TVR Timișoara is the regional studio of the Societatea Română de Televiziune (TVR) for western Romania, covering Timiș, Arad, Caraș-Severin and Hunedoara, an audience of around two million. It began broadcasting on 17 October 1994, initially producing just 35 minutes of programmes each week.

From weekly broadcasts to a regional channel

On 25 January 2002, the studio launched a daily regional programme, airing two hours each evening from 18:00 to 20:00 as part of TVR 2. Satellite distribution of TVR’s regional studios followed on 19 March 2007. On 1 May that year, TVR Timișoara began its own programme on local terrestrial channel 53. Since 10 November 2008, it has produced programmes for TVR 3, the shared channel of TVR’s regional studios, and has also made documentaries, news programmes and duplex broadcasts for TVR 1, TVR 2, TVR Internațional and TVR Cultural.

Cross-border cooperation

The studio has cooperation agreements with broadcasters across the borders: RTV Novi Sad, RTV Pančevo and TV Banat Vršac in Serbia, MTV Szeged in Hungary, and Transcarpatia TV in Uzhhorod, Ukraine. These partnerships reflect the multi-ethnic character of the Banat region. Its productions have received more than 120 prizes at national and international television festivals. Since 2010, cable operators have been required to carry the channel in its four counties under must-carry rules.

Regional and minority programming

Alongside regional reporting, TVR Timișoara produces minority-language programmes and regional news, with its work distributed through TVR’s regional service. Its coverage area, cross-border partnerships and range of public-broadcasting productions define the studio’s role in western Romania. The channel’s regional productions are part of Romania’s online television landscape, with a focus on the Banat and neighboring communities.
