CTC-International Hits Canada

MOSCOW: The international version of the Russian channel CTC has started broadcasting in Canada through Bell.

The channel, CTC-International, has a programming lineup in Canada that is very close to the original Russian version. It is now available to Bell subscribers on the Bell Fibe cable service.

Evgeny Kirichuk, CTC Media's international broadcasting director, said: "Canada has over half a million Russian-speaking residents. The demand for quality, Russian-language television content in this country is extraordinarily high. Thanks to Bell, CTC's entertainment projects will finally appear on many of the country's TV screens."
