Lithuanian Radio and Television, LRT (formerly the Radio and Television Committee). Konarskio Street 49

After the bloody events at the foot of the TV tower, Soviet soldiers showed up by the Radio and Television Committee building.

People guarding the building on Konarskio Street tried to hold back the soldiers, but the armed men made their way hitting people with weapon butts and occasionally opening fire. One defender was killed, Alvydas Kanapinskas.

News hosts and other workers inside the building continued broadcasting until the very last moments when soldiers dragged them out by force. Later, the Soviets used the studios to broadcast propaganda.

Driven out of the building, LRT workers started airing radio programmes from a public library for blind people, TV people moved to a studio in Kaunas and, later, to the special studio in the Supreme Council. Transmitters in Sitkūnai and Juragiai were used to broadcast the programmes.

A TV broadcast that started on the night of January 13 from Kaunas was later entered into the national book of records as the longest uninterrupted live broadcast.

LRT workers returned to their studios and offices on Konarskio Street at the end of the following summer. They found damage done not just to the buildings, but also equipment and archives
