I spoke with the Distribution department at Russia Today regarding broadcasting of Russia Today on Optus B3. He has had many enquiries from Australia and New Zealand as to the status of its broadcast on Optus B3 and is aware that many viewers cannot receive it on Thaicom 3 soon to be Thaicom 5. they are working on the issue and he stated that they were hopeful that it may return in the future. for what it's worth it may still be worth while sending an email to let them know we are still interested in its broadcast on Optus B3. email: []distribution@rttv.ru[/]
