WMNB® is the leading Russian-language radio and television network in North America. Its subscriber base has grown tremendously and the reason is simple: the Russian émigré needs us. A recent report, released by the US Immigration and Naturalization Service, cited that there were more people emigrating from the former Soviet Union to America than from any other country. And the growth of this market segment is expected to continue. In just a few short years, WMNB has become one of the fastest growing ethnic networks providing radio and television service to the New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Hartford, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Dallas and Cleveland markets. WMNB delivers a diverse mix of Russian language programming, which is designed to appeal to all age groups and interests. We control the quality of this programming by deriving it from only two sources: producing it ourselves or acquiring it from the former Soviet Union. This process guarantees exciting options for listeners and viewers that are timely and relevant. More than 240,000 Russian-speaking Americans already have access to WMNB programming through Ku-band satellite and several cable systems, and now America's 1.6 million Russian speakers are now able to receive 24-hour satellite-delivered digital quality programming in their native language. WMNB subscribers can expect continuous international and regional news updates, Russian films and movies, talk shows, entertainment and music, children's and sports programs, as well as translations of popular U.S. programs like "CNN Headline News." We also feature educational programming that helps immigrants adjust to American life, covering such topics as opening a bank account, obtaining a credit line and learning English. WMNB provides the maximum choice of Russian-language programming available. WMNB has become the bridge to the culture and country émigrés have left behind, and acts as a vital information link to the new communities in which they live. It is exciting to be in America, but it helps to have information sources in your own language and familiar sights and sounds you enjoyed at home.
