The First Transnistrian or First Pridnestrovian (Romanian: Primul Transnistrean; Russian: Первый Приднестровский, romanized: Pervyy Pridnestrovskiy), also known as TV PMR, is a public television channel from Transnistria, an unrecognized republic internationally recognized as part of Moldova. It began broadcasting on 9 August 1992 and is available in the Romanian, Russian and Ukrainian languages.[1] It was established by the Government of Transnistria and the Supreme Council to replace Moldovan media that allegedly spread "distorted facts" and "blocked the transmission of reliable information about events in the region".[2]
