B92 is a television broadcaster with national coverage headquartered in Belgrade, Serbia. The network's key demographic is chiefly urban and young audience. Veran Matić is the CEO and one of the founders of B92. Dragan Đilas was also one of the founders of B92, he was a news editor at the radio station. Since 19 March 2012, B92 uses a cube-shaped logo in which its name is spelled with a lowercase b (as b92).
The station was a rare outlet for Western news and information in FR Yugoslavia under Slobodan Milošević, and was a force behind many demonstrations that took place in Belgrade during the turbulent 1990s. Due to this, B92 won the MTV Free Your Mind award in 1998, and many other awards for journalism and fighting for human rights. B92 is the subject of the best-selling book This is Serbia Calling.
In April 2008, B92 launched their second TV channel with 24-hour news coverage named B92 Info. This channel is cable only.
On November 3, 2014, B92 started broadcasts in 16:9.
The radio station originally went on the air in 1989 with financial help from the Soros Foundation and USAID, though it was shut down by authorities a few times in its early years.
Rock could be so good
But we make it all so rubbishy
Signal's down and the men are searching this quarter
Power's gone and we got no heat and no water
But we're the salmon against the tide
You better get ready when the sounds arrive
Because the boys are back in town
And nothing can stop us now
Ooh, this is our wall of sound
Hate and fear are taking over this city
But they'll never get through when the records are sounding so pretty
'Cause we're the salmon against the tide
Gotta get a line to the world outside
To play the boys are back in town
And nothing can stop us now
Ooh, this is our wall of sound
But we're the salmon against the tide
You better get ready when the sounds arrive
Because the boys are back in town
And nothing can stop us now
Ooh, this is our wall of sound
Ooh, this is our wall of sound
Ooh, this is our wall of sound
