Summary/Abstract: The article offers a detailed synthesis regarding the system of ideas and principles based on which the first regional public service television was created in Romania 30 years ago. As we all know, institutions are born as a result of the efforts of the people who found them, the pioneers whose spirituality is to be eternally ingrained in the atmosphere of said institution, as well as in the mind and soul of those who work there. One such pioneer was Sándor Csép, the first lead editor of the minority department office of the regional studio from Cluj/Kolozsvár of the Romanian Television. The article was written in his memory. About three months after the studio had been established, he gave an interview to Péter Cseke, the editor of the Korunk, in which he presented the system of concepts and principles based on which the work in the studio was to be organized. From a 30-year perspective, I wondered how many traces of this spirituality could still be found in the atmosphere of the studio and whether the institution met or indeed, meets the hopes and expectations that had been expressed upon its creation, both by the creators and the audience.
