The story

In 2007, the Media Holding became the owner of the Internet portal "Ukrainian Portal", on the basis of which the resource itself was earned. In the same year, "Obozrevatel" became the owner of the well-known Ukrainian resource "Mobilniks.ua".

From June 1, 2010, OBOZ.ua holding, which belongs to "Obozrevatel", united all available resources into one main site, which placed all the areas that previously worked separately in a holistic project with categories. In the future, the resource also launched the MyObozrevatel information network, which freely hosts the material of independent journalists, after confirmation by the project administration.

In 2011, OBOZ.ua has acquired a service for the creation of online stores.

In March 2017, the Institute of Mass Information identified in the Browser's texts the violation of the standards for filing journalistic materials, with only 32% of the quality text out of 100 available. By the end of August this year, the percentage of news without violations of journalistic standards has increased exactly twice. IMI Ukraine has identified 64% of news without violations, but the resource remained in the outsiders list.

Oboz TV

The publishing house has its own TV channel Oboz TV. On July 27, 2017, Oboz TV received a license for round-the-clock satellite broadcasting.
