FC Shakhtar is the first club in Ukraine to have launched its own TV channel
Starting April 24, Shakhtar TV will be available to more than 600,000 VOLIA subscribers throughout Ukraine through digital television and OTT-TV technology in SD and HD quality, as well as in the VOLIA TV mobile application.
“The matches involving Shakhtar are of great interest to our audience,” pointed out Sandra Kraujina, VOLIA Chief Marketing Officer. “We are delighted by the fact that football fans have got another TV channel now, so we congratulate FC Shakhtar on the ambitious and necessary project of launching its club television channel. We are excited about our partnership and hope to provide football fans in Ukraine with the unique experience of viewing their favourite content on all platforms.”
Shakhtar TV has been streamed in test mode on the OLL.TV platform. The audience can watch Shakhtar’s archive of match videos featuring Champions League, Europa League (UEFA Cup), Ukrainian Championship and other competitions. Next season, the broadcast schedule will be filled with content of their own production.
“As a European club, we always strive to open up new opportunities for our fans. With the help of club television, they will receive high-quality and, most importantly, exclusive content. Moreover, Shakhtar TV is also a tool for uniting our fans who support the club in different cities and towns of Ukraine as well as abroad,” stressed Shakhtar TV Director Andrii Babeshko.
“Media Group Ukraine will be engaged in the distribution of Shakhtar TV,” said Oleksandr Remezovskyi, Director for Distribution of Pay TV Channels & Media Platforms at Media Group Ukraine. “The channel is already available to subscribers to the OLL.TV platform, in the VOLIA network and, in May it will be included in packages of the Xtra TV satellite provider and other cable providers. We will try to ensure maximum coverage and wide access of viewers to the Shakhtar TV channel.”
