"We have channels that specialize in melodramas, channels that show a lot of detective stories, REN TV shows a lot of action movies and also a lot of scientific and educational content. And from this point of view, we are not limited by any genre that we want to produce. We want to produce a full range of content, and we produce a full range of content for all viewers in our country and even abroad," said Svetlana Balanova, CEO of the National Media Group.
