365 Days TV is a Russian television channel focused on history and documentary programming.
Last updated August 26, 2026
Overview
365 Days TV, also known by its Russian name 365 дней ТВ, is a Russian thematic television channel devoted primarily to history, historical documentaries, and related educational programming. The channel is positioned as a specialist history broadcaster rather than a general-interest network, and has been described as the first Russian television channel dedicated specifically to history. Its programming format places historical subjects, documentary storytelling, cultural education, and factual television at the center of the brand. The channel is owned by Red Media, a Russian television group associated with a portfolio of thematic and specialty channels. Within that portfolio, 365 Days TV serves an education and documentary-oriented role, offering a dedicated destination for viewers interested in historical events, personalities, civilizations, military history, culture, and other factual subjects. The available reference material does not provide a confirmed launch date, founder, headquarters address, ownership history beyond Red Media, or detailed information about the channel's programming schedule, distribution footprint, or audience metrics. A major part of the channel's public profile has come from industry recognition. It won the Hot Bird TV Awards three times: in 2006 in the category for the best dynamically developing channel, in 2008 in the culture and education category, and in 2010 as the best documentary television channel. These awards indicate that the channel was recognized both for its development as a specialist broadcaster and for the cultural, educational, and documentary character of its output. 365 Days TV has also been distributed through the NTV-Plus platform, where it was included in the basic package. This carriage placed the channel within a major Russian pay-television distribution system and made its specialist content available to subscribers alongside other television services. The supplied sources do not establish whether that carriage arrangement remains unchanged, and no current distribution list is available here. The brand's public-facing identity is therefore built around historical programming, documentary credibility, and educational value. It should be distinguished from similarly named entertainment or media properties: the authoritative subject for this entry is the Russian history television channel identified as 365 Days TV. Current operational details, including its present schedule, ownership structure below Red Media, and ongoing availability, require verification from up-to-date channel or corporate sources.
History
365 Days TV is a Russian specialist television channel centered on history and documentary programming. Its Russian-language name is 365 дней ТВ. The channel's stated editorial identity is distinct from that of a general entertainment broadcaster: it is designed as a dedicated outlet for historical subjects and factual education. It has been characterized as the first Russian history television channel, a description that highlights its niche positioning within the country's television market. The available reference material does not document the channel's exact founding date, original management, launch circumstances, or early distribution strategy. It does establish that the channel operated under the ownership of Red Media, a Russian television group with a portfolio of thematic networks. Red Media's ownership gave 365 Days TV an institutional base within the Russian specialty-channel sector, while the channel itself provided a focused home for historical and documentary content. The channel gained international industry visibility through the Hot Bird TV Awards. In 2006 it received an award for the best dynamically developing channel. This recognition suggests that the channel was viewed as a notable and growing specialist service at that stage of its development. In 2008 it won in the culture and education category, reinforcing the connection between its editorial output and educational television. In 2010 it was recognized as the best documentary television channel, marking a further acknowledgment of its factual and documentary orientation. Taken together, the three awards form the clearest documented sequence of milestones in the channel's public history. Distribution was also an important part of the brand's development. 365 Days TV was included in the basic package of NTV-Plus, a Russian pay-television platform. Basic-package carriage generally gives a thematic channel broader household reach than a narrowly premium placement, although the supplied sources do not provide subscriber figures or the dates of the carriage agreement. The current status of this distribution arrangement is not confirmed by the available material. The channel's programming is described broadly as historical and documentary television. The reference material does not identify specific long-running series, presenters, production partners, or content libraries, so no individual program brands are listed here. Its documented product is best understood as the channel service itself and the associated stream of history, culture, education, and documentary programs. The supplied sources also do not report scandals, lawsuits, major acquisitions, leadership changes, financial results, or other corporate controversies involving 365 Days TV. The official website and a Russian-language YouTube presence are cited as external points of reference, but current operational information should be checked directly because the available encyclopedia material is limited. Accordingly, the channel's historical identity and award record are reasonably clear, while its present ownership details, management, schedule, and distribution require further review.
