After an initial launch on the Internet earlier this month, the Georgian Public Broadcaster’s Russian-language TV channel, First Caucasian, is now available on satellite. The new TV channel, which in Georgia also goes out on cable, has triggered first reaction from Russia with senior official describing the channel as part of Georgia’s “anti-Russian propaganda” and an attempt “to plant ideology of extremism” in North Caucasus. Apart of coverage of current events in Georgia, the TV channel provides news from Russia and its North Caucasus republics.
