«Five studies and reviews conducted for the KYIV MEDIA WEEK White Paper by MBR and MRM provide the professional community with up-to-date exclusive data, a basis for understanding the significant changes in the Ukrainian TV, film, and streaming services industry. By the way, I think it would not be an exaggeration to say that this is the first such a complex and, hopefully, successful attempt to outline and analyze the main trends and prospects of Ukrainian OTT platforms – a young, actively developing market that remains a mystery in many respects,» – Anna Davydova, editor of special projects at Media Business Reports and editor of KMW White Paper.

The study must demonstrate the evolution of the industry over the past five years.
2. The TV Viewing Trends research will analyze the air of TOP-6 TV channels – covering both general statistics and each broadcasters’ programming grid separately. It will also show what types of content (shows, series, movies, etc.) the TV channels are betting on and their competitive edges.

«This year, the KMW White Paper focuses on the Ukrainian audiovisual content market. While continuing to explore the television and film industry, for the first time, we investigate OTT platforms. We provide our readers with comprehensive information on what is produced, where it is broadcast, who finances it, and how it is monetized. For this study, we conducted a series of research on domestic television (namely, monitoring of the most popular types of content and program strategies of the largest TV channels). In the context of cinema, we focused on the effectiveness of state support for the industry, and in the OTT market review, we identified its key trends. Next year we plan to deepen and expand research in these areas», – Anastasiia Rakhmanina, chief editor at Media Business Reports.
