV Beograd, RTV Novi Sad, RTV Titograd, RTV Priština, and RTV Skopje.

Currently, it operates a national television channel (BHTV) and a radio service (BH Radio 1). It also has two broadcasting members which operate on own channels and frequencies: Radio-Television of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (RTVFBiH), broadcasting in Bosnian and Croatian and the Radio-Television of Republika Srpska (RTRS), broadcasting in Serbian.


Note: Despite its name, it is not connected to PBS in the United States.
