1+1 Media[c] is one of the largest media conglomerates in Ukraine. The General Director of the Group is Yaroslav Pakholchuk.[1]

Structure

[edit]

1+1 Media Group comprises seven Ukrainian TV channels, 1+1, 2+2, TET, PLUSPLUS, Bigudi, UNIAN TV and 1+1 International. It also controls the online news platforms TSN.ua, UNIAN, Glavred.info, Telekritika and Dusia. It had controlled the English language satellite television channel Ukraine Today until it was shut down in 2016.

The structure of the group includes the production company '1+1 Production' which is responsible for the creation of in-house TV formats and the adaptation of international formats for broadcast on the several TV channels of the group, including reality and dating shows, talent shows, scripted realities, TV series, sitcoms, documentary and sports programs, original programs and information broadcasting. The production company not only covers in-house needs, but also works with external customers.

After launching 1+1 International in 2006, which is aimed at the Ukrainian diaspora, the group started its first attempt at gaining part of the international TV market by launching the English language Ukraine Today in August 2014.[3]

In January 2019 the Ukrainian National Council of Television and Radio refused to give 1+1's news channel UNIAN TV a digital license. The group claimed the refusal was unfounded and politically motivated.[7]

A 1+1 Worldwide app was launched on 4 November 2024. The app contains three FAST channels: 1+1 News and 1+1 Travel; the latter of which contains two separate channels with English and Spanish dubs of Dmytro Komarov's series The World Inside Out.[8]
