But on December 30, 2020, an agreement on cooperation in the field of mass telecommunications was signed between the governments of Armenia and Russia, and three slots in the public multiplex were allocated to Russian TV channels: &#8220;\u0420\u0422\u0420-\u041f\u043b\u0430\u043d\u0435\u0442\u0430&#8221; will be broadcast throughout Armenia, and &#8220;\u0420\u043e\u0441\u0441\u0438\u044f-\u041a\u0443\u043b\u044c\u0442\u0443\u0440\u0430&#8221; and the &#8220;\u041f\u0435\u0440\u0432\u044b\u0439 \u043a\u0430\u043d\u0430\u043b. \u0412\u0441\u0435\u043c\u0438\u0440\u043d\u0430\u044f \u0421\u0435\u0442\u044c&#8221; in Yerevan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thus the number of slots decreased.\u00a0 Public Television of Armenia will also receive a nationwide slot without a competition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CTR has not yet announced its final decision, but according to ratings, Public, Armenia, Yerkir Media, Shant, A-TV and Kentron will be broadcast throughout Armenia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In general, two TV companies were left out of the competition, which claimed exclusively for national broadcasting slots and did not imagine that they could be broadcast only in Yerevan.
