Karaoke on the Maidan (Ukrainian: Караоке на Майдані, lit. Karaoke on the Square) was a Ukrainian music programme and television talent show created by Ihor Kondratiuk and Andrey Kozlov. During its runtime between 1999 and 2019, Karaoke on the Maidan was a popular television programme in Ukraine, scoring well in the ratings.[1] Its former list of finalists and winners include Tina Karol, Max Barskih, Vitalii Kozlovskyi, Natalia Valevska, Oleksandr Skichko and Taras Topolia.[2]
After shooting for over twenty years and producing more than a thousand episodes, creator and presenter Ihor Kondratiuk pulled the plug of the show in late 2018.[3] The source of the cancellation was an ending contract with then broadcaster STB. Meanwhile Kontratiuk felt that the programme had outlived itself and had become old-fashioned.[4]
