"The Georgian Public Broadcasting (GPB) was established under the Georgian Law on Public Broadcasting. Its purpose is to provide accurate and up-to-date information that is free from political and commercial bias and is shared without any hidden agendas. The programming seeks to address the needs and interests of the larger Georgian society through diversity of programs and viewpoints. "The Georgian Public Broadcasting complies with acting Georgian legislation and operates as a governmental legal entity that is publicly owned and financed. The intelligential product is intended for Television-Radio Broadcasting on non-commercial airwaves. This legal entity operates independently from governmental direction and control. It is publicly accountable under collective ownership and operates freely from any state structure or institution."Creation of the Georgian Public Broadcasting is connected to the Law on Broadcasting, which was adopted by the Georgian Parliament on December 23, 2004, and enacted into force on January 18, 2005. The transformation process of the Television-Radio Corporation into Public Broadcasting was concurrent to adoption of this law. The process coincided with the introduction of a new and innovative management style. On June 10, 2005, the Georgian Parliament approved the selection of a slate of human resource staffing for the Board of Trustees, which is a representative body of the larger Georgian society and is publicly accountable. The Board of Trustees elected a General Director of the Georgian Public Broadcasting through a fair and open competition on August 19, 2005. In addition, eight Public Boards were subsequently established to take into consideration public concerns when airing various programs that are designed to be responsive to their interests and needs. The Public Board provides Public Broadcasting with helpful recommendations, continued feedback, and timely and constructive suggestions.
