State Committee of Television and Radio Broadcasting of Ukraine

Until 1991, there were two separate bodies involved in information and publishing policy - the State Committee of the Ukrainian SSR for Creation created in 1963 and the State Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting of the Ukrainian SSR (State Television and Radio Broadcasting of the Ukrainian SSR) in 1931, which controlled the editors of Ukrainian television and the editorial office Ukrainian radio.

On May 13, 1991, the State Committee of the Ukrainian SSR on Television and Radio Broadcasting was transformed into the State Television and Radio Company of Ukraine (State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company of Ukraine).

In 1992, the State Press Committee of the Ukrainian SSR was liquidated, and the functions of conducting a national policy in publishing, registration of printed materials, and monitoring the implementation of the state order for the publication of textbooks and other individual publications were transferred to the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine. Soon, in May 1993, these functions were taken away from the Ministry of Culture and transferred to the newly created State Committee of Ukraine for Publishing, Printing and Book Distribution, which became the assignee of the State Compress.

In 1994, the Committee was reorganized into the Ministry of Ukraine for Press and Information.

In 1995, the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company of Ukraine was divided into the National Television Company of Ukraine and the National Radio Company of Ukraine, the State Committee of Ukraine for Television and Radio Broadcasting was reorganized, which is charged with “organizing the implementation of legislative acts in the field of television and radio broadcasting and the relevant decisions of the National Council on Television and Radio Broadcasting, management of state television and radio broadcasting and responsibility for its development, coordination of enterprises , institutions and organizations falling within its sphere of management. ” In addition, the State Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting of Ukraine was entrusted with the development of long-term plans for the development of state television and radio broadcasting in Ukraine and the coordination of the activities of national, regional and regional television and radio companies, providing them with methodological and organizational and technical assistance.

In 1996, after the adoption of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Ministry of Ukraine for Press and Information was reorganized into the Ministry of Information of Ukraine, and 4 months later the State Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting and the State News Agency of Ukraine (DINAU) were transferred to it. This continued until 1998, when they were subordinated to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.

In 1999, the Ministry of Information was liquidated, the State Committee for Information Policy was created in its place, which ensured the implementation of state policy in the information and publishing spheres. A year later, the Goskomteleradio and Goskominformpolitiki merged into one body - the State Committee for Information Policy, Television and Radio Broadcasting of Ukraine, which performs the functions of its predecessors.

In 2002, a third division was created in the structure of the State Television and Radio of Ukraine - State Television and Radio Company "Culture".

In 2003, the State Committee for Information Policy, Television and Radio Broadcasting again became the State Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting of Ukraine, but continues to perform functions that go far beyond issues of television and radio broadcasting: information policy, publishing, public morality, language policy, and the press. In the same year, the World Television and Radio Broadcasting Service of Ukraine created the Ukrainian Television and Radio Broadcasting Service. The following changes occurred only at the end of 2005, when the language policy issue was removed from the State Radio and Television and transferred to the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine. In early 2006, the function of registering print media, in addition to erotic print media, was transferred to the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine.

Then, in 2006, instead of the name “State Committee of Television and Radio Broadcasting of Ukraine” a new one appeared - “State Committee of Television and Radio Broadcasting”.

The latest changes occurred in May 2011, when, by decree of the President of Ukraine, the name was returned to the State Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting of Ukraine (Goskomteleradio of Ukraine).
