Abstract: The paper, using the Komi ASSR as an example, reconstructs the initial period of television development in the Soviet Union – an industry which creation in the late 1950s–early 1960s of the XX century was inextricably linked with the activities of regional town studios. Television centers were built in the most developed and populated towns of the regions: in the Komi Republic, these are the mining town of Vorkuta, the town of oil and gas workers Ukhta and the capital Syktyvkar. The Vorkuta, Ukhta and Syktyvkar television studios, working autonomously, prepared programs that covered all aspects of socio-political, socio-economic and cultural life. Television was becoming not only an effective propaganda tool and an effective means of information, but also an essential element of leisure and lifestyle.
