Nobody's anniversary. 20 years of NTV

I no longer know how many times I celebrated NTV anniversary. Or were these anniversaries of defeat? I don’t remember.

Circumstances are confused, we say “NTV”-we mean “defeat”, some vintage memes come up: a white flag from the window of the television center, “masks-shows”, “uzk”, “wand of Koch”.

On a birthday, this is inappropriate, still a holiday has people, there they seem to work for someone else. But to rejoice, too, somehow not with the hand.

Here Pavel Lobkov says : "I will not raise a toast for health or for the rest of the NTV."

He seems to be almost the only one who gives in connection with the anniversary of the interview. Colleagues are sluggishly complaining that you can’t interrogate anything about NTV from anyone. Which of the former Enteves, the speaker has already talked everything a hundred times, the topics are known by heart: about four founding fathers, about three letters who mean nothing and do not need to decipher them, about the first and second Chechen wars, Elena Masyuk, well, about the defeat.

Enteves are always silent, and if you enter, for example, their FB chronicles are also silence, scope, a lone photo will occasionally come across, the landscape - into four linear meters of the gray tape, which are equal to about three years of life in terms of space.

What to say? In Kommersant, they made a photo gallery, in RIA too. Once again, you can consider an analog photograph of the founding fathers. The older generations still recognize Dobrodeev with Kiselev on her, sometimes, if with a hint, Malashenko, and who fourth, even the elders do not remember. One has long ruled state television and broadcasting, the other - a free consultant, the third seemed to have recently quit from the Ukrainian television channel, about the fourth is generally unknown. And none of this quartet has nothing to do with NTV for a long time, since the beginning of the century.

How much water has flowed since then. Seven options for the logo, six general directors, nine “channel votes”. The basic colors-and those times changed: either green, then blue-green, then a tricolor, black-orange, about the ball generally silent, no one except the olders, as if it were a symbol, as if.

What scores can Mikhail Lesin with NTV-4 have? What to divide?

Over the 20 years, at least four versions of the channel have changed - NTV with Gusinsky, NTV with Yordan, NTV with Senkevich, NTV and Kulistikov - and in each experts will find more species and subspecies. Early culustees are not late for you, but there are also culustees-demys, season-2011/22, when everything was unclear, unstead, in the south of Zarnitsa, in the north of the city and gnashing the tooth, in the installation anonymous patriots finish the “anatomy of protest”, and in the studio, Alexei Pivovarov, meanwhile, puts on the air an sympathetic reporting of the Swamp. Some employees shoot about Yu. Luzhkov, “The Case in Kepka”, while others tell him on the air of the “NTVshniki” tok-wing words. It seems that when the weather became more stable, the channel leveled out, got rid of the excess (NTVshnikov, and not from the authors of the “cap and anatomy”) and became more definitely. But not the fact that it is completely: temperature fluctuations, experts say, are possible.

There were respectively different waves of refugees with NTV, recently, one of them recalled the golden age of Nikolai Kartosia.

Refugees are usually silent for years and a half, then they begin to give interviews, then they write columns or books; Then other refugees are with stories, and the third in the meantime came to publish memoirs. Now the last wave has not yet been released by the vow of silence, and the old has nothing to tell, how much it can be about the same NTV, the first.

NTV already in its last, fourth, hypostasis exists longer than in that first.

And everyone has long been accustomed to this last type of NTV, well, the channel and the channel. If without backstory, but asking a person to be unbiased - like a "life", well, they recently fought with God, right? You can follow this link , there the lively “Bozena attacks” and five jubilant stories about her plus a criminal case - that is, what is the channel in front of us? Not even Lifeyuz - a small sad troll in search of heat.

And now tell me an unbiased person that this is the flagship of national broadcasting, the Namba Van television company, which now and then overtakes the first ratings.

Although this is understandable. It is not clear what individual experts are trying to look out there-they say something is still warming in the ruins of “Central Television”, although this is not “central television” and even not “CT” -2, this is some kind of “CT” 2.1.

In general, the NTV-5 with Mikhail Lesin begins, the veterans said that he, when he was the Minister of Press, was a large NTV warning-well, now as chairman of Gazprom-Media will play. Or, conversely, they will play on it. So it was already: NTV Alfred Kokh in 2001 was appointed head of Gazprom-Media-and, in general, it is not known to whom this was punishment, NTV or him. But this was when it was. And now what? What scores can Mikhail Lesin with NTV-4 have? What to divide?

All this for so long, not with them, not with us, not with this NTV.

This NTV does not particularly celebrate anything. Fifteen, I remember, noted , but now it’s quiet. No ethereal events. On the channel’s website, a neat composition of the chief editor of the information service hangs under the apocryphal heading “Revelation of Tatyana Mitkova” . In addition to him, there were 2 (two) news plots. One for 6 minutes, the other for 4. In a long, aimed stands of different reporters of the channel of different years are cut through a comma. The short -shorter text behind the scenes: “There were successes, failures, the channel scolded, praised, the company changed, the general directors, journalists, faces of the channel came and left, closed and launched new programs and programs.” If you are not too lazy - click , listen to what intonation the author says this, that is, he speaks without intonation, through a comma, neither health nor rest.
