OREANDA-NEWS Paramount has suspended broadcasting on the territory of Russia of its Nickelodeon, Paramount Channel, Paramount Comedy, as well as MTV. According to Interfax, the broadcasting of channels has stopped for Beeline and Rostelecom users. Instead of them, there is now a message about the temporary suspension of the broadcast «for reasons beyond our control».

Earlier it was reported that notifications about the termination of broadcasting of Paramount TV channels began to arrive to local television operators, starting from April 18. It was reported that the company will stop broadcasting in Russia from April 20. In turn, Russian presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky said that Russian TV channels should reconsider their policy regarding broadcast content and reduce the number of entertainment programs on the air against the background of the changed situation in the world. According to him, a good option would be to show domestic or foreign films instead.

Prior to that, the American film studio A24 suspended the rental of its paintings in Russia. It is noted that the last film of the studio in the Russian box office was the sci-fi black comedy Everything Everywhere All at Once, which premiered on April 7.
