Espreso TV
Espreso TV is a Ukrainian Information television channel. It started broadcasting during Euromaidan in 2013 solely via satellite without a license, which later caused procedural problems for it in acquiring one. Those problems were resolved by the end of 2014, when the channel was granted a license for digital broadcasting.
