History[edit | edit source]
Panorama was first transmitted on June 21, 1969. Until then, RTY had to rely on Soviet Central Television for most of its news output. Most programs came from the Alavian SSR and were broadcast in Russian, by 1965 there were already experimental news summaries in Yanikan.
Vremya was often transmitted live at the end of transmission, since all union television channels had to relay it, often live.
The first broadcast of Panorama ran for half an hour and the first report transmitted was that of a speech of Jemshe Äbi-Basha. Prior to the 1989 coup d'état, Panorama was mainly a diary of political events related to the leader. After that, and with the appearance of the nationwide commercial channel KBS, Panorama started to cover more "real" news.
