- Georgian Public Broadcasting
Georgian Public Broadcasting (Georgian საქართველოს საზოგადოებრივი მაუწყებელი, "sakartvelos sazogadoebrivi mauts'q'ebeli") is the national public broadcaster of Georgia. It started broadcasting radio in 1925, and Georgian TV started broadcasting in 1956. Today, 85% of the Georgian population receive the First Channel, and 55% receive the Second Channel. Georgian TV's programmes are also received by satellite and over the Internet in a number of European and Asian coutries.
The adoption of Law on Broadcasting in 2004, started the process of transformation of Georgian TV from being a state broadcaster into a public broadcaster. In 2005 the Georgian Parliament elected a Board of Governors, composed of nine members. One of them, Tamar Kintsurashvili, from Liberty Institute, was later elected as the first Director General of GPB. Levan Qubaneishvili is the current occupant of this position.
