Kremlin TV Airs on YouTube
As of yesterday, web users were also able to while away their time watching Russia Today programs onYouTube. The Moscow Times reports.
"A noncommercial deal has seen state-funded broadcaster Russia Today follow moves by a string of international media giants, including BBC, NBC, Reuters and Al-Jazeera, to hook up with the world's leading video-sharing web site in a bid to boost its global reach.
"Our new channel on YouTube will give us the chance to reach out to millions of Internet users who find it more convenient to go online to find news comment," Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of Russia Today, said in a statement.
Under the agreement, programs from the English-language, 24-hour satellite television station will be available via a branded channel on YouTube and updated daily. "
