Brands - save, news services - do not merge. Parliament intervened in the structure of LSM Despite calls from experts and some employees of the Latvian Public Media (LSM) not to interfere in the work of the media, on Thursday, October 22, the Saeima enshrined in law what its structure should be: the news services of Latvian Television (LTV) and Latvian Radio (LR) cannot be merged. Also, the Public Electronic Media Law and its Management enshrines the preservation of the LTV and LR brands.
