Our partnership entailed rebuilding the Samsung and LG Smart TV applications for Current Time. All this with an important objective – to serve their growing audience with high-quality independent journalism in an engaging form.
The Partner
Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty is a media organization funded by the US government to supplement free media in unfree societies. With a weekly audience of 33 million reaching out to 22 countries, RFE/RL plays an important role in promoting democracy and objective news reporting worldwide.
The Mission
In 2014, RFE/RL and Voice of America launched Current Time (“Настоящее Время”) a 24-hour Russian-language television and digital news network aimed at audiences in Russia, Central and Eastern Europe, as well as the rest of the world.
The rising demand for HD video content and the prominence of Samsung and LG TV users in the area of interest made a modern and appealing SmartTV application a necessity to fulfill this mission.
