BHT1 is a Bosnian national public mainstream TV channel operated by Radio and Television of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BHRT). The channel broadcasts on a daily basis for 20 hours in one of the two alphabets (Bosnian Latin alphabet and Bosnian Cyrillic alphabet). This television channel broadcasts a variety of programmes such as news, talk shows, documentaries, sports, movies, and children's programs. BHT1 also broadcasts teletext services.

History

It started broadcasting on 1 June 1961 relaying programmes produced in Zagreb and Belgrade, then it produced its own news magazine from 17 March 1969, followed by the inaugural Dnevnik on 25 February 1971. It migrated to the Television House in 1975.

After attempting to survive in the 1990s when the country was living through a war, BHTV1 resumed in 2002 following the passage of the PBSBiH Act. It did not receive its own frequency again until August 2004, up until then, it had its airtime given to FTV and RTRS.

The channel achieved record high viewing figures during the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Normal programming (except news) was suspended on 26 February 2026, being replaced by a message telling viewers that there is a possibility that BHRT will shut down.
