Belteleradio
The National State TV and Radio Company of the Republic of Belarus or simply Belteleradio, is a state-owned television and radio broadcasting service in Belarus.
From 1993 until 2021, it was a full active member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) under the name Belarusian Television and Radio Company (BTRC). In May 2021, the EBU Executive Board agreed to suspend BTRC as a member of the broadcasting union effective 11 June 2021. The broadcaster later іndіcated that the suspension would expire in 2024, but this was later denied by the EBU a couple months prior to when the suspension hypothetically would have been lifted as they publicly addressed that it had "no reason" to reinstate BTRC's membership "at the current time". This means that BTRC's membership is indefinitely suspended, and as a result cannot rejoin the organisation. Until the suspension is lifted or another Belarusian member joins in its place, there are presently no members of the EBU who are from Belarus.
The first service of Belarusian radio went on air on 15 November 1925, at the RB-10 radio station named after the Council of People's Commissars of the BSSR. The programs were broadcast for 30 minutes a day within a radius of up to 300 km. Starting in 1926, broadcasts of radio newscasts for workers and peasants started, followed by broadcasts from theaters and clubs and music programs. From 1928, wire broadcasting developed, a weekly broadcasting schedule was formed, taking into account the professional and age characteristics of the target audience. The 1920s also saw the development of regional and district broadcasting. 70-80% of all broadcasting was in Belarusian.
In 1933, the Committee for Radio Information and Radio Broadcasting of the Council of People's Commissars of the Belarusian SSR was established. Technical advancements, including the construction of a powerful radio station in Kolodischi, enabled live broadcasting. Sound recording devices were first utilized by Belarusian radio in 1936. By 1938, broadcasting commenced from the new Radio House, which featured three new studios and a workshop for mechanical broadcasting and sound recording.
Following German invasion of the Soviet Union, the RV-10 radio station temporarily suspended its operations. On 1 January 1942, the "Soviet Belarus" radio station began broadcasting on short waves from Moscow. Simultaneously, the German occupation administration launched the "Landessender Minsk" radio station. Initially under the control of the Reich Broadcasting Corporation, it was subordinated to the Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda in 1944. This station broadcast in German and Belarusian, with news sometimes also delivered in Russian. The RV-10 radio station resumed broadcasting in 1944, first from liberated Gomel, and subsequently from Minsk.
In 1953, the Radio Committee of the Belarusian SSR was reorganized into the Main Directorate of Radio Information of the Ministry of Culture of the Belarusian SSR. The 1950s saw the beginning of intensive efforts to improve the quality of radio broadcasting. New equipment was installed in the House of Radio, enhancing the quality of recorded broadcasts.
Work on the television station was underway in 1955, with the Minsk telecenter being commissioned that same year. On 1 January 1956, the Radio Directorate of the BSSR launched its television service, "Belarusian Television" (BT). The inaugural broadcast lasted two hours and was watched by 4,500 viewers. The initial TV schedule primarily featured feature films, newsreels, concerts, and performances, sourced from Moscow and local movie distribution centers. Information programs were often supplemented with film and photographic materials. By the late 1950s, the Directorate had begun live broadcasts and the production of documentaries and television plays. By the end of that decade, Belarus had 30,000 television sets.
In 1957, the Radio Control of the Belarusian SSR was reorganized into the State Committee of the Belarusian SSR on Television and Radio Broadcasting (Gosteleradio). In the 1960s, 70% of the territory of Belarus was provided with television. A two-program TV was formed (based on the programs of the 1st program of the Moscow Central Television). In 1960, complete radio coverage of Belarus was completed, new radio stations appeared: "Belarus" (1962), which provided regular broadcasting to foreign countries, "Belarusian Youth" (1963), "Rural Life" (1964). In 1968, The department of theory and practice of radio broadcasting and television was opened at the Faculty of Journalism of the Belarusian State University with the aim of training qualified personnel. The volume of its own broadcasting was 880 hours a year, with a third of that dedicated to political education. In the mid-1960s, its own production of feature and documentary television films began (on the basis of the main editorial office of Telefilm). In 1962, with the starting of Intervision, an exchange of programs with other republics began. In 1961, the Minsk Television Studio and the Committee for Radio and Television were merged into one creative team, in March 1964 it was renamed into the Studio of the Belarusian Television.
