BTV is a Lithuanian television station, established in 1993. BTV broadcasts 24 hours a day and has its headquarters in Vilnius. The program includes entertainment, information and educational programs, films and productions. BTV cover 80% of Lithuania's territory.

History

In April 1993, the joint Lithuanian-US company "Baltijos televizija" was established; its main shareholder was the US company "American Equitable Finance Corporation", led by Kęstutis Makaitis, and the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania became the smaller shareholder. In the same year, Baltijos Televizija, founded by the company, started broadcasting. This channel in 1994-1995 shared the same UHF channel (38) as TV Polonia. It was also rebroadcast on TELE-3. In 1996 the channel began to expand its network of correspondents when the Kupiškis studio was established. In the 1996-1998 period it used to rebroadcast BBC and CNN programs for most of its output.

On May 30, 2002, the channel was shut down when its frequencies were taken by TV4, but two years later, it was relaunched on September 17, 2004.

In 2018–19, the corporate identity was changed.
