Millet is a pro-Russian Crimean Tatar TV channel that has been broadcasting in Crimea since September 1, 2015. On April 1, 2016, it began satellite broadcasting via the Yamal-401 satellite and covers the entire territory of Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and the countries of Central Asia.[1] It is based in Simferopol.

History

[edit]

Previously, Crimean Tatar TV channel ATR and radio station Meydan worked on the peninsula, which were deprived of their license by the new administration after the annexation of Crimea by Russia.[4] On August 10, 2015, Roskomnadzor registered the Millet TV channel and the radio station Vatan Sedasy.[5]
