'''MTV Ukraine''' ({{langx|uk|MTV Україна}}) was a Ukrainian free-to-air television music channel operated by GDF Media Limited under licence from VIMN Europe. The channel was launched on 24 August 2007, 6:00 a.m. and was replaced on 31 May 2013 by a new youth-orientated music and general entertainment channel called Zoom.<ref name="broadbandtvnews.com">{{Cite web|url=http://www.broadbandtvnews.com/2013/05/31/mtv-ukraine-rebrands/|title=MTV Ukraine rebrands|date=31 May 2013}}</ref>
==Channel rebrand== On 31 May 2013 the operators of MTV in Ukraine, 'GDF Media' announced that the channel would cease operating from 23:00 on 31 May 2013 and would be rebranded as '''Zoom'''.<ref name="broadbandtvnews.com"/> The decision to replace MTV with a new channel was decided by GDF Media, as the owners of the licence to operate the Ukrainian version of MTV felt the brand is no-longer relevant to the demographic the channel was targeting. The decision to replace MTV Ukraine with Zoom came shortly after MTV Russia was closed down as a free-to-air television network and relaunched on pay television. At the same year, MTV Brasil was also closed down as a free-to-air television network by Grupo Abril and relaunched on pay television by Viacom Latin America.
