National Public Service Broadcaster In Bosnia is Collapsing.

A divided nation failed to create a common media platform. 

After more than ten years of chronic underfunding, the public service broadcaster and EBU member BHRT - Radiotelevision of Bosnia and Herzegovina has today been forced to close its television channel BHT1 and radio channel BH Radio 1. The company's debts amount to around 40 million euro, of which onefifth is owed to the EBU. The background is a political and economic crisis. The problems include unpaid license fees, disagreements over media laws, debts to the EBU, and the regional broadcasters (RTRS and RTVF) refusing to transfer revenues.

Public Service Radio Challenged by New Commercial Broadcaster in Sweden

 Aftonbladet Radio might be a salvation for a feeble commercial radio industry.

The Media Authority has announced three new permits to broadcast commercial FM radio nationally; two broad music and entertainment channels and a current affairs and news channel for the period 2026-2034. The newspaper Aftonbladet will broadcast a news-focused channel in contrast to the two other entertainment-oriented radio channels. The decision means that commercial radio at least partly can now develop into what politicians envisioned 33 years ago; a private advertising-financed alternative to public service radio (Sveriges Radio P1 and P4).
