About 1 TV Crimea
1TV Crimea is a Ukrainian TV channel that was founded in 2006 and broadcast in Crimea until 2015 when it was forced to shut down by the Russian authorities following the annexation of Crimea by Russia. The channel's target audience was Crimean Tatars, and its programming was mostly in Russian, with some Crimean Tatar and Ukrainian.
1TV Crimea was known for its pro-Ukrainian coverage of the events leading up to the 2014 Crimean referendum and the annexation of Crimea by Russia. After the annexation, the channel received a formal warning from the Russian authorities over "extremist activities" and was forced to tone down its coverage. In 2015, the channel changed its programming to focus on cultural programs instead of news and politics.
