Belteleradio Company

Belteleradio Company, officially known as the National State Television and Radio Company of the Republic of Belarus, is Belarus’s state-controlled broadcasting monopoly that operates seven television channels and five radio stations. Established in 1994, the company has been under international sanctions since 2022 for its role in supporting the Lukashenko regime through propaganda dissemination and repression of civil society. Following the disputed 2020 presidential elections, Belteleradio dismissed protesting media workers and replaced them with Russian personnel, effectively becoming an instrument of state control over information.
