Bulgarian National Television
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bulgarian National Television (Bulgarian: Българска национална телевизия) or BNT (БНТ) is the public broadcaster of Bulgaria. The company was founded in 1959 and began broadcasting on December 26 of the same year. BNT's headquarters are located in Sofia, Bulgaria.
BNT is funded from government funds (around 60%) with the rest coming from television commercials [1]. It broadcasts two television channels: the over-the-air BNT Channel 1 and the satellite TV Bulgaria, a channel aiming to broadcast Bulgarian production only. Another channel, Efir 2, existed between 1974 and 1998, and was later substituted by the private bTV.
The company has four regional broadcasting centres, based in Blagoevgrad (Pirin programme), Varna (More programme), Plovdiv (Plovdiv programme) and Rousse (Sever programme).
BNT's first live broadcast was the parade on the occasion of the October Revolution anniversary.
