[edit] Article is incomplete by far

In particular, Programing section despirately needs expansion. Just one example: an information on everyday's educational programs should be included, which were complete and various enough to be almost full substitution of secondary school subjects for children, who were ill.

[edit] Ahem

This article is poorly written. Sad since Soviet television is a very interesting subject. --TonyM ^{ｷﾀ━( °∀° )━ｯ!!} 12:58, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Time-shifting

The Time-shifting and "Double Program" Time-shifting part is a little confusing, I'm not sure I understand how it works. Could someone that understands these concepts elaborate a little more, and maybe give some examples. 76.214.97.52 02:59, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi 76.214.97.52 - I am the original writer of this article. I know that that section is a bit confusing - trying to look through back issues of WRTH to understand it made me baffled as well. However, this is how I remember it. There were two different ways that the Soviet Union used to time-shift programmes. The first was the "Double program" system. This is a composite system, thus allowing multiple programmes to be transmitted on a single channel. Thus, for example, the 2nd Programme would air for a certain period of time. Once that was done, then the Moscow Programme would air, and so on. The other one was the "TV Orbita" system, which was based off of the time-shifting used for the All-Union First Programme used for domestic radio. There is more in this this section of the "Broadcasting in the Soviet Union" article". --Daniel Blanchette (talk) 01:58, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
