The All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (RTR), also known as Russia Television and Radio, is a national state-owned broadcaster which operates a number of television and radio channels. The company, founded in 1990, is based in Moscow.
Nationwide TV and radio channels are broadcast from Moscow via regional transmitters of the Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network, the terrestrial transmitting network. TV and radio channels are also delivered to the regions via satellite. Regional programs are produced in regional production studios. RTR's holding company reported in December 2019 that it broadcast in 54 languages (including from local studios), up from 53 languages in 2010; this includes the moribund Nganasan language, spoken by less than 1,000 traditionally semi-nomadic people.
