TNT (Means: Your New Television. Russian: ТНТ, Твоё Новое Телевидение, Tvoyo Novoye Televideniye, or Television of new Millennium (Russian: ТНТ, Телевидение нового тысячелетия, Televideniye Novogo Tisyachelyetiya)) is a Russian federal TV channel, considered to be one of the five most popular TV channels in Russia. In the beginning of 2012, its potential audience reached the number of more than 104 million people.

The target audience of the channel is made of viewers from 14 to 44 years old, but actually its core is mostly youngsters, of 18 to 30 years old. The channel has an entertaining focus, as it specializes mostly on TV shows and comedy series.

The TNT channel was founded in 1997. Since 2001, it has been member of the Gazprom-Media Holding, the flagship TV channel of the sub-holding Gazprom-Media Entertainment TV, founded in 2015.

The TNT business model is a television network, its main source of income is advertisement. The TV signal passes through a system of the TNT’s regional TV stations as well as to the company’s regional partners. Those, in turn, get part of the advertising time within the framework of the content provided by the TNT. The TNT channel delivers its signal via a number of satellites staying in four different orbits, which allows its 27 television stations and more than 350 TNT’s subdivisions to get it in the corresponding time zones. The TNT signal is then received and further redistributed by the local network stations broadcasting to most of the big cities as well as 5,900 smaller communities of the Russian Federation.

TNT reserves 100% of authors’ rights to all of its original shows and owns two of the largest producer companies in the country: which are the Comedy Club Production and the Good Story Media, and has exclusive contracts with a number of leading Russian showrunners.

Since 2016, TNT-TeleNet JSC is directed by Artur Janibekyan, head of the sub-holding Gazprom-Media Entertainment TV.

TNT TV channel was founded in September 1997 as part of the Media-Most holding. The general director of the new channel became Sergei Skvortsov, invited by the First Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of the holding Igor Malashenko, who, together with his deputy Pavel Korchagin, and the rest of the team, a year before managed to launch the first Russian non-state television network - STS. The new channel was also initially founded as a network, focusing primarily on the interests of the regional viewers.
