[11][12] Boris Vishnyak was appointed as the TV Centre's general director,[13] Stanislav Arkhipov became the channel's producer.

[23][24] At the same time, Russian Minister of Press and Mass Media, Mikhail Lesin, announced a tender for TVC's TV frequencies, which the channel eventually won.

It was stated that the new channel was served as an unofficial intermediary for transmitting TVC's programs to Russian expatriate, residing in Europe, Asia, and North Africa.

The switch happened three years later, in February 2020, and Rostelecom was the digital provider to transmit TV Centre in an HD quality.
