1+1 media's response to the enemy's attempts to jam Ukraine's satellite broadcasting
Along with its military aggression, Russia has not stopped its information sabotage and interference in the information broadcasting of Ukrainian TV channels.
Since the beginning of March, Russia has been actively jamming the satellite signals of Ukrainian TV channels on Astra4A and Hotbird13E satellites owned by European telecommunications companies SES and Eutelsat.
Today, on 28 March 2024, a large-scale external interference with the broadcasting of Ukrainian TV on the Astra4A satellite took place. In particular, around 9:30 a.m., the enemy tried to jam the broadcasts of 1+1 media's own and partner TV channels at 11766H, where, in particular, 1+1 Ukraine, 1+1 Marathon, TET, PLUSPLUS, Bigudi, 2+2, UNIAN and other channels are broadcast. Thus, instead of the United News telethon and content from other broadcasters, Ukrainian viewers saw Russian propaganda content for some time.
As of 11am, the problem was fixed and satellite broadcasting was restored. However, this is not the last attempt by Russia to jam the content of Ukrainian TV channels to disorient society and spread hostile narratives, especially in the territories bordering the temporarily occupied cities and villages.
We urge Ukrainians to observe information hygiene in order not to help the enemy spread disinformation. All of these actions are being taken by the Russian Federation to destabilise the situation in Ukraine.
We recommend, if possible, to ensure the reception of TV signals from various alternative sources - T2, cable, OTT, Internet (TV channels' websites, YouTube).
