NLO TV (Ukrainian:НЛО TV) was aUkrainian youth entertainment TV channel. The target audience was people aged 14–35. The coverage of the channel was 80% of the territory of Ukraine.
The TV channel was part of the media conglomerate "Media Group Ukraine", the shareholder of which was the company "System Capital Management".[2] The channel closed alongside all remaining MGU channels in July 2022.
It became known about the appearance of the TV channel back in 2011, when applications were being accepted for vacancies in the digital terrestrial digital (DVB-T2). Candidates for digital slots from "Media Group Ukraine" were the channels "Ukraine", "Kinotochka" ("Indigo TV"), "NLO-TV", "Novyny" and "Sport" (the last two channels did not appear). The TV channel started broadcasting on February 6, 2012, in the T2 channel, in the third multiplex.[3][4] Broadcasting is also carried out in the networks of cable providers of digital and analog television.
On December 15, 2012, it changed its Ukrainian notation from "НЛО-ТБ" to "НЛО TV" and updated its graphics.
On February 15, 2016, NLO TV began broadcasting the cartoon series "South Park" with Ukrainian and original (English) dubbing. During the showing of the animated series, the TV channel was available simultaneously with Ukrainian and English soundtracks. On November 13 of the same year, the TV channel began broadcasting new seasons with Ukrainian dubbing of the animated series seriesFamily Guy (seasons 11-15) andThe Simpsons (seasons 26-28).[5]

On July 11, 2022, the ultimate owner of the media holding, Rinat Akhmetov, announced the termination of the TV channels and print media of "Media Group Ukraine" and the exit of the parent company "SCM" from the media business, making this conditional on the adoption of the law on deoligarchization.[9] All licenses owned by TV channels will be transferred to the state.
