Launched in February 2017, Current
Time, or Nastoyashchee Vremya in
Russian, is produced by Radio Free
Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) in cooperation with the Voice of America (VOA).
Current has until now been available only to cable TV subscribers in
Lithuania and now becomes a free-to-air terrestrial service available to all TV
users in the country.
The channel will also be accessible to people living in
neighboring countries within 50 kilometers from the Lithuanian border, Rasa
Jakilaitiene, advisor to the foreign minister, told.
According to the Foreign Ministry's press release, the channel offers
fact-based news and opinions that are missing in the media of non-democratic
neighbors.
Friday's ceremony of launching official rebroadcasts of Current Time
will be attended by Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius and Anne
Hall, the US ambassador to Lithuania.
