A separate version of the television channel was created in October 2009 to be broadcast via Eutelsat 36A satellite to Ukrainian viewers. This was necessary because the Ukrainian Television and Radio Broadcasting Council (Ukrainian Cable Operators) demanded that Russian TV channels not adhering to Ukrainian legislation be removed from their broadcasting list. This decision had a significant impact on RTR-Planeta and Channel One, as well as TV Center. RTR Planeta, a Ukrainian cable network operator, returned to Ukraine on May 1, 2010.
