6. I found RTVi, which is different from RT, on our channel lineup.

I will contact Verizon to demand its removal anyway. Why should any Russian channel be allowed to broadcast in the U.S.?

I had to look it up in Wikipedia to find out what it was

Wikipedia:

RTVI (Russian Television International), more recently stylized as RTVi, is an international Russian-language privately owned television network. Its primary audiences are the Russian-speaking communities of Israel, Germany and the US. RTVI does not broadcast in Russia, but is available to the Russian audience online.

The channel studios are based in New York City, Tel Aviv, Berlin and Riga. Additional news bureaus of RTVi are located in Washington, D.C., London, Moscow, Kyiv, Tbilisi, Yerevan and Chisinau. The channel launched on 1 January 1997 as NTV International, before rebranding as RTVi in 2002.
