Ukraina channel has just moved The Masked Singer (the most successful national prime time show) to autumn. The Saturdays are free in February/March
This studio?
Or Ukraina palace (capacity: 3700) where they shoot some of their concerts?
Vova Ostapchuk as the host?

^well it became obvious to me when I saw Borodyanskiy, who since 2021 sits on observing board at Ukraina and Medvedev (ESC producer at PBC) cross folow each other on Instagram a few days ago.
Let’s see if Tomilchenko’s personal company now wins JESC production tender, turning Eurovision into their personal monopoly and benefiting from both Eurovision’s, while Starlight gets cutout from ESC pie as revenge for throwing them out when COVID began. I strongly suspect that PBC were the ones who got Red rabbit entertainment on staging Shum, with STB just providing money, as a compensation for insanely small budget they had for Vidkryvai.

^ Honestly speaking, they've already turned it into their monopoly 2 years ago and I'm fine with that.
Don't cry for Starlight, Argentina
They will be involved in the show imho, just like they created/built the stage for The Masked Singer (nothing looks familiar? I've recognized their work right away) and rented them equipment, M1 was responsible for graphic design. If you dig deeper you will see a lot of familiar faces. In the end Ukraina can join PBC/STB/1+1 threesome with the last 2 having a lesser part.

2021 marked the change of course. Their owner sold his assets in Russia. His business moved out of the occupied region. Moreover, together with Zelensky he eliminated/arrested Putin's #1 man in Ukraine and the man's businesses and channels. He increased his financial ties with Europe. In the near future he can create his own party, thus destroying the biggest pro-Russian party and dividing pro-Russian electorate.
All the most popular shows are in Ukrainian. The majority of TV series will remain in Russian imho, because they're milking the Russian-speaking markets and selling these series to other countries. Not to mention all those pro-Russian grannies, his electorate. But it's not Eurovision audience
The channel aims at the younger audience which is predominantly pro-European.

Interesting, thanks for more insight.
Although I didn't just refer to usage of languages, but generally what the channel stands for.
I still would have preferred 1+1 but it is what it is, at least it's a channel with more experience of putting up big shows than what they currently go with so that's hopefully a good sign.
1+1 is showing they are no strangers to ESC tricks. They created a hologram for the live show (DWTS) yesterday:
EDIT: Jamala's performance from the same show.
She has just delivered her best vocal performance to date for another show on 1+1:

EDIT #2: People from Ukraina media group were present at the yesterday's Go_A concert in Kyiv.

The former Head of PBC (and advisor of the current Head of PBC) Zurab Alasania revealed that Ukraina channel kept trying for years to buy the license to broadcast Eurovision. But the EBU did not allow that, because any other channel has to make a deal with the main partner first - PBC.
STB co-broadcasted Eurovision because they hosted Vidbir.
Now when STB is out ...

Khayat will not take part in the NF again:
"Even if it's gonna be 1+1, no, just no. I'm fully satisfied with the 2nd place. It was the best possible outcome for me, because going to ESC is a big responsibility ... you have to rely on luck. Not a lot depends of the performer. You have to sing well, but your country gives you a staging, your country supports you, but it doesn't depend of you. If you win here and then you go to Eurovision and finish at the 19th - 20th place... then Eurovision means nothing".
To quote Danilko/Verka who used to say many times that Eurovision is not about places: I've had your place in
one place
Katya from Go_A in the recent interview:
- Would you like to go to Eurovision again?
- I would love to.
- Solo or with the band?
- With the band.
Obviously not next year, but I'm glad that she loved it there.

PBC will be fully in charge of the next Vidbir (broadcast on UA: Pershiy) and they will hire another channel/company. I say channel because the whole list of requirements is HUGE and it's obviously meant for another channel's production company + the winner must be experienced in producing a similar TV show.
PBC opened the submission window for channels/companies to produce Vidbir & ESC staging
It will close on October 24 (one day after JESC final).Judging from the document, the other channel can rent them their venue, equipment etc.
The winning company will pay for travel expenses/accomodation in Italy. PBC pays for everything else (Vidbir, staging, etc.).
The show will start until February 12.
The full concept, technical description and the "demo" video of our performance in Turin should be ready until March 4.
The winning company must produce our back-up performance video (live-on-tape). It should be ready by March 20.

Angelina McFarlane's author refused to give copyrights to her family (only 2 days before the final), so she had to withdraw from the Junior Vidbir.
PBC invited her to Vidbir (in a few years).
She's just confirmed that she will definitely come back to Eurovision

I've got 1 bad rumour about a host, and 1 awesome rumour about production.
But I will reveal everything after it happens (or not. Pls PBC don't f--k it up
).
1 million views over the weekend, rumoured name for Vidbir:
More suggestions:
Italy.Il Volo Opera. Hunk. Come on, now!
I don't mind a dance act again:
Röyksopp-ish synthpop?
This girl collaborates with Maruv's composer + she's on good terms with PBC:
Can't stop summoning Alina Pash:

Eurovision is still a big dream of Kazka! - I can only hope they might get the chance someday! I do prefer them over go_a actually... go_a visual representation (music video, even the staging) didn't convince me...
