Great Czech Television Resource; anything comparable for other Slavic Languages?

[Danko Sipka]

Forgot about this for Polish:

http://atvn.pl/index_sub_page.php?atvn=archiwum/index&title=ARCHIWUM

The site contains popular science shows.

> Russian:

> State TV: http://www.1tv.ru and http://www.vesti.ru (only shorter clips)

> Slovene:

> Polish:

> BCS
> http://www.rts.co.yu/emisije.asp (archive, various shows)

> I wanted to let everyone know about the truly excellent archived

> quality streaming web video I've seen, period. It's equal to what you
> see for downloadable movie trailers. The only drawback is that you
> can only watch the content as live streaming video over Real Player
> or Windows Media Player, which makes it difficult to pause and rewind
> easily or to go to a specific segment (but it's not impossible).

> The site features a full archive of around 67(!) television shows for
> the past three months, featuring everything from game shows to
> fishing programs to cooking shows to shows for the hearing impaired
> with sign language and subtitles. I've particularly found the David
> Letterman/Jay Leno clone talk show, Uvolněte se, prosím, to be very
> useful and also a game show, A-Z Kvíz (for grown ups) and A-Z Kvíz
> Junior (for kids; and yes, we usually watch the kid version). There
> are so many shows available that we haven't managed to even check out
> all the options this quarter. The talk show is also great for seeing
> all kinds of spoken Czech varieties as well as Slovak (one we watched
> today was the Prague-speaking Czech host interviewing a Slovak TV
> personality; we've also seen some Moravian as well).

> Does anyone know of any other comparable sites for other Slavic
> languages, particularly Russian, Polish, BCS? Again, this is very
> high quality video in great quantity as well, all available free and
> on demand. I've not seen anything like it elsewhere, but hopefully
> this is the wave of the future for great resources for language
> teaching.
