Russia Today TV, more often known as Russia Today is a global English-language news channel from Russia, owned and operated by the TV Novosti division of Russia's state news agency, RIA-Novosti. It is available around the world via satellite and it started broadasting almost three months late[1] on December 10, 2005. The broadcast is also available online from the Russia Today TV homepage. (After the channel started broadcasting, a US-based online Russian news service Russia Today, unrelated to the TV channel, changed its name to The Russia News Service.) The channel sets out to present the Russian point of view on events in Russia and its 'near abroad' and give the viewers an opportunity to get acquainted with Russian views on world and domestic events. A major part of Russia Today air time is devoted to Russian and world news but it also airs business and sports news. In addition, Russia Today features, documentaries and commentaries on present-day life in Russia and its history. Russian viewers can receive the English-language channel as a part of the NTV Plus basic package. In the UK and Ireland, it is available on the Sky platform's channel 516. In Italy is available on the Sky Italia Channel 954. In the US, it is available to digital customers of Time Warner Cable of New York and New Jersey, Channel 135. [2] The first all-digital Russian TV channel, Russia Today cost about $30 million in 2005 to set up - before it even started broadcasting.[3] Like Al Jazeera English, France 24 and Germany's DW World, the channel can be seen as an attempt to provide an alternative to the Anglophone point of view on international news dominated by CNN International and BBC World.
