Lithuanian National Radio and Television, also known as Lietuvos nacionalinis radijas ir televizija and Lietuvos Radijas ir Televizija, is a State Owned entity headquartered in Lithuania. Founded in 1926, it operates with approximately 770 employees and reported $10.4M in revenue as of 2023. Functioning as a tier 2 media tech buyer, the company specializes in broadcast television and radio services. It has provided regular radio services since 1926 and television broadcasts since 1957, joining the European Broadcasting Union in 1993. The organization operates three national television channels, radio stations, and an internet website.
The LRT Council will consider next week whether its director general, Monika Garbačiauskaitė-Budrienė, committed a workplace violation by failing to disclose names of individuals from whom the public broadcaster purchased services. This follows President Gitanas Nausėda signing into law amendments on June 12, 2026, overhauling LRT's governance. The changes, passed by the Seimas just over a week prior, introduce an LRT board, expand the broadcaster's council, establish fixed terms for governing body members, and strengthen their powers. Previously, on June 11, a coalition of European and international media organizations urged Lithuanian authorities to make further changes to the legislation, warning that key concerns over governance, funding, and editorial independence remained unresolved. Earlier, in March 2026, the European Broadcasting Union's (EBU) Executive Board expressed serious concern over the proposed amendments to the Law on Lithuanian National Radio and Television. This broader context includes tens of thousands of people gathering in Vilnius in December 2025 under the banner "Hands Off Free Speech," in response to warnings that the Lithuanian public broadcaster faced coordinated pressures following patterns of media capture.
