The information and entertainment TV channel will be broadcasting via the UATV channel. It will be able to cover 80 percent of the occupied territory.
The new TV channel for the temporarily occupied areas of Donbas is to be launched on March 1. Ukraine's Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Volodymyr Borodyansky reported that as quoted by Interfax-Ukraine.
The name of the new medium will be soon approved; the government already announced the contest for those willing to become the new channel's top manager.
"Currently, we have practically completed the negotiations with all media groups to provide premium content for this channel. Now, we're on the stage of approval of the memorandum with TV groups", Borodyansky said.
Previously, it became known that Olena Trybushna would lead the information section of the TV channel. "Our goal is to objectively talk about everything that happens here, realizing that for almost six years these people (in the occupied territories, - 112 International) have consumed the content of Russian television channels ... We want to dispel their myths and the fears associated with us, we want them to understand that they are heard here and want to solve their problems, and so we want to start a dialogue with them," she said, commenting on the TV channel's mission.
