Ukrainian TV channel is about to broadcast in Canada, the USA and Germany

In April, Pershyi Ukraine TV channel starts broadcasting
in Canada, the U.S. and Germany. It’s known that the
TV media is focused on Ukrainian diaspora mainly. According to Pershyi Ukraine TV channel general producer Mykhailo Smutok, broadcasting expansion allows
keeping Ukrainians living abroad informed about events taken in place in Ukraine and the
news on Ukrainian language, culture etc. Currently, about two million Ukrainians are living in Canada and the U.S. Due to collaboration
with the providers who use modern methods of signal
delivery to viewers via Internet technologies (IP-TV, SMART TV) the Ukrainian
TV-channel broadens its potential
audience and geography of the channel
program views with no additional
funds.
