In early
April, the Latvian campaign "Baltcom" has
included the international broadcasting channel of Ukraine UA | TV into
packages of the "Digital TV" and "Interactive TV".
Minister of
Information Policy of Ukraine Yurii Stets commented:
"From now the leading Internet television and digital television of Latvia
offer viewers programs of the International broadcasting multimedia platform of
Ukraine of the channel UA | TV. I am grateful to the
Ambassador of Latvia to Ukraine Juris Poikans for assistance in distributing our television
channel. It is important, that the Ukrainians living in Latvia now have the
access to official Ukrainian television".
The «Baltcom» was founded in 1991 and for 25 years has become
one of the leading providers of electronic communication in Latvia. Today, the
company provides its services throughout all Latvia.
Note that on 17 March 2016, during the meeting of the Minister of Information Policy of Ukraine Yurii Stets with the Ambassador Extraordinary and
Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Latvia to Ukraine Juris
Poikans the TV channel was presented with its main
features of broadcasting. Then the Honorable Ambassador expressed his support
and promised to promote international broadcasting of Ukraine to Latvia in the
nearest future.
Recall that
the launch of the International broadcasting multimedia platform of Ukraine
(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, Galaxy 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.
