The appearance of experts in programs marked “Live” simultaneously on two Russian TV channels is due to the fact that there are many time zones in Russia. about this . told RSN Deputy Mikhail Starshinov , who also appeared in these two episodes of the program,

“I find it difficult to give any professional comments, as far as I understand, the broadcasts go to different time zones, and which of them is considered direct? Many television programs broadcast live, although in fairness it must be said that this live broadcast is only broadcast to the Far East. But in our time zone, can we call it a live broadcast what is being shown here, which was already shown six or four hours ago in the Far East?” - said the parliamentarian.

There are not too many live broadcasts precisely for this reason, Starshinov noted. He also emphasized that he does not believe that this can be called a mistake. "What mistake? A mistake is if they tell me that I said something, and then they considered that what I said was a mistake. You are asking me questions concerning purely technical things,” the deputy said.
