"With the help of the Internet channel, we will be able to show the broadcasts and programs outside the broadcast schedule of the TV channel Belarus 5.

The new channel will significantly expand spectators' choice of competitions. If competitions are held simultaneously, both broadcasts will be shown live for the convenience of the fans, and everyone will choose what to watch," says director of the TV channel Belarus 5 Pavel Bulatsky.

In many respects this depends on the taste of each viewer, for example, musical preferences are also different for everyone: someone listens to Pugacheva, and someone - to Basta, so, meeting the wishes of our viewers, Belarus 5. Internet will broadcast only with intersound, without comments," Bulatsky said.

Mutual promotion will allow viewers to find out about the nearest broadcasts of the Internet channel on air of Belarus 5, and about the competitions on the TV channel - with the help of Belarus 5. Internet.

"Earlier we became the first sports channel, and now we want to be the first company to launch such a project. At first our channel will duplicate some of Belarus 5 broadcasts, but in due course an original broadcasting grid will be developed. It will be available on the Internet in HD format and will be an additional advertising platform for various companies," added Pavel Bulatsky.

On October 23, the TV channel Belarus 5 turns 5 years old, but before the channel begins to receive congratulations, it decided to make a present to all sports fans.
