[edit] History

Croatian Radiotelevision headquarters at Prisavlje, Zagreb

Croatian Radiotelevision is a direct successor of Zagreb Radiostation (Radio stanica Zagreb) that started broadcasting on 15 May 1926. During the first 14 years of its existence, Zagreb Radiostation was owned by a private corporation Radio Zagreb which was nationalized on 1 May 1940. During the Independent State of Croatia, the station was known as Hrvatski krugoval. After World War II it began to operate as a state owned Radio Station.

Zagreb Radiostation was the first public broadcasting facility in South East European area, including countries of former Yugoslavia.

At the end of the first year of operation, Radio Zagreb company had little over four thousand subscribers.

On the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Zagreb Radiostation, on 15 May 1956, the first television programme was broadcast from the transmitter built at Sljeme. For the next two years this was the only TV broadcasting service in the southeast European area. On 1 January 1993, HRT was admitted as a full active member of the European Broadcasting Union.

The Mediumwave transmitter at Zadar was at onetime one of the most powerful in Europe and at nighttime could be heard throughout most of the continent with JRT (Yugoslav) and later HR (Croatian) programming from Zagreb and Pula. However it was badly damaged during the fighting in the early 1990s, and has operated on somewhat reduced power since on 1134 kHz.
