<span><span><span><span><span><span>Army FM is Ukraine’s state-run military radio station. It is primarily aimed at military personnel. It was established in March 2016 in response to the conditions of hybrid warfare. In 2016–2017, broadcasts were limited exclusively to the Anti-Terrorist Operation zone in the eastern regions. Later, the broadcast area began to expand. The station’s programming consists mainly of up-to-the-minute frontline news, official reports from the General Staff, expert analysis, as well as Ukrainian music and wartime songs. </span></span></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span><span>The licenses of the Odessa-based TV channels “Glas” and “Plus” were revoked at the request of the media owners. Both companies attributed the decision to the difficult economic situation, power outages, and technical difficulties. </span></span></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span><span>In September 2024, the Odessa-based TV and radio company “Grad” ceased broadcasting news. In August of that same year, the online publication “Ukrainian Information Service” (USI), which was part of the same media holding company as “Channel 7,” suspended operations. On September 1, the publication resumed operations, but the channel did not. </span></span></span></span></span></span>

<span><span><span><span><span><span>In 2026, the Odesa region ranked third in terms of the number of media outlets, behind the Lviv and Kyiv regions. The list of companies holding media licenses in the Odesa region totals 200.</span></span></span></span></span></span>
