In January 2017 RU.TV switched to the
16:9 format and began broadcasting in
HDTV.
Broadcast In several Russian cities—
Derbent,
Domodedovo,
Kaspiysk,
Kyzyl,
Perm,
Simferopol and
Makhachkala—RU.TV is on broadcast
analog frequencies. Since the channel was carrying commercials before they were banned on broadcast television at the beginning of 2015,
it is allowed to continue doing so.
Cable In Russia RU.TV is carried by
ER-Telecom. When it went live in 2009 it was carried on
Akado; a year later it moved to
National Cable Networks. In Moscow this put RU.TV on Mostelekom; later in 2010 it became available online.
Satellite RU.TV is freely available on the
Yamal 201 and
ABS-2A satellites.
Network partners RU.TV partners with
Labytnangi-TV in that city, PTK-Avto in
Perm and MTV POBEGAILO in
Slavgorod. ==References==
