Television in Bosnia and Herzegovina was first introduced in 1956. First broadcasting in Bosnia and Herzegovina started in 1961 when Televizija Sarajevo began its programme although without its own TV studio at that time (it used Radio Sarajevo's premises for this purpose).

Today there are 145 licensed TV broadcasters[1] in Bosnia and Herzegovina (24 Public and 121 Private).[2] The process of digitization is still going on[3] in Bosnia and it is expected to leave the analog frequency bands. Planned is public TV corporation[4] which will operate, consolidate and improve quality of all Bosnian public broadcasters.

Terrestrial broadcasters

Bosnia and Herzegovina has 3 public broadcasters financed from radio and television fees (RTV pretplata/pristojba). The amount of television fees in BiH is 7.5 BAM per month (collected along with the bill for landline telephony service).[5]

National public broadcaster for Bosnia and Herzegovina is BHRT - Radio televizija Bosne i Hercegovine. With 1 television and one radio channel it covers more than 97% of the country. BHRT is only Bosnian EBU member.[6]

The entity broadcaster for Federation of BiH is RTVFBiH - Radio televizija Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine. The program is broadcast on 1 radio and 1 television channel. The entity broadcaster for Republika Srpska entity is RTRS - Radio televizija Republike Srpske. The program is broadcast via 1 radio and 2 television channels (1 channel is via cable systems).[7]

There are 21 other public TV stations which broadcast only locally - at the municipal, local and regional level, such as 5 cantonal TV stations (TVSA, RTV TK, RTV USK, RTV ZE, RTV BPK).

Private TV stations with a nationwide coverage are OBN and Pink BH.

Out of 30 private TV stations majority is again only locally available, either on municipal level (e.g. TV KISS from Kiseljak or TV Maglaj from Maglaj) or on a near national level (e.g. Hayat - in the FBiH entity or Alternativna TV in the Republika Srpska entity). These broadcasters are primarily focused on the entitiy markets, but they also broadcast and a joint program known as "Program Plus" on the 85% territory of the Bosnia and Herzegovina.[8]

Several local and regional private TV stations broadcast a joint program known as "Mreža TV". These broadcasters provide a common advertising space (level of BiH, entity or region) that would be more attractive to major advertisers. Local TV networks share local news (eg. PRIMA network in the RS entity).
