According to the watchdog, an inspection of British Television's compliance with licensing and mandatory requirements in the field of television and radio broadcasting will be conducted in the period from 14 January to 31 January this year.
The statement comes after Roskomnadzor said on 21 December it had started the checks to verify the compliance by the BBC World News, as well as BBC Internet resources, with the Russian law.
