NVK Sakha Live Stream

NVK Sakha (Национальная вещательная компания «Саха») is the national broadcasting company of the Sakha Republic, known as Yakutia, working from Yakutsk. The republic is the largest region in Russia, stretching from the Central Siberian plateau to the Arctic Ocean.

Russian and Sakha

The company broadcasts in Russian and in Sakha, the Turkic language of the republic's titular people. Its television grid covers the republic's politics, economy and culture, and its programmes carry the identity of a people with their own language, traditions and territory.

Television, radio and a news site

NVK Sakha runs a full media house: television, radio and the nvk-online.ru news site, covering a territory of continental scale from its Yakutsk base. Distances of that size make broadcasting a practical necessity rather than an amenity, since many settlements have no other link to the capital.

Preserving language and culture

The company's stated purpose is to preserve the national identity, languages and way of life of the peoples of Sakha, which include Yakuts, Evenks, Evens, Dolgans and Yukagirs. Some of those languages have only a few thousand speakers, and broadcasting is one of the few places where they are used publicly.

A member of the national association

Since 2010 the company has been a member of the National Association of TV and Radio Broadcasters of Russia, the body that represents regional stations in dealings with the federal authorities and with cable operators.
