Putting the Viewer at the Center

According to Vitaliy Volochay, the company’s co-founder, Maincast.tv represents a significant step forward in promoting Ukrainian-language broadcasts. The platform will offer users an innovative viewing experience, from interactive analytics to unique shows tailored specifically for the Ukrainian audience.
Part of Maksym Krippa’s Global Vision
For Maksym Krippa, the launch of Maincast and Maincast Sport is another step in realizing his ambitious strategy to invest in the digital space. His portfolio already includes iconic projects like the esports club NAVI and GSC Game World, the developer of the legendary game S.T.A.L.K.E.R..
A Boost for the Ukrainian Media Market
The new media initiatives from Maincast not only open new opportunities for the development of Ukraine’s media market but also contribute to the global promotion of national culture.
