History

The ETV+ name was chosen out of 360 submissions in a competition to find a name for the new channel. According to ETV+ chief Darja Saar, the plus part of the name stems from the Russian words: 'п - популярное', 'лю - любимое' and 'с - своё' meaning 'popular', 'beloved' and 'ours' which together spell plus".[3]

From 2015 to 2018, Darja Saar was the chief editor of the channel.[4] From 2019, the editor-in-chief is Ekaterina Taklaja.[5]

Ratings

In 2018, the channel was in penultimate place among the Russian-language networks available in Estonia, above STS, with an estimated ratings share of 1%.[6]
