Several Russian TV channels stopped broadcasting in Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan
The largest provider in Kyrgyzstan reported that the broadcasting of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company had been suspended. Russia 1 and Zvezda available in Turkmenistan
Some Russian TV channels have been switched off in Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan. In Kyrgyzstan about problems with their broadcasting story local telecommunications company “Aknet”. The reason, according to her, is technical, arising from the detection of broadcasts on international satellites.
The company’s website states that “due to the adoption in the prescribed manner of legislative restrictions on the distribution of all-Russian TV channels on international satellites, the broadcasting of VGTRK TV channels was unilaterally blocked.” For this reason, the broadcast of the TV channels Rossiya Kultura, Rossiya 24 and Zvezda is temporarily unavailable.
The problem was present two days ago, and so far the broadcast has not been restored, while the First Channel continues to work, says Makhinur Niyazova, deputy editor-in-chief of the 24.kg news agency in Kyrgyzstan:
– A few days ago, the Rossiya 24 TV channel stopped showing, we have it in the package. Today, the supplier company officially spread a message that in fact there is no place, it turns out, there are three channels – these are Rossiya 24, Rossiya Kultura and Zvezda. They referred to the fact that it was not their fault, they justify it by the fact that the signal does not come from the satellite, and now they somehow repeat this bypass and still establish broadcasting. But in our country there is a division I need about the fact that these are necessarily present. There is a suspicion that they were turned off due to moods. Some citizens call for participation in Russian channels. But the provider still attacks, what will fix their broadcasting and what they will show.
– It turns out that the provider says that broadcasting will be restored.
– Yes, the provider claims that they are now working on playback. The authorities have not officially commented on anything yet, they have not made any position, they have not made any statements on this matter. So far, one provider commented that it was in them in the package that he disappeared. But this is the most common Aknet provider, explain that due to malfunctions, the signal does not pass through the satellite, but they are checking to fix something.
– In general, are there any other Russian TV channels that, for example, are working now?
— The first channel is working. In fact, there are a lot of role-playing channels, they are simply not included in the TV broadcast package. They are on cable TV, including NTV, REN TV, entertainment channels – TNT, STS. AT [пакет] includes Channel One and Russia 24.
– “First” continues to work, but “Russia 24” does not?
– The first channel continues to work, it shows, but “Russia 24” is gone. Only the channels were turned off, as we were told, by the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company. According to the journalist, other providers have not yet reported such problems.
