The network RT En Español launched a broadcast on an open TV, 24-hour channel in the US. RT is available in digital format on the 21.11 channel of the Televiva television station in the state of Texas.
On the Televiva platform, the channel reaches more than 2.4 million homes in Houston, the biggest city in Texas, as well as Galveston and Pasadena.
“Our channel is watched and appreciated in Latin America. The RT audience in the region almost tripled in two years. Not long ago, we extended the agreement to air on the stated television network in Argentina. Now, Spanish-speaking viewers in the US can count with an alternative vision on world events that offer RT,” said Victoria Vorontsova, director of RT En Español.
In December 2018 the Directors of RT and authorities of Argentina signed an agreement on the extension of the airing of RT En Español on the state television network TDA (Television Digital Abierta).
According to a study by the international company Ipsos, the weekly audience of RT in Latin America almost tripled in the last two years: 18 million people watch the signal each week in 10 countries in the region.
The channel RT En Español was launched in December 2009.
