Programming
RT International English-language channel and RT America have similar programming with the latter covering more news from the United States. RT Arabic and Actualidad RT in Spanish feature their own news presenters, as well as translated versions of RT's English programming.
Marcin Maczka writes that RT's ample financing has allowed RT to attract experienced journalists and use the latest technology. RT anchors and correspondents tend to concentrate on controversial world issues such as the financial instability and fiscal crises, financial and banking scandals, corporate impact on the global economy, and demonstrations of protesters. News from Russia is of secondary importance and such reports emphasize Russian modernisation and economic achievements, as well as Russian culture and natural landscapes, while downplaying Russia's social problems or corruption.
RT’s current feature programs include (with presenters parenthesised):
- Breaking the set (Abby Martin);
- CrossTalk and On the Money (Peter Lavelle);
- Interview with Sophie (Sophie Shevardnadze);
- Keiser Report (Max Keiser with Stacy Herbert);
- Prime Time Russia News;
- Spotlight (Al Gurnov);
- Technology Update (Brandon Rice);
- The Big Picture (Thom Hartmann);
- The Truth Seeker (Daniel Bushell)
- Why You Should Care (Tim Kirby)

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
