That time, Moscow - Open World held the exclusive rights to bring the programming of Russian terrestrial TV network TV Centre (ТВ Центр) outside Russia. However, due to a conflict between the partners, in summer 2005, TV Centre launched its own international version of the channel, TVCI (TV Centre International), intended for Russian Diasporas around the world.
