NTV (Cyrillic: НТВ) is a Russian free-to-air television channel that was launched as a subsidiary of Vladimir Gusinsky's company Media-Most.[1][2] Since 14 April 2001 Gazprom Media controls the network. NTV[3] has no official meaning according to Igor Malashenko, the author of the name and co-founder of the company, but in the 1990s unofficial transcripts of the acronym include "New" (Novoje), "Independent" (Nezavisimoje), "Non-governmental" (Negosudarstvennoje), "Our" (Nashe).[4][5]

- ^ Игорь Малашенко: "НТВ не расшифровывается вообще никак. Когда-то я придумал эту аббревиатуру для нового телевидения, кто-то предложил расшифровать как "независимое", но все дружно заявили, что это безумно претенциозно. Предлагали другие варианты – "негосударственное", "наше", в результате твердо договорились не расшифровывать вообще никак..."
- ^ Mr. Malashenko is president-CEO of NTV, the Russian acronym for Independent Television, an apt name because NTV is the only non-state funded network in Russia providing a full range of programming from news to cartoons.
