Having a computer or an internet ready television set enables viewers to see what they want, when they want to see it. Becoming part of the European Broadcasting Union in 2005 brought about many changes and improvements for Armenian Public Television. Armenia gained the ability and right to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest, a vastly popular event for over fifty years. Now all programming is or in process of being translated into Armenian for all of the viewing audience.
