Osobnosť televíznej obrazovky (Television Screen Personality), more commonly abbreviated as OTO, was a Slovak awards show recognizing the public figures and the work of popular culture in the country. Established by Art Production Agency (APA) in 2000, the television poll-based awards were voted on by the general viewing audiences. The annual ceremonies of the accolades were screened live by the national television network RTVS, usually in March for the previous calendar year.{{cite web|url=http://anketaoto.cas.sk/statut-ankety-oto|title=Osobnosť televíznej obrazovky (OTO) → About|work=Art Production Agency|at=anketaoto.sk|publisher=Ringier Axel Springer Slovakia|access-date=March 30, 2013|language=sk|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130325202318/http://anketaoto.cas.sk/statut-ankety-oto|archive-date=March 25, 2013}}

Reception

=TV ratings=

During the first decade, the show attracted in average over 700,000 viewers per ceremony, reaching its peak with a total audience of more than 855,00 viewers for the 7th season. Subsequently held ceremonies marked the second highest numbers for the title as whole. The 9th and 10th season were watched by 731,000 and 778,000 people respectively, with the latter being televised on two STV sister's channels at the same time; Jednotka (STV 1) and Trojka (STV 3).

Since the 2010s, the show format gains considerably less {{emdash}} roughly half a million audiences each year {{emdash}}, yet still making it the most watched television program within prime time in the region. The 12th season of the TV poll, or rather the only aired on a Friday instead, produced also the lowest ratings ever for the program; only 464,000 viewers that year.
