DIT Mission to World Content Market in Russia

With 74% of  the country’s vast 149 million population watching national TV channels regularly and 59% watching regional channels, Russia is one of the largest consumers of TV content in the world. To meet this demand, 2300+ channels operate in the market offering a variety of content. Emerging new digital broadcasting platforms are also gaining popularity in Russia which opens further opportunities for international companies to sell their content.

The most popular TV formats on Russian television are TV series, movies and entertainment programmes.

The World Content Market

The World Content Market is the largest industry trade show in Russia and is attended by 1200+ delegates representing 574 companies from 40 countries. Forty percent of delegates represent TV Channels and video platforms.
