Radio Television of Montenegro (Montenegrin: Радио телевизија Црне Горе, Radio televizija Crne Gore - hence the acronym RTCG) is the public broadcasting organization of Montenegro. A state-owned company with its headquarters in Podgorica, it is made up of Radio Montenegro (RCG - Radio Crne Gore) and Montenegro Television (TVCG - Televizija Crne Gore). In July 2001 RTCG became a joint member, together with Radio Televizija Srbije (RTS), of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), and became a full member of the EBU upon the declaration of Montenegrin independence in 2006.

History

The first radio station in the Balkans and South-East Europe was established in Montenegro with the opening of a transmitter situated on the hill of Volujica near Bar by Knjaz Nikola I Petrović-Njegoš on 3 August 1904. Radio Cetinje commenced broadcasts on 27 November 1944 and in 1949, Radio Titograd was formed. In 1990 it changed its name to Radio Crna Gora.

In 1957, the first TV antenna was placed on Lovćen. It was able to receive pictures from Italy.

RTV Titograd was established in 1963 to produce original television programmes. RTV Titograd later became RTCG. The first broadcast by TVCG in Belgrade was a news program in 1964.

Since October 2002, RTCG has been a member of the EGTA, European Group of Television Advertising.

The station also broadcasts to Australia & New Zealand through the Optus D2 Satellite via UBI World TV
