SloveniaOn August 4, 2026, Slovenia commemorated the 68th anniversary of its first public television broadcast, which took place on August 4, 1956, during the International Radio and Telecommunications Exhibition at the Economic Fair in Ljubljana. At the time, there were only around 24 private television sets in the city, so viewers were placed in retail stores along main streets to ensure broader public access. The event featured radio announcers on screens, with Frane Milčinski – Ježek, a legendary figure, among the early participants. The article outlines key milestones in Slovenian television history, including the first experimental public broadcast in 1956, the official start of regular broadcasts by Television Ljubljana in 1958, the debut of the first Slovenian TV drama in November 1958, and the beginning of color broadcasting experiments in 1966. It highlights the challenges faced, such as linguistic and programming pressures due to the shared Yugoslav network, where most content was in Serbian-Croatian, and the efforts of Slovenian creators to establish their own programs.
