At least in the UK, you used to be able to watch RT on broadcast. Now only the Internet version is accessible, and I think some ISPs DNS block them. Granted, a DNS block is easy to circumvent if you understand it, but most users will still be cut off.
- Scoundreller 2y agoAs a total outlier, RT was paying the cable/sat systems to be carried in US/Canada, instead of the other way around. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/rts-purchase-of-canadian-carriage-would-be-a-non-issue-if-not-for-the-secrecy/article37869704/ https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/rts-purchase-of-cana... https://www.wsj.com/articles/rt-channels-unique-carriage-deals-make-it-difficult-to-drop-in-u-s-1485361056 https://www.wsj.com/articles/rt-channels-unique-carriage-dea... I wonder if other countries were the same.

- cassianoleal 2y agoI used to watch it on Freeview, picked up via a regular antenna if that's what you mean by "terrestrially".
