Viasat Kino

Viasat Kino is a movie television channel targeting the Baltic countries. It is owned by the international broadcaster Viasat World and was launched on 1 March 2003 by Swedish media conglomerate Modern Times Group.

On 1 March 2023, TV1000 East renamed to Viasat Kino.

On 31 March 2023, Viasat World TV channels stopped broadcasting in Ukraine, the reason was a conflict of interests with the Russian owners.

On 9 June 2023, Viasat World TV channels resumed broadcasting on a Ukrainian satellite provider Viasat Ukraine and other cable providers. However, Ukraine's regulator the National Council said it does not recommend the distribution of Viasat channels, despite the fact that they have a three-month licence issued in another EU country.
