STB (TV channel)
STB (Ukrainian: СТБ) is a Ukrainian commercial television network. Currently, the network's coverage reaches 85% of Ukraine's territory. It broadcasts in all oblast regional administrative centers and every Ukrainian city with a population over 50,000. It ranks as the top TV network in Ukraine.[citation needed]
The channel is a part of the Starlight Media broadcasting group, established by Victor Pinchuk.
Origins of the network can be traced back to 1997 when the network was initially founded as a joint venture between the Ukrainian and American companies International Media Center, Shachar Enterprises, Inc., and Internews Netouron K. STB was officially launched on 2 June 1997. Since 1997, STB has been controlled by Volodymyr Sivkovych, a Ukrainian businessman and politician. He was the one, who decided to create the TV channel. Since September 1996, the crew of STB broadcast news under the title Vikna (Ukrainian: Вікна, "Windows") on the frequency of UT-2.
In 1999, STB fell under the influence of companies of the Russian Lukoil Group through its Norcross Corporation because of pro Russia pro Kremlin pro Putin Leonid Kuchma's support for aggressive actions taken against STB management's independent position in early 1999 resulting in Oleksiy Fedun, who made STB into a very pro Kuchma platform, becoming the executive president of the network on 6 September 1999.
In 2000, the popularity of the channel rose. The most popular programs are Vikna. News., Vikna. Business., Vikna. Capital-city., Vikna. Crimes., Vikna. Sport. and Vikna. Midnight. STB becomes an info-channel.
In 2000, Vikna was registered as a trademark of STB. In 2001 STB became a registered trademark. STB became the first Ukrainian television network that got a domain name and website – stb.ua.
In 2002, the administration of STB changes its brand as an info-channel. There are more entertaining programs on air, such as, National Striptise Championship of Ukraine, reality-shows The House and Starving, and the scandalous talk show Restricted Zone. The popularity of STB falls. Lukoil tries to sell STB.
In 2004, STB becomes the property of one of Leonid Kuchma son in law Viktor Pinchuk's StarLightMedia Group.
