Argentina Announces Suspension Of Russia's RT TV Broadcasts

Argentine authorities announced on June 11 that they are suspending the broadcast of Russia's news channel RT, effective in 60 days.

RT's 24-hour newscasts in Spanish in Argentina began in October 2014 with considerable fanfare, launched with a joint televised linkup between Russian President Vladimir Putin and then-Argentinian President Cristina Kirchner.

Argentina's agreement to include RT in Argentina's government-run television lineup was the first instance of a foreign broadcaster getting such an opportunity. The channel is available to more than 80 percent of Argentina's population.
