Overview
RTS HD (Serbian: РТС HD) is a high-definition television channel operated by Radio Television of Serbia (RTS), the state public broadcaster of Serbia. It is a product brand within the RTS portfolio of television and radio services, rather than a separate company. RTS HD was launched on 9 September 2009 and is described as the first digital television station in Serbia to broadcast in high definition. Initially, its signal was available only in Belgrade and Novi Sad; later it expanded to cover the whole territory of Vojvodina. On 21 March 2012, the channel was converted to the DVB-T2 format and subsequently broadcast across the entire territory of Serbia. As part of RTS, the channel is state-owned and funded through the public broadcasting system. Its programming mirrors the main RTS television output, including news, sports, culture, and entertainment, but delivered in HD quality. The channel is listed among the RTS television services on the broadcaster's official website, alongside RTS 1, RTS 2, RTS 3, RTS Svet, and thematic channels. RTS HD serves as a key element of Serbia's transition to digital terrestrial television and high-definition broadcasting.
History
RTS HD was launched on 9 September 2009 as the first digital television station in Serbia to broadcast in high definition. It was established by Radio Television of Serbia (RTS), the country's state public broadcaster. At its inception, the channel's signal was limited to Belgrade and Novi Sad, the two largest cities in Serbia. Over time, coverage was extended to the entire territory of Vojvodina, the northern autonomous province. A significant technological milestone occurred on 21 March 2012, when RTS HD was converted to the DVB-T2 standard, a second-generation digital terrestrial television format. Following this conversion, the channel became available across the whole territory of Serbia, supporting the national digital switchover. As part of RTS, the channel operates within the public broadcasting framework and is funded accordingly. It remains an active service, listed among RTS's television channels on the official website.
