Poland Launches Belarus TV Station

[Jaga]

Poland has launched a new television station aimed at Belarus that it says will broadcast independent news and other programming to its eastern neighbor.

The new Warsaw-based Belsat TV channel is funded by the Polish government and will be available to those Belarusians with access to a satellite receiver - about one-tenth of the population.

Belsat's programming will be prepared by journalists working in both countries. The station will initially broadcast three hours a day but plans to eventually increase that to 16 hours.

Don't worry... since Poland will be hosting missiles from the U.S., Russia will be putting its missiles in Belarus aimed at Poland.

This should be a good move in providing as a public service to Belarus. It is a mystery to what ever objection should arise from Mr. Lukashenko.

It sounds of a good start with initial limited broadcast hours, perhaps in short time and increased funding, the broad cast hours will be extended. And, to provide choices for people.
