Ukraine’s President Zelensky has signed a decree that will see all national TV channels in the country combined into a single platform.
According to the regulator National Council, following a decision of the National Security and Defence Council, the multiplex operator Zeonbud will work as part of the the Concern of Radio Broadcasting, Radio Communications and Television for the period of martial law. It added that the two bodies must work together to ensure:
The sustainable operation of digital broadcasting facilities and uninterrupted broadcasting of TV channels in MX – 1, -2, -3, -5
Round-the-clock monitoring of the terrestrial network, equipment of the main multiplexing station, satellite and terrestrial communication channels
The reservation of satellite channels for delivery of programmes and equipment of the main multiplexing station
The backup delivery of TV channels to digital transmitters with the involvement of an alternative satellite operator
Meanwhile, the single platform will unite all national TV channels, the programme content of which consists mainly of information and/or information-analytical programmes.
Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council sees the implementation of a unified information policy as a priority issue of national security, achieved by uniting all national TV channels.
The National Council concludes by saying “this decision was taken in view of the direct military aggression of the Russian Federation, the active dissemination of misinformation by the aggressor state, distortion of information, as well as justifying or denying the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, as well as to bring the truth about the war during the period of martial law in Ukraine”.
