RT Spanish started broadcasting in Argentina on Thursday, which makes it the first foreign TV channel on national television in the Latin America country. It will be available for over 80% of the country’s 42 mln population.
A joint initiative of the two countries was made possible by the presidents of Russia and Argentina, Vladimir Putin and Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who inaugurated the 24/7 broadcast during a video conference.
President Putin said he was sure that “the launch of a Spanish-language Russian channel in Argentina will make Russia much more understandable and will promote the further rapprochement between the peoples of our countries.”
Argentinian President Cristina Kirchner said “We are really glad to welcome RT Spanish in Television Digital Terrestre (TDA), which is available all over the country.”
“Harsh information wars and attempts of some countries to monopolize the truth and use it in their own interests have become a sign of modern times,” Putin said stressing that “in these circumstances alternative sources of information are particularly in demand. RT is definitely one of them.”
RT Spanish has become the first foreign channel to broadcast within the framework of Argentine’s program of digital TV development – Television Digital Terrestre (TDA). The agreement to launch RT’s Spanish-language channel was reached during the talks between Putin and Kirchner, which took place in July this year.

In 2014 RT Spanish was unanimously called 'Best TV channel', 'Best information system' and 'Best multimedia platform' by the Mexican Press Club in the National and International Journalism Contest, one of the most prestigious and popular Latin American journalistic awards.
RT Spanish operates on more than 600 cable networks in Spain and Latin America.
What’s a “RT”?
Why?
RT.com
Why not? South America is providing Russia with all its produce now, instead of Europe.
Russia Today.
Wetphoenix is a Putin.... servicer. If you get my drift.
OMG. What does your allegations has to do with this news?
As we are facing a military threat from your Army as it invades Europe, it does make a difference that you are in that Army and just signed up here to push Russian propaganda on this conservative political site.
It isn’t like we can have someone from the enemy army posting propaganda on our home site, and just pretend that he is one of us.
Ok...thanks
What makes this news propaganda? Do you know a definition of propaganda? It certainly seems you aren’t.
I hope a bit of education is not insulting:
‘Propaganda=chiefly derogatory Information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.’
What exactly makes my post biased or misleading or derogatory?
What political cause is promoted my letting people know this news?
It simply seems to me that some people refuse to follow the very principles they are claiming to stand for and everything they don’t like to hear and prefer to ignore is an enemy propaganda.

You could at least bring new arguments, ansel.
And don’t you think ‘enemy’ is a bit over edge?
