The legal foundation for the institution is the Law on RTV Slovenia ( and Television stations. The law also requires it to air radio and television services for both indigenous minorities, which is done with the help of the regional broadcasting centres (Maribor for the Hungarian minority, Koper for the Italian minority). Recently, RTV Slovenija has been increasingly active online, especially after a new multimedia portal has been introduced in 2002. The portal includes regular news updates, broadcast archives and live transmissions of most services, both radio and television, online. HISTORY Radio Ljubljana signed on the air for the first time on September 1 , 1928 , with experimental broadcasts. By October 28, the radio station already had a scheduled programme. On April 11 , 1941 , the station's Transmitter in Domžale was destroyed and the station was occupied by Italian Fascists . On April 1 , 1949 the first TV laboratory was established in Ljubljana, but was separate from the radio station. However, the task of setting up a television service was eventually assigned to Radio Ljubljana. On November 28 , 1958 the TV channel got a regular schedule, but it was shared by other Yugoslav republics, with TV Ljubljana getting around 30% of airtime. TV Ljubljana produced its first broadcast for Eurovision , showing Ski Jumping in Planica , in 1960 . During that decade, the amount of programming produced exclusively for Slovenian audiences increased substantially. On April 15 , 1968 , the main evening newscast was broadcast in the Slovenian language for the first time. It had previously originated in Belgrade and was produced in Serbo-Croatian . In 1971 , TV Koper/Capodistria, a subsidiary of RTV Ljubljana, was launched as the first bilingual TV station in Slovenia, serving the Italian community in Slovenia and Croatia . However, it enjoyed huge popularity in many parts of Italy . There, RAI still had a monopoly on television, so many Italians eagerly tuned into the new Yugoslav station, which broadcast mostly in color. Private companies built Transmitters and Translators in various parts of Italy that made TV Koper-Capodistria (generally known as "Telecapodistria" in Italy) available to millions of Italians. Because the station used the PAL color standard, Italians bought PAL TV sets in large numbers, ending the hopes of the French government that Italy might adopt its SECAM system instead. With the advent of privately owned, purely Commercial Television in Italy, the station's popularity eventually began to diminish. During the 1970s, TV Ljubljana's main service was also gradually converted to color. In 1984 , Teletext was introduced, while in 1989 , Radio Ljubljana started transmitting an RDS signal. At first, TV Ljubljana's second television network primarily relayed programs from other Yugoslav television stations. In the late 1980s, however, the percentage of TV Ljubljana's own programs on the second network increased dramatically. A year before Slovenia's independence in 1991 , the institution was renamed RTV Slovenija (from RTV Ljubljana). RTV Slovenija became an independent member of the European Broadcasting Union following the collapse of Yugoslavia. In the mid- to late 1990s, TV Slovenija began to face increased competition from Slovenia's Commercial Television Stations . The public broadcaster's specific role is still being debated, and overstaffing is widely considered to be a serious problem. In 2001 , RTV Slovenija's Multimedia Centre was established to help introduce new technologies. RADIO SERVICES There are 3 national and 4 regional radio services.
