The history of the company

Former members of humoristic show KVN team of RUDN University Sangadji Tarbaev and Eduard Eloyan launched "YBW Show" [11] on "KTK" Kazakh TV channel in 2007 made by Yellow, Black and White especially founded for that reason. [12] In 2008 Russian "STS" TV channel took an interest in the format of the program (This is how the "Color of Nation" and "League of Nations" shows were created). [13]

In 2009 Yellow, Black and White launched molodejj.tv website. Besides the TV Series, there are also exclusive materials, not shown on the TV, musical videos and much more presented. Since 2011 despite the fact that the most part of TV programs was "YBW" products, there was also "Red Square" company's TV show [14] uploading at molodejj.tv ("Red Square" owned the half of one). The second half belonged to "YBW Group". In 2012 molodejj.tv was transferred under "Gazprom-Media" sales house sponsorship. In the end of November 2014 "Red Square" left "molodejj.tv". [15]

In 2011 Vitaliy Shlyappo and Alexey Trotsyuk joined the producing company becoming general producers of the projects. Sangaji Tarbaev, the general producer, left the company in 2013. [2]

In 2014, after the full-length movies success, "Films Forever" was created. The company was creating movies separately from the head-company. [2]

In October 2017 Yellow, Black and White launched "Start" online-cinema platform. 26% of the "Start Media" LLC originally belonged to "Solaris Promo Production" Pte Ltd in Singapore (by that time it changed its owner). After a month this share passed to founded Cipriot TCT Production Ltd company. In December "Parnas-Media" LLC, 100% proppered by "Gazprom-Media Entertaining Television" LLC, became the only owner of TCT Production.

[16]

On January 1, 2018 "Super" TV channel was launched. It was part of "Gazprom-Media", which some of the former YBW employees had worked on (Check "Partnership"). YBW finished projects were supposed to be the main part of the channel's schedule (originally designed for "CTC Media" holding), but in November 2017 the holding had buybacked its own library and as a result there were foreign series and movies ("Baywatch" was the first), "TNT" series and sketch-shows reruns ("Sasha+Masha", "Babes and Chicks", "Women's League" etc.) broadcasting on the "Super" channel. The projects shown on "Super" channel were originally ordered from Yellow, Black and White by "STS" ("Fitness" series and "Funny time" sketchcom), but producing the new ones was performed directly by TCT Production. [17] Since 2020, the general director of "Friday!" TV channel, Nikolay Kartozia, is reformatting the "Super" instead of the YBW team. On February 1, 2021, the channel changed its name to "Saturday!".
