Parliamentary TV-channel «RADA» () is the official television channel of the Ukraine parliament (Verkhovna Rada).
Until its relaunch in December 2021, it showed live broadcasts of the parliament's meetings, and others programs related to the law-making process. After December 2021, RADA was a state-owned, 24/7 news and informational TV channel. The channel was created in 1998 and is financed from the state budget.[ Rada TV channel fails to see fun in session hall, Kyiv Post (5 February 2013)] In 2025, the channel resumed live broadcasts of parliamentary sessions following a three-year ban it imposed due to security reasons following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Controversies
According to
UDAR MP Iryna Herashchenko in December 2013 the channel ignored the pro-European rallies of
Euromaidan while broadcasting mostly speeches and statements made by government members and rallies held by Party of Regions (and thus not covering the activities of all parliamentary factions and MPs, including opposition and independent deputies).
