History
It began broadcasting on February 14, 1956 . Initially broadcast only in the evening in Moscow and the Moscow Region . In the 1960s and 1970s, broadcast coverage was expanded.
The second program of Central Television was designed for an audience consisting of spectators from Moscow and the Moscow Region. However, the further development of technical means of transporting program II transmissions, the inclusion of new areas of the RSFSR, as well as Belarus, Latvia and Lithuania, raises a new question about the nature of broadcasting under this program.
