General producer of Match TV Tina Kandelaki denied information that the channel she heads is close to bankruptcy. Earlier, this idea was expressed by channel commentator Gennady Orlov, Sovetsky Sport reports .
Kandelaki denied this information is not true.” I hear so much information from so many people... But we need to check the facts. It always helps. They talk about us every day, this has never happened before. But a very large percentage of the information does not correspond to the facts,” she said. According to Kandelaki, she does not quarrel with her employees, so she sees no point in talking about bad relations with Orlov.
“You most often know more about our TV channel than I do. And you understand perfectly well that I don’t quarrel with anyone. If someone is useful to the channel, we invite him. I have no personal preferences. If content related to someone is of interest to the viewer, it will be on the channel,” Kandelaki said, noting that at STS they parted ways with employees for publicly criticizing the channel. “But the specifics of the federal channel’s work are just being formed, each of the participants in this incident said that it was a negative experience,” the producer said, joking that she was glad that when speaking about the channel, they did not say about her that “she is old and scary.”
