Телеканал Дождь is not primarily a musical artist or band but a Russian independent television channel known for news, cultural and political programming; its name (meaning "Channel Rain") occasionally appears in cultural sources in contexts such as curated musical broadcasts, collaborations or sponsorship of arts events rather than as a performing musical act. Founded in Moscow in the late 2000s, the channel gained attention for alternative and independent editorial perspectives within Russia’s media landscape. While it has featured a wide range of music on air and online — from contemporary Russian indie and electronic artists to international alternative music — it functions as a broadcaster and cultural curator rather than a distinct musical group, with programming choices reflecting diverse genres and a focus on contemporary urban culture.
