History
[edit]The TV company AOZT "Teleexpress-31-iy kanal" (Телеэкспресс — 31-й канал)[1] was founded in 1994,[2] in which it started broadcasting test transmissions for the channel of the same name that year. It was conceived by members of the Russian Filmmakers Guild to air non-American movies. One of the planned names was Седьмое небо (Seventh Heaven). The founders were the Main Center for Radio and Television[3] of the Ministry of Communications, the "Evrosib-Saint Petersburg" company (structure based on the October Railway, owned by the Russian Orthodox Church), as well as the "Studia raz, dva, tri" creative association (V. Sinelnikov) and several other secondary founders.[4]
The channel started broadcasting on February 13, 1995.[2]
In August 1998, GCRT sold its shares to the independent oil company Lukoil.[1]
On December 11, 1999, the channel was renamed M1. In line with this, the channel appointed a new general director: former TV6 executive director Sergey Moskvin.[5]
