RT’s Spanish channel and pan-Latin American network TeleSUR in Venezuela launched a new joint project on Monday, aimed at providing a different perspective to Western mainstream media.
Titled “Venezuela and Russia. At gunpoint” (“Venezuela y
Rusia en la mira” in Spanish), the project will feature a series
of programs about the two countries and other international news
relating to them. Broadcast as a telebridge, the format of the
show will enable discussions between the studios on the two
continents.

Hosts in both Moscow and Caracas studios will be joined live by
experts from Latin America and Europe, to discuss news issues
concerning both Russia and Venezuela. US sanctions and joint
efforts at creating a multipolar world are expected to be some of
the program’s hot topics.

“Within our cooperation with TeleSUR we’ve united our efforts
towards fighting mainstream media and their way of lopsided
coverage of events in our countries,” RT’s Spanish channel
head Viktoriya Vorontsova said, adding that the project will
“provide a ground for alternative views on US foreign
policies.”

content, including correspondents’ broadcasts during breaking
news coverage.
RT’s Spanish channel has already been widely present on TV
screens across Venezuela. It joined the country’s state TV
network TDA last year, and has also launched its broadcasting
there as part of one of the world’s largest satellite service
providers DIRECTV.
