Bulgarian National Television
- Bulgarian National Television
The Bulgarian National Television ( _bg. 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. It began broadcasting in color in 1970. BNT's headquarters are located in Sofia, Bulgaria, in a building located at the well-known address of 29 San Stefano Str.
BNT is funded from government funds (around 60%) with the rest coming from television commercials [http://www.obs.coe.int/oea_publ/iris/iris_plus/focus6_2000.pdf.en] . It broadcasts two television channels: the over-the-air BNT 1 and the satellite BNT Sat, a channel aiming to broadcast Bulgarian production only. Another channel, Efir 2, existed between 1974 and 2000, 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.
