The All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (Russian: Всероссийская государственная телевизионная и радиовещательная компания, romanized: Vserossiyskaya gosudarstvennaya televizionnaya i radioveshchatelnaya kompaniya; VGTRK, Russian: ВГТРК) or Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Company,^[2] also known as Russian Television and Radio (Russian: Россия. Телевидение и радио, romanized: Rossiya. Televideniye i radio), is a national state-owned broadcaster which operates many television and radio channels in 53 of Russia's languages.^[3] The company was founded in 1990 and is based in Moscow.^[4]

The broadcasting of the All-Russia TV and radio channels is located in Moscow, and also via the regional transmitting centres of the Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network forming the terrestrial transmitting network. TV and radio channels from Moscow are delivered to the regions via satellite and terrestrial communication channels.

During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the broadcaster has been accused of spreading propaganda and disinformation, while also inciting discord and hate.^[5][6] Unlike RT, it was mostly produced for internal consumption. In 2017, one of its channels, RTR Planeta, was banned in Lithuania.^[7]
