Google blocks NTV YouTube channels across Europe, NTV invites viewers to watch online

MOSCOW. March 2 (Interfax) - The NTV television channel has invited its European viewers to watch its programs on its website and use VPN to bypass the channels' block by YouTube, the NTV press service said.

"So, NTV's YouTube channels are no longer available to residents of other countries. The blacklist now contains over 70 states, including the whole of Europe," it said.

"Nobody has any illusions: the complete disablement of our channels is a matter of time. However, as is well known, what once appears on the Internet remains there forever. May the website, the apps, and VPN help you. Waiting for you on the bright side of the Internet,"

NTV said it has been developing its YouTube accounts for 14 years.

"Google has been quite happy and never stinted on its silver, gold, and diamond play buttons, and it's made some money on it, too," it said.
