Mr Khoroskhovsky wasted little time and launched an investigation demanding documents from the regulator about the tender. Inter then asked the court to cancel the results of an earlier tender and the court obliged, citing irregularities in the earlier tender. As a result TVi will remain a satellite channel with little coverage in Ukraine, and Channel 5, whose licence allows it to be mainly about entertainment, may not be able to retain its news programmes.
The Economist writes on the move by regulators to take away broadcasting frequencies from Channel 5 and TVi. An earlier Ukrainska Pravda article reported on a letter sent to President Yanukovych from the Channel Five editorial board essential asking Yanukovych to halt Khoroskhovsky. Now, Yanukovych slipped up during the presidential campaign and expressed what he actually thought about media freedom. This move fits in with his comments that freedom of speech was costly for the Ukrainian people (meaning Regions-leaning oligarchs).
