Rambler TV (Russian: Рамблер ТВ) was a private television channel based in Russia which started on January 1, 2003.[1] The channel broadcast a specialty program consisting of documentaries, educational and entertainment programs of mostly western production.
Rambler TV's market share in Russia was very small. In a 2004 survey, only about 5% of respondents said they'd seen Rambler TV in the past week. Rambler TV was ranked 15th among Russian television stations.[2]
Rambler TV was initially part of the Rambler Media Group, which also operates the Rambler web search engine. In October 2006, the channel was sold to the media holding Prof-Media which belongs to Interros, of which the Russian entrepreneur and politician Vladimir Potanin is co-owner.[3]
On June 13, 2007, the station was closed due to low audience ratings.
