Travel TV channel UTRAVEL from FILM.UA Group and Star Media exclusively on Kyivstar TV
On Friday, September 10, on the Kyivstar TV online television platform, a joint project of 1+1 media and Kyivstar, UTRAVEL — the first Ukrainian TV channel from Star Media and FILM.UA Group about tourism, travel and adventure — will become available exclusively. The travel channel will popularize trips to Ukraine in an entertaining and informative format for both compatriots and foreigners.
UTRAVEL will be exclusively available to Kyivstar TV users. Viewers can expect new travel shows that have not been broadcast on television before and, in addition, UTRAVEL has attracted travel experts, popular presenters and famous bloggers ("One Right with Vlad Khilchenko", "Visit Ukraine by Anton Taranenko", the project "Nina- Ukraine", "Travels of Orest Zuba", "Adventures of Yevhen Panyuta" and others) to content creation. With them, the viewer will be able to learn more about different corners of Ukraine and discover beach and mountain resorts, fortresses, castles and temples, historical museums and nature reserves, lakes and rivers, as well as cities and towns in a new way.
Pavlo Rybak , head of the Kyivstar TV project, comments: "Travel is content that always fascinates and motivates for new trips, so we are proud to have such a cool channel in Kyivstar TV's arsenal! I am sure that platform users will appreciate it. Our joint task as a socially oriented business is to popularize Ukraine, its unique places and beauty, so UTRAVEL resonates with us in this direction."
Director of broadcasting, distribution and development of FILM.UA Group TV channels, Nariman Huseynov , said: "This is not the first cooperation between FILM.UA Group and Star Media, and, in addition to other areas, we have a successful collaboration in the field of TV - BOLT TV channel. Now together we are launching a new for us and the first for Ukraine TV channel about travel - UTRAVEL, which has a great potential of its own production, and will also contribute to the development of tourism in Ukraine. It is symbolic that our TV channel is launched on Kyivstar TV — also a joint service of two companies Kyivstar and 1+1 media, and it seems that this is the first time that an exclusively Ukrainian-licensed TV channel first appears on an OTT service."
Oleksiy Shuldeshov , general producer of Star Media TV channels, comments: "UTRAVEL is more than just a channel. UTRAVEL is a concentration of all knowledge about travel in Ukraine and beyond. We also see the development of the channel off-air. And the fact that we appeared exclusively on the domestic OTT platform is a great responsibility and high trust, which we will certainly justify."
