Georgian Public Broadcaster
The Georgian Public Broadcaster (Georgian: საქართველოს საზოგადოებრივი მაუწყებელი, Sakartvelos Sazogadoebrivi Mauc̣q̇ebeli) is the national public broadcaster of Georgia.
It started broadcasting radio in 1925, and Georgian television (TV) started broadcasting in 1956. Today, 85% of the Georgian population receive the First Channel, and 55% receive the Second Channel. Georgian TV programmes are also received by satellite and over the Internet in a number of European and Asian countries.
The adoption of Law on Broadcasting in 2004, started the process of transformation of Georgian TV from being a state broadcaster into a public broadcaster. It is required by law to “provide accurate and up-to-date information that is free from political and commercial bias” and “to address the needs and interests of the larger Georgian society through diversity of programs and viewpoints”. In 2005, the Georgian Parliament elected a Board of Governors, composed of nine members. One of them, Tamar Kintsurashvili, from Liberty Institute, was later elected as the first Director General of GPB. Tinatin Berdzenishvili is the current occupant of this position.
GPB's First Channel (Georgian: პირველი არხი, Ṗirveli Arxi), also known as simply 1TV, broadcasts both its own original programming and also foreign series and movies. As of August 2009, the First Channel programming schedule includes such shows as the following:
GPB's First Channel — Teleschool (პირველი არხი — ტელესკოლა, Ṗirveli Arxi — Ṭelesḳola), originally known as Second Channel or 2TV and later First Channel Education, was broadcast from 1991 and continued in its educational format from March 2020 until it was shut down at the end of 2023.
GPB's First Channel Sport, broadcasts since 21 May 2024.
Previously, GPB operated the Russian-speaking channel First Caucasus Channel (Russian: Первый Кавказский канал, Pervyj Kavkazskij kanal, or just Первый Кавказский, Pervyj Kavkazskij), which was broadcast between 2010 and 2012.
Georgian Public Broadcasting previously operated the now-closed international shortwave radio station Radio Georgia.
