History
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.
