Russian TV channel debuts in China

November 1, 2017 10.26 Europe/London By Chris Dziadul

Russia’s PM Dmitry Medvedev has announced the launch of Katyusha, a Russian TV channel aimed specifically at viewers in China.

According to Vedomosti and AKTR, he did so whilst on an official visit to China from October 31 to November 2.

As previously reported by Broadband TV News, Katyusha is a joint project between Russia’s First Channel and Central Television of China. An agreement between the two parties was signed in the Kremlin, in the presence of the presidents of the two countries, in July this year.

However, Olga Golodets, Russia’s deputy PM for social affairs, said in September that negotiations on the launch of the channel had been going on for a very long time.
