Vladimir Pozner does not exclude that the "Time" program can be closed

The President of the Russian Academy of Television Vladimir Pozner does not exclude that the program "Times" on the First Channel Channel, which is leading, may cease to exist. He stated this live on the air of the Echo of Moscow .

Posner noted that “with an increasing press that is felt, with an increasing desire to limit the opportunity to openly talk about the most acute and important things and criticize something“ the existence of any program claiming to be final and analytical is called into question.

According to Vladimir Pozner, recently, "the situation is becoming more difficult," although he noticed that his authorities have not yet been limited to work on television.

“Did they call the Channel One to the leadership? I admit that they called,” he added. So far, Posner, according to him, was not put "in the conditions when he had to work against his conscience."

If this happens, which, according to Pozner, cannot be excluded, then "I have no choice, then I am leaving," he emphasized.
