Written by Editors on .

The Kyrgyz National Broadcasting Corporation (Улуттук Телерадиоберүү Корпорациясы), known by its Kyrgyz-language acronym UTRK and formerly branded as KTRK, is Kyrgyzstan’s state broadcasting corporation, based in Bishkek. According to UTRK’s own account, its history traces to December 8, 1958, when Kyrgyzstan’s first television broadcast aired, an event now marked annually as the country’s professional Radio and Television Workers’ Day; the organization’s radio operations date back further, to 1931. The corporation operates Kyrgyzstan’s main television channels, including the National First Channel, Ala-Too 24 news channel, and several radio stations, along with the Republican Radio-Television Center and the Kyrgyztelefilm studio. In 2022, Kyrgyzstan’s parliament converted the broadcaster from “public” to “national” status, abolishing its independent oversight board and giving the president the power to appoint and dismiss its general director directly. UTRK has served as a domestic broadcast partner for Chinese state-linked media content in Kyrgyzstan, including a joint programming section with privately owned cable operator Dolon TV that carries “China TV Theater,” a strand created by China’s National Radio and Television Administration to place PRC state-produced programming abroad.

Xinhua deputy president Yuan Bingzhong (袁炳忠) and Henan propaganda chief Wang Zhanying (王戰營) attended the launch ceremony, according to NPPA. The center has claimed that in its first year of operation it generated over 600 million views across more than 100 countries and regions, with content built around themes including Shaolin kung fu and the Yellow River shared by then-Chinese ambassador to the US Qin Gang (秦剛) and a former UN deputy secretary-general, a figure relayed without independent verification by both Henan Daily and the Hong Kong-based Economic Reporter (經濟導報).
