Lattelecom: finding buyers for TV channel offers without Russian TV is a problem
BC, Riga, 31.03.2015.Print version
Creating a program of TV channels without Russian TV is not a problem; the problem is to find a buyer for such a program, CEO of Lattelecom Juris Gulbis said in an interview with Latvian Radio this morning, cites LETA.
Gulbis revealed that such an offer would also be very expensive – the cost would be ten times higher than now. He doubts whether residents would be willing to pay such a price, as only about 200 people responded to the suggestion that a program of TV channels without Russian TV could be created.
Gulbis also emphasized that Russian TV channels account for a significant part of income for the TV distribution industry in general.
As reported, following the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russian propaganda has been increasing on Russian television channels.
