In The World

In the ten years since its launch, the international version of Channel One has become the most high-scale and wellknown Russian-language TV channel in the world. Its range spans the globe; besides Russia and the CIS countries, the Channel One is viewed 24 hours a day in North America, Australia, Eastern and Western Europe, Africa and the Middle East. For the convenience of European and North American viewers, Channel One produces two versions adapted to time zones in these regions. Thanks to Channel One, a Russian-speaking viewer in every corner of the world can be well-informed about everything happening in Russia and about the Russian view of the world events. Immigrants and citizens of the former Eastern Bloc, foreigners studying Russian, Russian and CIS tourists, Russians working abroad — with any of these groups Channel One is the most recognizable and highly acclaimed brand among Russian-speaking channels.

The success of Channel One’s international broadcasting is evidenced by the rapid growth of its foreign audience, over 50 million as of the first half of 2006 and not including the countries immediately around Russia.
