Television service in Croatia is operated by HRT (Hrvatska Radio Televizija - Croatian Radio Television). This public institution has been broadcasting television since 1956, whilst radio, which is also a part of the HRT is on air since 1926.

The HRT (Television) is subject to the 35 member HRT Authority (Council), 15 of which are appointed by the parliament, 10 are chosen among prominent people from scientific, cultural and other institutions and 10 from within HRT. Television employs 1565 people and radio about 655 people who provide programmes for two TV and three radio channels. HRT is a nation-wide network with all round programmes produced in-house itself, or about 60%, the rest are imported. Croatia's 4,7 million inhabitants are reached by 96% of 1st and 2nd TV channel plus 90% of the 3rd. There are about 950,000 owners of TV sets and far more radio sets. There are monthly fees to be paid for both Radio and TV, an amount rising to less than $US5 out of which 2/3 is allocated to TV.

A coded digitalized satellite programme is operated daily from 17.00 - 01.00 hrs and is composed of the combination of programmes from the 1st and 2nd channels. The 1st being more "serious" and made of mostly domestic (HRT''s own) production and 2nd having more foreign series, mini series and movies. All programmes are in the Croatian language, the foreign ones mostly subtitled and sometimes dubbed. Cable TV is not being organised by HRT and is only available in some areas in Croatia. The regional TV stations mainly depend on HRT Zagreb and the main TV centres (Rijeka, Split, Osijek and Bjelovar) with some other smaller correspondent's centres contributing with daily 10 min. each in a nation wide programme operated from Zagreb and 45 min. daily at its own regional information programme, on 3rd channel which re-started broadcasting in November 1994.

Technically, most of the centres are operated independently.
