1+1 International is an international TV channel aimed at the Ukrainian diaspora, broadcasting throughout North America and Europe. It is the international sister channel of the Ukrainian channel 1+1 and started broadcasting in March 2006. The channel is a part of 1+1 Media Group, related to Ihor Kolomoyskyi.[1][2]

1+1 International is broadcast on a 24-hour schedule and is run by Anatoliy Yerema, the general producer and chief director. It is available by satellite and cable across the World, as well as in many hotel rooms in Europe.

History[edit]

In late 2008, 1+1 International was removed from DirecTV & GlobeCast World TV in the United States and the Canadian variant of the channel, which was owned by Ethnic Channels Group, was relaunched as TONIS. 1+1 International is now available again in Canada, after being picked up by IMB+ Records, an IPTV provider.[3]

On 10 March 2016, 1+1 International re-launched in Canada, as a foreign service, via Bell Fibe TV.

Sometime in April 2022, 1+1 International was re-added to DirecTV on channel 321, the channel space was previously used for RT America.

On July 7, 2022, 1+1 International was removed from DirecTV after experiencing "temporary technical difficulties" since July 4th. The channel space currently shows a slide reading "This channel is no longer available. We regret any inconvenience." It was later revealed that the channel was dropped as it had stopped its 24/7 coverage of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and began adding entertainment programming.[4]

On June 11, 2022, the channel restored part of its schedule, reducing the airtime given to the United News service. The Russian-language programs have since been dubbed to Ukrainian.[5]

On December 15, 2022, the State Committee for Television and Radio-broadcasting re-issued the license of 1+1 International and approved a rebranding to "1+1 Ukraina", which became a backup channel for the media group's main channel 1+1. Consequently a new license was applied for 1+1 International's continuation on December 22.[6]
