MRT 1 is Macedonia’s public television channel, funded to inform, educate and serve all citizens. Here is a closer look at the kinds of programs it broadcasts and when its main news airs.

Dnevnik: the public broadcaster’s news

MRT’s flagship bulletin, Dnevnik, traditionally airs at 19:30 each evening and is the main news reference point for viewers who want a public-service perspective on the day’s events.

Public-service programming

Beyond news, MRT 1 carries cultural and arts programs, music, documentaries, educational content and live coverage of state and parliamentary events — the kind of programming a public broadcaster is mandated to provide.

Entertainment and family

The schedule also includes general entertainment, acquired series and children’s and family programming.

How to watch

MRT 1 is free-to-air nationally and streams via MRT’s official site and app. For the official options and watching from abroad, see our MRT 1 channel guide.
