The data comes from a nationally representative survey carried out by Market Link in May 2020, which showed that bTV is the most independent TV channel in Bulgaria that is most engaged in social topics and is the home to the most popular and most loved faces on the small screen.

“The growing confidence our viewers have been placing with us is the biggest reward we are celebrating today. A lot has changed for the past 20 years, but bTV’s popularity among the TV audience remains unchanged. It is impressive that even in times when television is watched in new ways and the media environment has been evolving rapidly, bTV today is a symbol of independent journalism and the place for highest quality entertainment,” said bTV Media Group CEO Florian Skala.

bTV enjoys the sympathies of the highest number of viewers (over 41%) when it comes to the modern vision of its news and current affair shows. Being a technology innovator, over the years the media has been first to introduce HD broadcasts, 3D-mapping, 360˚ video, and augmented reality on air, as well as 360˚ livestream.

The media has repeatedly demonstrated its power to unite hundreds of thousands of volunteers for the sake of good causes. Its hosts, reporters, and editorial teams are personally engaged in many campaigns that benefit the public and, with their perseverance and success over the years, they have become established ambassadors of the good example in Bulgaria.

This is one of the reasons why over 38% of respondents in the Market Links survey say that the TV channel’s team is home to the most popular and most loved faces on air. At the same time, more than 32% feel these faces are people who are close to them and people they can trust.
