MTK (3 TVK) was first transferred to the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company Ostankino, and from June 9, 1992, to JSC RMTRK Moscow.

[1] The morning-afternoon schedule, which was not subordinate to MTK, included reruns of feature films, cartoons, foreign-produced TV series, music videos, and programs of its own production.

Its simultaneous showing was offered to all-Russian central and decimeter broadcasters as a joint action only after the complete replacement of RGTRK Ostankino with ORT.

On October 3, 1993, the channel ended its broadcasting at 19:38 Moscow Time due to the armed siege of the Ostankino TV and radio company.

[7][8] In 1995, RMTRK "Moscow" bought the rights to show 220 episodes of Dynasty with Heather Locklear from Fox.

The quality of broadcasting and the programs shown also did not correspond to the level of contemporary Russian television at that time; one of the officials of the Moscow government of those years perceived “MTK” as “a pre-perestroika channel, which was one continuous commercial break minus the endless TV series”.
