Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network launches a digital chronicle of the development of a digital television and radio network in Russia

Broadcaster of Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network (RTRS) prepared an interactive online project. The publication of materials is timed to coincide with the 90th anniversary of Russian TV and the two-year anniversary of the broadcasting federal channels exclusively in digital format.

The digital chronicle of RTRS contains a chronicle of the launch of each transmitter, the start date of the inclusion of regional programmes in the digital broadcast and much more. Its materials include a collection of notable facts about the construction.

The digital chronicle also serves as an online reference for TV viewers. Each repeater has a profile of the location and parameters required to set up the digital receivers in its area of coverage.

On October 14, 2019, Russia completed the disconnection of analogue TV broadcasting and the transfer of television to digital technologies. This was preceded by a decade of construction and launching of a new broadcasting infrastructure.

RTRS established the world’s largest digital network of 5,040 transmission stations (repeaters).

There are 87 stations in Tatarstan covering 99.38 per cent of the region’s population.

As many as 30,000 people from 4,000 organizations participated in the creation of the TV network.
