History

Previously, Crimean Tatar TV channel ATR and radio station Meydan worked on the peninsula, which were deprived of their license by the new administration after the annexation of Crimea by Russia.[4] On August 10, 2015, Roskomnadzor registered the Millet TV channel and the radio station Vatan Sedasy.[5]
