🌴 RTVI Expands Across the Caribbean

Its content is now available in Jamaica, the Bahamas, Barbados, and other islands in the region, bringing the network’s total footprint to 187 territories worldwide.
​
RTVI has become the first Russian‑language media company to actively adopt the FAST (Free Ad‑Supported Streaming TV) model — free, ad‑supported television that does not require a subscription.
​
The model enables distribution in markets where cable networks are not economically viable due to a limited audience. The potential Russian‑speaking audience in the Caribbean is estimated at 40,000–70,000 people.
​
The format also provides deep analytics on audience behavior and viewing geography.
​
RTVI CEO Dmitry Suryaninov emphasized that the development of FAST broadcasting is a strategic priority for the channel, allowing it to reach compatriots in the most remote corners of the world.
