National Ukrainian-language TV channel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1+1 Ukraine (Ukrainian:: 1+1 УкÑаÑна) is a Ukrainian television channel. It is part of the media conglomerate 1+1 Media, owned by Ihor Kolomoiskyi and Ihor Surkis. The channel was created as a back-up of the main 1+1 channel, which, until the end of the war, is relaying United News 24/7 disguised as 1+1 Marafon.
History
On December 15, 2022, the National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio Broadcasting reissued the license for the international channel 1+1 International, changing its name to 1+1 Ukraine.[1]
On December 22, the National Council issued a temporary permit for broadcasting 1+1 Ukraine during the period of martial law in Ukraine and broadcasting in the MX-2 multiplex of the DVB-T2 digital broadcast network for a period of one year.[2]
The TV channel started broadcasting on December 24.[3] The launch of the channel was affected by marketing issues, as the main 1+1 channel, the most valuable asset of the group, was affected by the broadcast of the United News marathon.[4]
On November 23, 2023, the channel entered a bidding contest to take part in the digital terrestrial (DVB-T2 standard) MX-2 multiplex under the legal entity ÐÑжн 1+1 (English: Vision 1+1).[5]
On January 1, 2024, the regulator changed the logo of the ТРР"СÑÑдÑÑ 1+1" entity for satellite broadcasting from 1+1 Ukraina to 1+1 Marafon. At the same time, 1+1 Ukraina changed its legal entity to ÐÑжн 1+1.[6]
On July 11, 2024, the channel won a license to operate on the MX-1 multiplex under the name "1+1 УкÑаÑна+". On August 8, the channel's logo associated with this license was changed to 1+1 УкÑаÑна (English: 1+1 Ukraine). The next day, it moved from MX-2 to MX-1.[7][8]
In the autumn season, the channel brought back Argument Kino for the first time since 2016, a program where the airing of a Ukrainian movie was accompanied by relevant commentary.[9]
TSN: A Special View, a cycle of themed TSN documentaries, was broadcast in November in conjunction with the 2024 United States presidential election.[10] In December 2024, the channel started plans for an adaptation of Wheel of Fortune.[11]
On 16 July 2025, the Ukrainian Ministry of Culture designated it as a critical importance channel, in order for its staff not to be mobilized.[12]
