NOTES ON METHODOLOGY

Sources and methods of data collection

Data published in this First Release are the result of annual processing of statistical data that are collected through the Annual Report on Radio Broadcast (RADIO-1 form) and the Annual Report on Television Broadcast (TV-1 form).

Coverage and comparability

Surveys cover radio stations and TV broadcasters that have a licence for the operation on the territory of the Republic of Croatia. Data are comparable to those from previous years, except for those on persons in employment. Since the data are used solely for statistical purposes, they are not published individually – by name of the institution, which makes them confidential.

The Republic of Croatia is divided into nine digital coverage areas (called D1 – D9), which consist of two or more counties or parts thereof. In addition, there are also six smaller urban areas (D41, D51, D52, D71, D72 and D81).

Analogue transmitters in all digital coverage areas that transmitted programmes of national TV broadcasters have been turned off, that is, the process of transition to digital transmission ended on 5 October 2010.

Definitions and explanations

Radio stations and TV broadcasters are institutions that broadcast programme for the public via radio and TV transmitters and TV converters.

According to the territorial coverage, radio stations and TV broadcasters can cover the whole country, that is, the programme can be received on the whole territory of the Republic of Croatia, in a particular region or in a particular narrow area.

According to status, radio stations and TV broadcasters can be public, non-profit and independent, while television channels can be public and independent.

In-house broadcasted radio programme includes programmes made either in own production or in co-production with other radio stations or those produced by other radio stations.

The origin of the in-house broadcasted programme can be own production, production of other domestic producers and foreign production. Satellite programme is an in-house broadcasted programme.

Effective radiated power is a parameter that defines the power of the radio station and television. It indirectly includes their transmission area, which, apart from the power, also depends on the altitude of the antenna system and the relief.

Persons in employment presented in tables 1.2. and 2.3. also include staff working for both Hrvatski radio and Hrvatska televizija due to the fact that Hrvatska radiotelevizija is, according to its Statute (NN, No. 14/13), organised as a single institution.

Territorial constitution

Data by counties are presented on the basis of the Act on Territories of Counties, Towns and Municipalities in the Republic of Croatia (NN, No. 86/06) with the situation as on 31 December 2020.
