About Us

It started broadcasting on 10 December 2007. The channel is run by about 70 journalists located in Poland, Belarus, and Lithuania.
Criticism
The President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, has called Belsat a "stupid, uncongenial and unriendly project".
In September 2018, the former political activist Ivan Shyla was fired from Belsat after having posted a photo of Poland's president Andrzej Duda and US president Donald Trump on his Facebook page. The photo was accompanied by a critical comment which the top managers of Belsat, including personally its director Agnieszka Romaszewska-Guzy, who commented on the Facebook post, characterized as Shyla's disloyalty to Belsat. On the next day Ivan Shyla was removed from Belsat's editorial chats and received a message about his dismissal. The situation became a scandal and was covered by notable Belarusian and international media.
