Director General of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Noel Curran together with Director General of the Georgian Public Broadcaster (GPB), Tinatin Berdzenishvili and Chairman of the GPB Board of Trustees, Vasil Maghlaperidze visited the GPB’s new building at Anna Politkovskaya Street in Tbilisi.

Tinatin Berdzenishvili said that the new building would not only be for the welfare of the Georgian Public Broadcaster but would serve as part of any creative industry.

“Today we inspected the building we will move into soon. I think for any TV lover, and especially for the head of the European Broadcasting Union, the infrastructure we are moving to is extremely important. We noted that this is a part of the content and not just a beautiful building but the need that is foremost for the public broadcaster because in an old, though historic building labor safety norms are not protected.

We also talked about open space for news and new studios which will be unique for our country. This will be the welfare not only of the public broadcaster but will serve as a contribution to any creative industry because they will have the opportunity to visit the studios, work here, and gift our viewers wonderful Georgian content,” she said.

The Georgian Public Broadcaster (GPB) hosts the 18th News Assembly of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) on November 22-23.
