Bayrak Radio Television Corporation is 61 years old.

Founded 61 years ago, Bayrak Radio, as a well-established institution today, is working with all its strength to make the voice of the Turkish Cypriot people heard to the world in accordance with its mission.

The anniversary of the establishment of BRT will be celebrated with a public reception to be held on Friday, December 27.

Bayrak Radio is reaching its listeners with live broadcasts from the front of the Post Office this year, as it did last year.

Bayrak Radio started broadcasting 61 years ago, on December 25, 1963, when the Greek Cypriots excluded the Turkish Cypriots from the Republic of Cyprus partnership.

On July 19, 1976, it started to serve as Bayrak Radyo Television with television broadcasts that were commissioned with black and white studio equipment dismantled and brought from Diyarbakır.

Today, Bayrak Radio Television Corporation, which has become a powerful institution broadcasting television broadcasts on 3 channels and radio broadcasts on 6 stations, will celebrate its 61st anniversary this year with the motto “Overcoming Obstacles”.

Within the framework of the 61st founding anniversary events, a public reception will be held on Friday, December 27 at 11.00 at the foyer of the BRTK Broadcasting History Museum.

An event will also be held at 18.00 on the same day for the anniversary of the founding of the institution.

The event, which is being organized under the main sponsorship of the Directorate of the Culture Department with the contributions of the Lefkoşa Municipality, Girne Municipality, Gönyeli-Alayköy Municipality and Korman Construction and under the project coordination of Betül Arslan Akkuş, will take place at the Bellapais Monastery.

Within the framework of the event, “the Flag from the Black and White Years until Today” exhibition will also be opened.

As every year, the Bayrak Radio team is addressing its listeners in front of the Post Office with live broadcasts today.
