National Television and Radio Company of Uzbekistan

The National Television and Radio Company of Uzbekistan (Uzbek: Oʻzbekiston Milliy teleradiokompaniyasi, MTRK) is the national broadcaster of Uzbekistan, operating four television networks.[1]

Two new channels were launched by the company in early 2013: 'Madaniyat va Maʼrifat' ('Culture and Enlightenment') and 'Dunyo boʻylab' ('Around the World').[2] By the end of the year, four new channels were launched using frequencies of private television channels which were prohibited by the Uzbek authorities.

In January 2013, the organisation's website was hacked by a hacker going with the handle @CloneSecurity.[3] The attack was said to have been launched for political reasons.[4]
