Pershyi (Ukrainian: Перший, IPA: [ˈpɛrʃɪj]; meaning First) is the Ukrainian public television channel, operated by the Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine.

It is the only Ukrainian TV channel covering over 97% of Ukraine's territory. Its programs are oriented toward all levels of Ukrainian society and national minorities. Among priority directions of the network are information, popular science, culture, entertainment and sports.

History

[edit]
Headquarters and studios in 2017

It was launched in 2015 as the main TV channel of the newly created public broadcaster. The channel has replaced Pershyi Natsionalnyi (Ukrainian: Перший національний, First National), the state-operated TV channel that traced its origin to the Soviet UT (Ukrainian: Українське телебачення, Russian: Украинское телевидение, Ukrainian Television) and after dissolution of the Soviet Union, UT-1. The channel's anniversary has always been November 6, the anniversary of its first broadcast in 1951.

Pershyi is neither influenced by the state nor by Ukrainian oligarchs, which makes it one of the most transparent and reliable media outlets in Ukraine.[1] The channel has a series of journalistic investigations related to corruption in Ukrainian politics, including incidents that were related to the incumbent (at the time) presidents Petro Poroshenko and Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

In 2019, it was announced that the channel will change its name to Suspilne TV (Ukrainian: Суспільне ТБ, Public Television) as a part of rebranding process of the public broadcaster.[2] However, this idea was later dismissed by the Supervisory Board of Suspilne, who decided to keep the name Pershyi after the rebranding. The channel changed its logo and visual identity to the current on May 23, 2022.

It began broadcasting in high definition (HD) on April 12, 2022.

Because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, from February 24, 2022 to May 21, 2024, the TV channel broadcast the informational marathon "United News". There was no advertising on the air.

On May 21, 2024, the TV channel partially resumed independent broadcasting, expanding the information block of content — it broadcasts its own informational marathon "Suspilne. Studio", as well as on regional channels of Public Broadcasting. In addition, own informational telethon is part of "United News".
