LRT televizija (abbreviated LRT TV), formerly known as LTV 1, is the flagship television channel of Lithuanian National Radio and Television.

History
LRT televizija was launched on 30 April 1957 as LTV (Lietuvos Televizija), and began broadcasting in colour in 1975 using SECAM colour. The channel was rebranded on 27 July 2012 to LRT televizija. Broadcasting in 16:9 format began on 25 March 2013. A HD version of the channel was launched on 20 January 2014. LRT televizija broadcasts an average of 18 hours per day (as of 2014, it is 24 hours per day) and is visible throughout Lithuania, via streaming and via the satellite Sirius 4 and Eastern Europe (one of the Viasat package of encrypted channels). LRT televizija can be watched free on the internet. However, due to copyright restrictions, Lithuania is the only country to watch LRT televizija through an "ISP only" service.
