ETV+ goes on summer schedule: World Cup football reshapes broadcasting lineup

Starting 1 June, ETV+ switches to its summer programming schedule. Live broadcasts of the FIFA World Cup will bring changes to the channel's regular schedule, affecting among other things the traditional air time of "Aktuaalne kaamera".

ETV+ is making significant changes to its programming schedule starting 1 June, switching to a summer broadcasting plan. The channel's viewers will face new programme times and the regular daily schedule will be partially reorganised.

The primary driver of these changes is the live broadcasting of the FIFA World Cup, which directly impacts how the channel structures its daily schedule. The changes affect particularly the news programme "Aktuaalne kaamera", which currently airs at 8 p.m., and its regular broadcast time will shift due to World Cup live coverage.

ETV+ is a Russian-language Estonian public broadcaster that offers content primarily to the Russian-speaking audience living in Estonia. Changes to the summer programming schedule are standard practice for the channel, but this time the coverage of an international sporting event adds weight to the special programming.
