Ivan Eismont, the chairman of the state-run Belteleradiocompany, reported on February 7, that foreign viewers have a great interest in the news of TV channel 1 from Belarusian television.
“Today we work in many foreign languages: Polish, and English. We even translate into Spanish and German. Of course, it's popular. Let's say Polish-language content. The widest viewing geography throughout Poland. Tens and sometimes hundreds of thousands of views of the content that we produce throughout the day. And of course, who will like it?” he said on the air of Radio Alfa.
On the YouTube channel of the Television News Agency, news stories with foreign translations usually get from five hundred to five thousand views.
