ARTN TV

ARTN TV fills a narrow niche, Russian-language general entertainment produced from inside the United States. The mix includes studio talk shows, imported serials, and local news segments aimed at the post-Soviet diaspora. Talk shows feel lower-budget than Russia's Channel One: static sets, longer pauses, less polished graphics. But there's a sincerity bigger networks lose. Current affairs lean moderate, avoiding Kremlin-state media edges. Late-night slots run Soviet-era films, a draw for older viewers. Commercial breaks are short, stacked with ads for local businesses, real estate, immigration lawyers, ethnic grocery chains. Production values are functional, but the community orientation gives it warmth. It's a window into Russian-speaking America. To watch ARTN TV online, check Tvivu's listings. For a General tv United States channel in Russian, it's one of the few options.
