5 Kanal (Ukrainian: 5 канал, lit. 'Channel 5') is a television station in Ukraine formerly owned by businessman and fifth President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko.[1][2]
The channel became well known as the first major broadcaster during the 2004 presidential election offering critical broadcasting on candidate Viktor Yanukovych.[3] The whole staff of the channel went on hunger strike when (at the time, late 2004) the government threatened to close it.[4]
According to the Ukrainian media watchdog Telekrytyka Kanal 5 and TVi were the only remaining TV channels mid-May 2010 with independent and fair TV news coverage.[5]
Poroshenko sold the channel shortly after the passing of the anti-oligarch law in November 2021.[2]
