Lithuanian National Radio and Television
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lithuanian National Radio and Television (Lithuanian: Lietuvos Nacionalinis Radijas ir Televizija; LRT ) is the national public broadcasting company of Lithuania. The company operates the two national public television channels and three national public radio stations. It has provided regular radio service since 1926 and television broadcasting since 1957. The company is based in the capital of Vilnius. Lithuanian Radio and Television currently employs about 650 people. LRT was admitted as a full active member of the European Broadcasting Union on 1 January, 1993.
The Lithuanian Radio and Television Council oversees the operations of LRT according to the Law on the Provision of Information to the Public and the Lithuanian Radio and Television Law. Although, LRT receives about 75 percent of its funding from the Lithuanian government, the company does show television commercials. A television licence fee or tax that every television purchaser would have to pay is proposed as the future source of income for LRT.
