(IBMPU) was held on 1 October 2015. In the framework of the International
broadcasting multimedia platform of Ukraine the "UA|TV" channel was
introduced instead of satellite "UTR" TV channel. It is broadcasted
via three satellites: Amos 3, Azerspace 1, Galazy 19, as well on its own YouTube channel.
The legal
basis of the International broadcasting multimedia platform of Ukraine became
the Law "On international broadcasting system of Ukraine" developed
by MIP, which was signed by the President of Ukraine
on 28 December 2015.
According to the Law IBMPU is registered as a state enterprise.
