"Tsayg" TV (in translation from Armenian – time before sunrise) was established in 1991, in the second city of Armenia – historic Gyumri (license № 165 dated 20.01.2011, expiry date - 20.01.2021). As a result of devastating earthquake, the country’s economy was paralyzed, but "Tsayg" TV managed not only to survive, but also pass through a difficult road of development.
