«Xsport», a popular Ukrainian TV channel with sports content, is suspending broadcasting from the satellite, as well as on cable and terrestrial platforms, starting from the beginning of 2015.
This was officially announced by channel representatives on January 23 of this year. The estimated duration of the broadcast suspension is 3 months. The likely reason for the broadcasting shutdown is the difficult economic situation in the country and the weakening of the media advertising market.
The owner of «Xsport» is the hockey club «Donbass» from Donetsk, which is controlled by former MP Boris Kolesnikov. «Xsport» began its existence on June 10, 2013, replacing the channel «Hockey», which broadcast only hockey matches and reviews. The new channel combined in its broadcasting grid bright hockey matches with top broadcasts of other sports.
