Radiotelevision of Bosnia-Herzegovina (BHRT, locally known as Radiotelevizija 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. On January 1, 1993, RTVBiH was admitted as an active member of the European Broadcasting Union. The membership was transferred to the new parental broadcasting organisation PBSBiH in 2000.

RTVBiH (and consequently BHRT) 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.

BHRT currently consists of three public broadcasting organisations:

  1. BHRT (Radio-Televizija Bosne i Hercegovine) a national public broadcasting corporation which has been formed to operate the national television channel (BHT1) and the national radio service (BH Radio 1).
  2. RTVFBiH (Radio-Televizija Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine) which operates on own channels and frequencies in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and broadcasting in Bosnian and Croatian.
  3. RTRS (Radio-Televizija Srpska) which operates on own channels and frequencies in the Republika Srpska, broadcasting in Serbian.
