RUSSIAN TV LAUNCHES ARMY CHANNEL
TOMSK, February 2 (RIA Novosti's Alevtina Schepetina) - The Zvezda (Star), Russia's first-ever military television channel, is starting test casts, February 20, for Moscow and its environs, announced Sergei Ivanov, Defense Minister.
Private capital is welcome to invest, he added.
"We are considering prospects for other stockholders, commercial included, though the Defense Ministry will certainly hold the control block," the minister said to a news conference in Tomsk, Siberia.
....
The Zvezda will start with reruns of Russian-made patriotically minded features and documentaries, later on to shift to its own productions, said Mr. Lebedev.
