A question, this Belsat TV channel? Does it still close down every night?

Belsat is a TV channel owned by TVP and the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and co-funded by partners like the BBC World Service, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, DW-TV, Thomson Reuters, the US State Department, the UK and Irish Governments, the European Endowment for Democracy, the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, and the foreign ministries of Norway, the Netherlands, Canada and Lithuania. It serves as an independent satellite TV channel targeted specifically to Belarus (but available in most of Eastern Europe). It was the brainchild of veteran TVP executive and journalist Agnieszka Romaszewska-Guzy, in response to a demand by Belarussian democratic circles for a media outlet not subject to state censorship. It airs for 19 hours a day in Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian languages, broadcasting out of TVP's Warsaw HQ and TVP3's regional office in Białystok. Lukashenko's regime has declared Belsat as "extremist" and is subject to a broadcast ban in that country.

Here's a Wikipedia article on the channel:
