Radio Television of Serbia
Radio Television of Serbia , headquartered at Takovska 10 in Belgrade, is Serbia’s state-owned public broadcaster. The organization traces its origins to Radio Belgrade-Rakovica, which began broadcasting on October 1, 1924, followed by Radio Belgrade’s regular programming launch on March 24, 1929. Radio Television Belgrade (RTB) was established on February 13, 1958, following the Executive Council of the Socialist Republic of Serbia’s decision, with television broadcasting commencing on August 23, 1958. The current institution emerged in 1992 when RTB merged with regional networks Radio-Television Novi Sad and Radio-Television Priština to form the national Radio Television Serbia. RTS comprises four organizational units: radio, television, music production, and record label (PGP-RTS). The broadcaster is financed through monthly subscription fees (46% of revenues), state subsidies (28%), and advertising revenue (22%), and is a member of the European Broadcasting Union.
