ORT Balt / ОРТ БАЛТ is the baltic version of the national russian tv station ORT (now Perwy Kanal / Первый канал) which was broadcasted via 1° West Intelsat 707 satellite. This version was completely identical with the main version broadcasted for Russia. The only exception was, they showed own advertisements mostly for Estonia. As there were no adverts booked for the Estonian region they showed the "заказ рекламы" (order advertisement) screen, while in the background you can see the Russian advertising blurred from the main program.

They used to play songs like the Twin Peaks theme or from Vangelis.
