The Russian television industry, as a result, has undegone many remarkable changes. Russian television as it transitioned from the Soviet era was owned and operated by federal and regional government agencies. All domestic programming was produced by state-owned government production companies or film studios. The television industry was funded entirely from government budgets. There was no commercial advertising. Only two Russian channels were broadcasted nationlly. Most Russian viewers had acces to two-five diffrent channels, depending on where they lived. There was some small-scale private operations which operated without government licenses. There was no market research into viewer preferences. TV stations were privatized in the early 1990s. The Russian Government under President Putin, however, has restablished state control over Russian television. We have only limited information on Russian programing, but Russian readers have provided some informtion. One program that Russian readers mention is "The Witty Kids" (about 1997). The children on the program solve riddles, telling funny stories etc. Another program was "Morning Star" (about 1998). It was a Sunday morning program which appears to have been a variety program. Some of the acts including children, including singers, musicians and dancers. A Russian reader tells us about popular weekly (friday) TV-Show "Pole Choodes" (Field of Wonders) in 2003. Usually children didn't take part in this show, but several times a year a special show was done with with children as players.

It looks to HBC like the Russian Government under President Putin, however, has restablished state control over Russian television. Some Russian readers do not entirely agree with this statement. Another development has been new networks devoted to children's programming.
We have only limited information on Russian programing. As far as we know, Russian programming is only broadcasted in Russia. Thus programming is virtually unknown outside of Russia. Of course lnguge i a major factir here. Unlike languages like Englishm French, and Spanish which are spoken in several different countries, Russian is only spoken in Russia and former Soviet countries. Russian readers have provided HBC some informtion on Russian programming.
