in Russia on May 19 began broadcasting public television. Experts, however, doubt its independence, given the purely budgetary funding. In exchange for public funding authorities gained control of the channel. In particular, the Council of Public Television will say personally Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Chairman of the Independent mediaprofsoyuza Ukraine Yuriy Lukanov is convinced that Ukrainians “ripe” to pay for their information independence. In many European countries there is public television by license fees paid by viewers.

“The time has come some changes, and people are willing to support your purse independent public television station,” – says Lukanov. According to him, when uncontrolled power channel TVi had financial problems, the indifferent spectators financially supported TV channel, which has proved to be impartial.

In his view, the Ukrainians agreed to pay for a truly independent public broadcaster the amount that they pay for a cable TV package (which is from 50 to 100 hryvnia per month).

Lukanov also believes that it is not necessary to create a public TV channel on the basis of state dispenser. “There should be a new field for the game,” – he said.

The document expressly prohibits interference in the editorial policy of the public broadcaster, Public Broadcasting, said the bill will be guided in the work approved by the editorial charter and program policy, said one of its authors, the deputy from the “Fatherland” Andriy Shevchenko .

However, Attorney-folding suggests that the adoption of one of those bills – a distant prospect. “This week, Parliament had to consider these bills. Just three days ago, they were on the agenda of the Verkhovna Rada. Now strangely disappeared”, – says the lawyer. He suggests that the reason for delay is the difficult political situation in Ukraine.
