14 June: Russian NTV channel will no longer be broadcast in
Armenia. Today the National Commission for Radio and Television
[NCRT] unanimously decided to hand over the 23rd decimetre channel,
which previously relayed NTV channel programmes, to the Armenian
government for the transmission of Kultura [Culture] TV programmes.
The frequency was not put out to tender as it was given to the
government within the framework of an intergovernmental agreement on
the transmission of TV programmes concluded between Armenia and Russia.
The frequency was transferred to the Transport and Communications
Ministry. It is not yet clear who will rebroadcast. "The company
Paradiz [Paradise], which rebroadcast NTV, has no claims on it,"
the head of the NCRT, Grigor Amalyan, said. "The government has the
right to use it at its own discretion."
