NTV (Cyrillic: НТВ) is a Russian free-to-air television channel that was launched as a subsidiary of Vladimir Gusinsky's company Media-Most.[1]
History[]
Gusinsky era[]
Gusinsky established NTV broadcasting on October 10, 1993 on channel 4, and it moved to channel 5 in January 1994.[1]
On March 24, 2000, NTV's Independent Investigation featured the Ryazan apartment bombing two days before the presidential elections. Boris Nemtsov expressed concern over NTV's potential shut-down for airing the talk 2 days later.[2]
Gazprom era[]
On April 14, 2001, Gazprom forcedly took over NTV and incorporated its own management team, replacing director-general Yevgeniy Kiselyov with Boris Jordan.[citation needed]
Termination[]
On May 17, 2022,[3] HTB's YouTube channel was terminated due to Russian broadcaster NTV's YouTube channels being unavailable to residents of over 70 countries, including all European ones.[4]
Trivia[]
- Igor Malashenko, the founder and author of NTV, claims the acronym has no official meaning, but in the 1990s, unofficial transcripts included "New", "Independent", "Non-governmental", and "Our".[5][6]
