History

It started broadcasting on 1 June 1961 relaying programmes produced in Zagreb and Belgrade, then it produced its own news magazine from 17 March 1969, [3] followed by the inaugural Dnevnik on 25 February 1971. [4] It migrated to the Television House in 1975.

After attempting to survive in the 1990s when the country was living through a war, BHTV1 resumed in 2002 following the passage of the PBSBiH Act. [5] It did not receive its own frequency again until August 2004, up until then, it had its airtime given to FTV and RTRS. [3]

The channel achieved record high viewing figures during the 2022 FIFA World Cup. [6]

Normal programming (except news) was suspended on 26 February 2026, being replaced by a message telling viewers that there is a possibility that BHRT will shut down. [7]
