Inflexibility in the body

Tomsk TV2 television company is at risk of closing due to the fact that signalmen cannot eliminate the accident within a month. This was reported on the company's website

The television company has not been aired since April 19. Employees of the regional radio -television transfer center established that a feeder has broken - a device according to which the direction of electromagnetic waves from the source to the consumer (for example, to the antenna) is carried out. Currently, TV2 TV channel can be watched on cable television and on the Internet.

On May 15, the television company received an order from Roskomnadzor. “In the order, we are convincingly asked to eliminate violations on the period until May 20, 2014 that we do not carry out broadcasting on the air for almost a month,” explained the editor -in -chief of the television company Viktor Mushkik. According to him, signalmen promise to eliminate the accident only in early June.

In Roskomnadzor, they call not to look for a policy in what happened. This was made to understand the official representative of the department Vadim Ampelonsky.

The first president of the Russian Television Academy Vladimir Pozner in an interview with Echo of Moscow called the situation absurd. In his opinion , the authorities are trying to get rid of an independent television company.

The situation in which TV2 got the TV channel shows how far Russian legislation is far from real life, the secretary of the Union of Russian Journalists Pavel Gutionov said. The claims of Roskomnadzor are unfounded, he said.

The head of the Presidential Council for Human Rights, Mikhail Fedotov, notes that the channel cannot fulfill its obligations due to force majeure. He did not exclude that this could be an attempt by a raider seizure.

On Tuesday, a picket will be held in support of the television company on Novo-Sobornaya Square. "We want to attract Tomskie's attention to what is happening so that people know that the only independent and best regional television company can stop broadcasting for a while or forever, unknown so far, but definitely not their fault. I think that this is in the context of the general twisting of the nuts and the general restriction of freedom of speech in the country," said the picket organizer Sergey Maltsev.

“TV2 television company is one of the most famous Russian television companies that recently celebrated its twentieth anniversary,” said Arina Borodina, an independent television facilities. She recalled that it was thanks to TV2 in many cities of Russia and in Europe that the Immortal Regiment was held when people took to the streets with photographs of the dead relatives and friends.

At the end of January, the broadcasting of the Rain television channel was stopped by all major Russian operators - Rostelecom, Vimpelcom, Akado, NTV Plus and Tricolor TV. This is about 85 percent of the channel audience. The reason for the disconnection was a survey conducted live the television channel: the audience was asked to answer the question whether it was worth passing Leningrad to the Nazis in order to save its inhabitants. Some of the operators explained the disconnection of the channel with disagreement with the business model of “rain”, which agreed with them about a paid broadcast, others - the reaction of the audience to the survey.

On April 1, the head of the rain, Natalya Sindeeva, said that the channel would have to reduce the production of programs . In addition, the rain began a campaign to raise funds that would help the channel work further. As a result, he managed to raise funds for an additional 50 days of ether. But then the TV channel had other problems - the tax service began checking for it, and the tenant suddenly asked to release the premises, which the channel occupied on Red October.

On April 17, during the "Direct Line", President Vladimir Putin stood up for the "rain" . “If the result that rain does not go to the screens, there were some checks and excess attention of these all the regulatory authorities, then I will do everything for my part to save you from such excessive attention,” Putin said. He emphasized that “rain” is “an interesting television channel with a good young team, but made certain mistakes that offended a large number of our citizens.” “We must admit this, in fact, you have already done it, and see how to get out of this situation,” Putin said.
