Quick Facts Country, Broadcast area ...

On 1 March 2023, TV1000 East renamed to Viasat Kino.[4][5]

On 31 March 2023, Viasat World TV channels stopped broadcasting in Ukraine, the reason was a conflict of interests with the Russian owners.[6]

On 9 June 2023, Viasat World TV channels resumed broadcasting on a Ukrainian satellite provider Viasat Ukraine and other cable providers.[7][8][9] However, Ukraine's regulator the National Council said it does not recommend the distribution of Viasat channels, despite the fact that they have a three-month licence issued in another EU country.[10]
