History

TVR is the Romanian national TV service provider. TVR has seven national TV channels: TVR1, TVR2, TVR3, TVR Cultural, TVR Info, TVRi, and TVR HD. It also has six regional TV channels or "studios" ("studiouri teritoriale"): TVR Bucureşti, TVR Cluj, TVR Craiova, TVR Iaşi, TVR Târgu-Mureş and TVR Timişoara.

• 1956 - TVR was established in Bucharest and had its first broadcast on December 31 from a little building (a deserted cinema studio) on Moliere Street no. 2.
• 1968 - A second channel, TVR2, was created. TVR2 was suspended from 1985, due to the "energy saving programme" initiated by Nicolae Ceau║escu.
• 1983 - TVR introduced color television. Although the rest of the Eastern Bloc countries adopted the Soviet-backed SECAM system, TVR chose to implement the PAL system.
• 1989 - Rebels occupied the TVR building, in the afternoon of December 22 and announced that the Ceau║escus had fled.
• 1995 - TVRi was launched on December 1, Great Union Day, the national holiday.
• 2002 - TVR Cultural was launched.
• 2008 - June 1, TVR HD started broadcasting in HD. Euro 2008 and the 2008 Summer Olympics were transmitted in HD.
