3+ Latvia is a television channel owned by the Modern Times Group broadcasting to the Russian language minority in Latvia from the United Kingdom. It was launched in early 2003.[1]

Its programming consists of simulcasts of Russian entertainment shows, and benefits from MTG's ownership in STS Media and Peretz.

Latvia has a large Russian-speaking minority and as terrestrial broadcasting in Russia restricted, there has been a large growth in cable television where Russian channels are broadcast. 3+ is the second most popular Russian channel in Latvia with a viewing share of 5,2 percent in May 2007, ahead of REN TV Baltic, but after the dominating First Baltic Channel.[2]
