NTV Plus (Russia)

Russian telecommunications company Akado has added the NTV Plus HD and NTV Plus Tennis pay-television broadcasters to its pay-television service.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a bill which will introduce a law banning advertising on pay-television broadcasters, a development which could have implications for the sports rights market in the country.

A proposed Russian ban on advertising on pay-television broadcasters would have dire consequences for NTV Plus’s coverage of football’s Uefa Champions League, according to the broadcaster’s commentator, Michael Mossakovskii.
