GlobeCast WorldTV the leading aggregator and distributor of international television and radio programming in America has announced the launch of ARTN, the first 24-hour Armenian and Russian language television network in the United States.
The new channel will be distributed directly to consumers throughout the United States as part of GlobeCast WorldTVs European bouquet which also includes channels from 14 European countries including Italy, Poland and Romania. Produced live from ARTNs Los Angeles studio, the free-to-air service will offer the rapidly expanding Russian and Armenian communities in the United States a wide variety of cultural and entertainment programs including travel, fashion, food, childrens programs, game shows and an every day broadcast of soap operas.
