RT International

To air what - QueenCam?

Shame they can't hold off a month to use it for pop-up Commonwealth Games though the iPlayer somewhat negates the need for them now. Going way off topic but is just about room for the two BBC HD channels on COM7 to move to the PSB HD mux.

Someone speculated on DS this week, that as the code/mux for the HD mux is being rebuilt for regional BBC 1 etc, new encoders might allow a bit of elbow room for the News Ch HD and BBC 4 HD to find a new home. I do wonder if any such effort for BBC 4 would be academic very soon though?

RT's website seems to be shut down - so perhaps the sanctions on RT may have applied to it's website too?

I think your ISP blocked it. I can still access it.

Definitely seems for the best that RT's been taken off air:

Who is Julia Davis?

Does it matter, as long as it's an accurate representation of what's said in the video (and considering what we know about RT and the Russian government, it's fair to assume that it is). Or can we only post tweets about RT from an approved list of people you've heard of?

Julia Davis works for The Daily Beast. She set up the Russian Media Monitor to observe how the Russian media is portraying the war to the masses within Russia.

Thank you for answering me

It was just a question out of pure curiosity

The Glasgow Herald has spotted various bits of RT's old equipment are being auctioned off including the The Alex Salmond Show desk and some furniture and lamps used on set.



Lots of other equipment is being sold, and here is the link to the auction.

Would be interesting to know exactly how this auction is set up. I suspect it's all being managed at many arms-lengths for RT (or maybe they offloaded the stuff to a third party already?).

Are the RT International channels still being produced?

Only the Spanish language RT and the Arabic language RT are still being produced

RT broke impartiality rules 30 times before the station was taken off air. Hardly doubt RT will return to UK screens in the future.
