The Radio Television of Kosovo (Albanian: Radiotelevizioni i Kosovës; Serbian: Радио-телевизија Косова, romanized: Radio-televizija Kosova; RTK) is the public service broadcaster in Kosovo. It was founded after the Kosovo War, replacing the equipment and property of the RTS branch in Pristina. RTK operates two radio services, offering a diverse range of news, music, and entertainment programs. Additionally, it runs four 24-hour television channels, broadcasting a variety of content including news, sports, culture, movies, and documentaries. RTK’s services are available on terrestrial and satellite networks, ensuring wide accessibility across Kosovo and to the diaspora.
As a public service broadcaster, RTK is funded through a combination of public funding, advertising revenue, and donations.
The RTK replaced the Radio Television of Pristina (Albanian: Radiotelevizioni i Prishtinës; Serbian: Радиотелевизија Приштинa, romanized: Radiotelevizija Priština) which was originally founded in 1974 until its end in 1990.
