CTC Media, Inc., a Delaware corporation, operates the CTC, Domashny and Peretz television channels in Russia and Channel 31 in Kazakhstan. Historically, there were eight reportable segments: CTC Network, Domashny Network, Peretz Network, CTC Television Station Group, Domashny Television Station Group, Peretz Television Station Group, CIS Group and Production Group. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company changed its reportable segments in the way it reorganized reporting financial information to make operating decisions. Following the reorganization of reporting financial information, the Company's management and board of directors ("BOD") evaluate and manage performance of the Group and make operating decisions based primarily on its three Russia-based television channels (CTC, Domashny, and Peretz) and Channel 31 in Kazakhstan. Each channel includes operating results of its network which is responsible for broadcasting operations, including sales of its networks' advertising, licensing and commissioning of programming, producing its programming schedule, managing its relationships with its independent affiliates, and the respective stations that distribute the network's signal. Each channel is also allocated the internal margin on programming acquired from the Company's in-house production unit. The Company's other less significant operating segments are included along with the Company's headquarters' operations in the "All Other" category for financial reporting purposes.         The Company generates substantially all of its revenues from the sale of television advertising on both a national and regional basis. The Company also generates revenues from the sublicensing of programming rights and licensing of internally-produced programming to third parties. </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for the nature of an entity's business, the major products or services it sells or provides and its principal markets, including the locations of those markets.
