History of 1+1 media

1+1 media group is Ukraine's oldest media holding and one of the largest media holdings in Eastern Europe. Our story began in the fall of 1995, when Oleksandr Rodnyansky founded Studio 1+1 Production Company. Over time, other TV channels, a news agency, online media, platforms, educational and charitable projects, etc. appeared, and the number of initiatives grew every day.

It was on September 3, 1995, that the words «Hello, Studio 1+1 is on the air» were first heard from the presenter Lyudmyla Klepakova on the air of UT-1 Channel.
