Overview
8 Kanal International (branded on air as «8 канал» and reachable at 8tv.info) is a Russian-language television channel brand. Its official website presents a full daily broadcast schedule running around the clock, with a mix of news and current-affairs programming, talk and interview formats, detective and drama series, health and fitness segments, travel shows and entertainment. The channel positions itself as an international broadcaster («Международное вещание»), suggesting distribution aimed at Russian-speaking audiences beyond a single domestic market. The programming line-up visible on the homepage includes recurring titles such as «Место происшествия» (a project about legendary rescue operations and survival stories), «Доктор знает!» (a health and fitness programme), «Калейдоскоп» (interviews with people from various professions and creative fields), «Мужской разговор» (interviews with actors, musicians, artists and businesspeople), «Пионерское шоу», «Сенсация или провокация?», «Врача вызывали», «Ген предпринимателя», «#8курсе», «Открытый разговор», «Уже Еду», «В своей тарелке», «Фитнес-зарядка» and «#Турселфисозвездой» (a travel programme hosted by musicians, artists and bloggers). The schedule also carries the detective series «Важняк» and the drama series «Сёстры Вильямисар». The brand operates as a media/entertainment offering in the communication-services sector. Public evidence available for this dossier is limited to the channel's own homepage and a Wikidata identifier; ownership, corporate structure, founding date and headquarters are not established by the supplied evidence and are therefore left unspecified rather than guessed.
History
The available evidence does not establish a founding date, ownership history or corporate milestones for 8 Kanal International. What can be documented is its present-day operation as a Russian-language television channel brand: its official website, 8tv.info, is titled «8 канал — Международное вещание» (8 Kanal — International Broadcasting) and publishes a full daily programme schedule alongside a catalogue of channel projects. The schedule shown on the homepage runs across the full 24 hours, with recurring blocks including «Место происшествия», «В своей тарелке», «Уже Еду», «Пионерское шоу», «Фитнес-зарядка», the series «Сёстры Вильямисар», «Сенсация или провокация?», «Врача вызывали», «Ген предпринимателя», «#8курсе», «Открытый разговор», «Доктор знает!», «Калейдоскоп» and «Мужской разговор». The channel's project catalogue describes these as «Передачи, интервью, познавательные и развлекательные форматы» (programmes, interviews, educational and entertainment formats), and includes the detective series «Важняк» and the travel programme «#Турселфисозвездой». A Wikidata item (Q140455586) exists for the subject, but the supplied evidence does not include statements from it that would allow dates, ownership or location to be stated. Accordingly, this dossier records the brand's identity and programming profile without asserting unverified corporate facts.
