Oigoo TV

Oigoo TV (Omawatian: Телевициони мохавори "Ойгоо"/Ойгоо ТВ; SRO: Telewizioni mohawori "Oýgoo"/Oýgoo TW) was a defunct Omawatian television andnew media group founded in 1992. Until the terrestrial channel opened in 2015, Oigoo was one of the country's largest media groups.
Risks taken by the investment to set up a commercial terrestrial channel have rendered the company obsolete. Its channel portfolio will be shared among a number of companies. The operations were initially set to shut down for good on December 31, 2020, but a small extension period then followed, and the shutdown was later changed to January 12, 2021. Employees were retrenched in mid-December. The remaining channels were handed over to Haykawren Media.
==History==
Oigoo started business in September 1992. It initially broadcast a minuscule satellite channel downlinked from Tangwa. There, a limited two-hour schedule running late at night in Tangwan time but adjusted to Omawatian prime time was being executed, with programming consisting of imported TV shows (never seen on Omawatian TV until then) and a newscast, Mandai Gegeej (Мандай Гегееж/Mandaý Gegeej). The channel was also available in the cable networks of Tomoweru, Bishek and Laizuu.
The two-hour schedule was also sent to a handful of local television stations across Omawate, with the goal of supporting freedom of speech and democracy. In spite of those plans, the newscast was barely capable of covering news from Omawate because they were forbidden to do so, mainly due to the lack of technology available in the country.
The flat share agreement with Tangwa ended in September 1993, prompting Oigoo to start a new life of its own.
They moved to Sondriasat with the aim of launching a package of channels. The launch was set for November 15, 1993, but due to payment issues, broadcasts didn't restart until much later, on December 20, 1993. The package also consisted of localized STAR Television channels. These were:
*Oigoo Entertainment Channel (Ойгоо Жулып Каналы/Oýgoo Julyp Kanaly): the channel broadcast international television series, Mandai Gegeej and musical events.
*MTV Sondria: replaced by Channel V in 1994, ran until 1996
*NBS World Service Television: Since STAR didn't own the entirety of the service, they negotiated with the Nashlandian Broadcasting Service to provide the channel instead. Since Omawate fell in the South beam, there were no problems in the renegotiation process.
In 1996 they stopped their partnership with STAR and the channels changed.
*Oigoo Entertainment Channel (still Ойгоо Жулып Каналы) was relaunched under a new slot. Mandai Gegeej continued its run on the channel.
*Oigoo Movie Channel (Ойгоо Филмы Каналы/Oýgoo Filmy Kanaly) mainly broadcast movies from the United States of Sierra and Hopeland, this time with subtitles.
*Oigoo Children's Channel (Ойгоо Басбохи Каналы/Oýgoo Basbohi Kanaly), taking advantage of its partnership with ABC Cable Networks, had its own version of the Kaizhungese program Panda Club (Шаңма Жулып/Shangma Julyp, literally "Panda Entertainment"). Shangma was also shown on local terrestrial television stations.
*Oigoo Music Channel (Ойгоо Ымгы Каналы/Oýgoo Ymgy Kanaly) replaced the old slot that housed the relays of STAR World (whose contract in Omawate was under STAR's control), and was at a standstill regarding its future. The channel was later renamed Tsanghaa (Цаңхаа) in July 1997, focusing more on new and upcoming local musicians.
A new digital television center was opened in March 1997 and Oigoo became the first company in Omawate to deliver its channels with digital technology. As a consequence it's children's channel was renamed Panda Channel (Шаңма Каналы/Shangma Kanaly) and all channels got a new look. A fifth channel, a news channel, opened in 1999. The sports channel was rejected due to lack of budget, claiming that the market was well-served by existing sports channels (Tiyukkanaly started in 2000 under a separate owner). All movies were now shown on the Oigoo Movie Channel yet the Oigoo Entertainment Channel opened up to sporting events.
Mandai Gegeej was cancelled in 2003, citing "the success of the Oigoo News Channel". The channel in question had switched to an entertainment and sports format by then. Mandai Gegeej was replaced by Apti Hadalman (Апти Хадалман) which focused more on Omawatian news. Apti Hadalman was cancelled in 2006 and was replaced by normal bulletins.
Achaki TV, an independent channel, joined Oigoo TV in 2004, but wasn't operating from Omawate, it was instead downlinked from Lenapore.

In 2015, the government of Omawate issued a terrestrial license to Oigoo, however, as part of the plans, the company was forced to have "peremptory status".
