Studio 1+1
Studio 1+1 first hit Ukraine's airwaves in 1995 and now broadcasts 24 hours a day. The station's programming includes popular US and Western European productions as well as regional productions including popular Russian TV series and locally (Ukrainian) and home produced shows and films.
In 2008 Studio 1+1 launched a new show based on the successful "Bailando" format. The show under the title of "Dancing for You" has been on air for 2 seasons, invariably attracting huge audiences and winning viewers' hearts.
TSN (Television News Service), a daily news program, may be justly and truly referred to as one of Studio 1+1's strongest programs. TSN is an influential and powerful brand in Ukraine. It is the only news program in the country that is socially-oriented, giving preference to everyday lives over politics. TSN regularly prepares special investigation serials on the issues that Ukrainians are actually interested in such as medical care standards, problem teenagers, criminality and corruption among police and other law enforcers. Such stories keep viewers glued to their screens. In 2009 the TSN Chief was awarded the Honorary Journalist title.
Studio 1+1 programming also includes the most popular TV series from the world over, such as "Beverly Hills", "Melrose Place", "Sex and the City" and "Gipsy Heart", as well as Russian-made "Margosha", "Red-Haired", "Muhtar" and so on. The channel's weekend entertainment programming also includes an enriched Karaoke talent show.
Apart from maintaining permanent links with its viewers via its home made and acquired programming, Studio 1+1 shows its interest and provides enthusiastic support for various aspects of cultural life in Ukraine, such as concerts, exhibitions, festivals and sporting events.
1+1's major advertisers include Procter & Gamble, Kraft Foods, Colgate Palmolive Group, Unilever and Nestle as well as major Ukrainian companies such as Volun Holding, Obolon and Kyiv Star.
Oleksandr Tkachenko is General Director of Studio 1+1.
