Dot, Pat, Pauline, Sharon, Peggy and Phil are set for stardom in the Ukraine as EastEnders debuts on Ukrainian TV with launch of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ entertainment channel - Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ PRIME - in the Eastern European republic.


Ukrainian viewers, who can access Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ PRIME for the first time via Volia, the country's leading cable network, will join the EastEnders' current storylines as Dot is attacked, Barry is back in the car lot and Sharon and Vicky meet their long lost brother.

The line up of new programming to the region also includes Top of the Pops, The Weakest Link and Parkinson, with guests such as Tony Bennett, Jeff Bridges and James Nesbitt.


"Bringing Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ programming to viewers in this important developing broadcast market is very exciting and I am sure they will love the entertaining line-up. We are looking forward to working with our partners to bring more of the best of British talent to Ukrainian screens," said Wayne Dunsford, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Worldwide's Director of Channels.


Volia President, Sergey Boyko, added, "Cable television has great potential in the Ukraine so introducing such a prestigious channel from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ is a strong step forward for our business. Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ PRIME brings a world class selection of programming to our channel line-up."


Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ PRIME is distributed through Volia's subsidiary network, InterVideo Kiev.


Other Central and Eastern European markets already covered by Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ PRIME include Russia, Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary, Estonia, Latvia and Poland.
