OBN (abbreviation of Open Broadcast Network) is a local television network broadcasting a TV channel in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The station is headquartered in the Pofalići neighborhood in Sarajevo.
OBN was founded in 1996 as the Open Broadcast Network by the Office of the High Representative and the European Union. It was oriented towards general news, and the international owners invested the equivalent of $20 million to contribute to OBN's development as a neutral television channel.
The station came under private ownership in 2000, when it was acquired by Ivan Ćaleta, a Croatian entrepreneur and former owner of Nova TV. Later, AMC Networks International bought an 85% stake in the television.[1] Ćaleta bought the share back from AMC Networks in November 2019, making him the sole owner of the channel once again.[2]
