Vesti Segodnya reports about draft amendments to the Law on Electronic Mass Media stipulating that operators of cable TV will be obliged to include obligatory TV channels in their broadcasting package. According to the draft amendments proposed by the National Council on Electronic Mass Media (NCEMM), the operators will have to include at least four  EU TV channels – one with at least 50% of broadcast in Latvian language, and three others in official EU languages – one with news, analytic, and informational programmes, one with scientific popular programmes, and one with programmes for youth and children. According to the members of the NCEMM Aija Dulevska, the aim of the draft amendments is to restrict impact of Russia’s TV channels in Latvia.
