On June 12 it will be five years since the creation of the Sport TV Channel. The main aim of creating the channel was to promote a healthy lifestyle, sports and Russia's achievements in sports.
The main criteria have been and remain the accessibility and quality of information products. I hope that very soon the Sport Channel will enter every home, every Russian family. Thanks to the Sport Channel all of us will celebrate the successes of our athletes and will feel proud of our country's achievements.
I congratulate the creative staff and all the sports fans on the anniversary of the Sport Television Channel."
