The article presents the results of the analysis the official community of TV channel “Russia C” in such social net-works as Facebook, “VKontakte”, “Classmates” and Instagram. These materials published between January 13 and 19 in 2020. The analysis was carried out according to such criteria as the number of posts, coverage, audience reaction (expressed in likes and comments), the nature of communication with the audience, the type of content (broadcast products, materials from the site, unique content), the form of submission of the material (text, video). As a result, official communities have their own unique face and do not repeat the on-air and online versions of the channel.
