A court has stripped two Ukrainian TV channels - Channel 5 and TVi - of their new broadcast frequencies, RFE/RL’s Ukrainian Service reports. The Kyiv district court annulled the January results of a tender held by Ukraine’s National Council on Television and Radio Broadcasting that allocated those frequencies. According to Ukrainian media experts, Channel 5 and TVi are among the few Ukrainian TV channels that provide independent news coverage.
