[edit] Former Programing

Diema Extra (Диема Екстра)was a paid channel, airing PPV events mostly from English and Spanish Football Leagues. Later, most of these programs were moved to the other Diema channels, as few people signed up for the service, and advertising proved more profitable. In September 2007 Diema Extra was finally closed.
Alexandra TV (Александра ТВ) was a movie channel but in July 2006 it was replaced by Diema Family

[edit] The New Generation

In late August 22, 2007 it was annonced the the Diema channels will significantly change their schedules and their logos. The new visual style for all channels officially appeared on September 1 and the new programmes were available from September 3.^[1]
