Watching Russian TV in Antwerp

 

 

If you're studying Russian, or you're a Russian living in Antwerp, it is quite interesting to be able to receive Russian Television Programms. Since only few European Television Stations are broadcasting Russian programms or films ("ARTE" does someetimes, watch their programm-listings), you should look for receiving our own stations (ORT, NTV, ... )
This is a survey of how you can receive them in Antwerp (Belgium).

ORT - our first public channel

This channel is mainly broadcasting news, films, series and shows. They also have a bit of child programms, music programms and documentaries.
