  • The only Russian language public radio channel and programs in Russian on public TV channel might be closed due to cuts of state expenses

Telegraf reports that due to cuts of state expenses for public TV and radio channels, LTV-7 (the only public channel producing programs also in Russian) might close its programs in Russian language. Also the only Russian language public radio channel Latvian Radio-4 Dome Square might be closed. According to ex-Minister of Integration Nils Muiznieks, considerable reduction of LTV-7 audience and closure of Dome Square will be a blow to society integration because these channels are almost the only opportunity for the state to speak to Russian speaking audience.
