Radio Television of Vojvodina [a] (RTV) is the regional public broadcaster in the Serbian province of Vojvodina, headquartered in Novi Sad. Alongside statewide Radio Television of Serbia, RTV serves as the second major public broadcaster in the country. The radio service began in 1949, and the television service launched in 1975. RTV broadcasts in multiple languages, including Serbian, Hungarian, Slovak, Romanian, and Rusyn, later adding Romani and Ukrainian.
RTV was initially known as Radio Novi Sad, established by the Assembly of Vojvodina's Chief Executive Committee (Government of Vojvodina). During the 1990s, RTV became part of the centralized Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) but maintained its multilingual programming. In 1999, NATO bombed the RTNS studios, leading to their relocation. The 2002 Broadcasting Act established RTV as a distinct public broadcaster, and in 2006, it was legally separated from RTS. Alongside primary area of Vojvodina, TV station is available in Belgrade, northern part of Central Serbia as well as in borderland areas of neighbouring countries. It is available in cable TV for all areas in Serbia.
Contemporary Radio Television of Vojvodina began as Radio Novi Sad in 1949 following a decision by the Assembly of Vojvodina's Chief Executive Committee (Government of Vojvodina). [3] The radio station broadcast its programs in five languages: Serbo-Croatian, Hungarian, Slovak, Romanian, and Rusyn. [3] With its multilingual program which included modern music and broadcasting mostly free of ideological concerns, the station earned reputation beyond Vojvodina and Yugoslavia in wider Cold War Eastern Europe. [3]
The original logo of Radio Television Novi Sad featured five rainbow colours, symbolizing the diverse ethnic and linguistic heritage of Vojvodina. [3] In 1971, the workers’ community council decided to establish Television of Novi Sad as an independent entity. [3] The Assembly of Autonomous Province of Vojvodina decided in 1972 to merge the radio with the new television as the Radio and Television of Novi Sad. [3] Television broadcasts began on November 26, 1975. [3] The initial broadcast was a special program, followed by news and political newscasts in Serbo-Croatian and Hungarian the next day. [3] Initially, the TV station broadcast program in Slovak, Romanian, and Rusyn, later adding Romani and Ukrainian. [3] The company was a part of the Yugoslav Radio Television, the national public broadcasting system in the SFR Yugoslavia.
In 1992 Radio Television Novi Sad, together with Radio Television Belgrade (RTB) and Radio Television Pristina (RTP), became a part of Radio Television of Serbia, with RTNS serving as the network affiliate for Vojvodina providing multilingual programming in addition to RTS' national programs.
In 1999, the RTNS studios in the Mišeluk neighborhood of Novi Sad were bombed and destroyed by the NATO airforce. After the war, the RTNS was moved to the new building in the city centre.
After the Overthrow of Slobodan Milošević in 2000, the new Broadcasting Act of 2002 of the Republic of Serbia for the first time explicitly established Radio Television of Serbia (formed on the basis of Radio Television Belgrade exclusively) and Radio Television of Vojvodina as distinct public broadcasters. [4] Previously centralized RTS was constituted of Radio Television Belgrade , Radio Television of Prishtina and Radio Television of Novi Sad. [4] In 2006, the previously centralized RTS was legally divided into two separate entities one of which was Radio Television of Vojvodina. [4]
In May 2006, the Radio Television of Serbia (Public Service of Serbia), based in Belgrade, ended its local services in Vojvodina, and with the reorganization of broadcasting services, Radio Television of Vojvodina (Public Service of Vojvodina), with headquarters in Novi Sad, was now formed on the basis of the old RTNS and part of the RTS bureaus for the region.
The 2014 Law on Public Broadcasting Service in Serbia regulates the operations of public broadcasters requiring that they nominally serve the public interest. [5] In the same year, RTV held an open design competition for their new headquarters building at Mišeluk. The winning design was done by architects Dragoljub Kujović and Riste Dobrijević, while the interior was the work of Nikola Martinović of the N-MARTIN project. [6]
Construction of the new headquarters building at Mišeluk started in 2018 and was completed in 2019, in which radio and administration moved in. Symbolically, the first radio signals emitted from the new building was done on the 70th anniversary of RTV on 25 November 2019. Television move into the new building in January 2021. [6]
