"... And I like public television" - A look

Andrei Maximov, journalist, broadcaster, playwright

very bad headline to this column. Not flashy. Without imagination. I understand, I understand … But I leave. Because they want to state their position – this time. A two – in this very letter “A”, that is, in a protest. Like, you do not like it, but I – yes.

«Win-win: star glamor, which eliminates human right to water, which she considers pure»

Public opinion, where does it, who knows? There is no society, and the opinion he has, how is this happening? For example, I do not understand. And here was I seem lately that the public does not like the new public television, has just kicked off on May 19. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe effect on me separate performances of individual critics. Maybe casual conversations: one said that, well, bad, second, third … And now, a sense of public opinion, but it was something they just three people.

I’ll read that OTP – it is like television yesterday. Personally, I own my own eyes could not break away from the program “Non-standard model” – there talking about the brain amazing things. And under the heading “On the verge of madness” smart people, led by a very intelligent leading intelligent conversations were about the psyche. Of course, not modern.

Modern – this is when they yell about the election of the mayor of Moscow. Or even about something. The modern genre: chants. Smart and not much people shout “for the policy” – this is true. And when Sergei Nikolaevich in the “Cultural Exchange” talks, including with interesting cultural figures from the province – it’s like? Do not shout, do not shout, calmly discuss … Not all fans of the genre “chants” stand.

Here because here’s the thing … Many people think that the public – this is when the conditional Ryzhkov argues with conditional Spring pro gay contingent. This is our way! In public! And then you can for a glass discuss all this sitting at home, to understand who is who punched (and crashed always our “their language”, it is understandable), and go to sleep.

leaders OTP Anatoly Lysenko, Alexander Ponomarev, Sergei Arkhipov decided that the public – then about the country. I think that this is the first on our TV channel that small-town life is more than the capital.

Those channels that protest, they are glamorous characters take to themselves as the leading – that cursed. Well, to come to them to some people, and the glamorous character to ask him: “Why are you all so unfair, eh?” – Such questioning to be. This we now have such an interview.

Win-win: star glamor, which eliminates human right to water, which she considers pure … This, perhaps, is the modern TV?

OTP risks. I, for one, am not convinced that our country is our country interesting. Glamorous star is interesting to know exactly. But the heroes of stories OTR – a man who breeds horses, or grandmother of a remote village, or a person trying to make medicine for schizophrenia – not sure. We are in fact very much like to see the vulgarity, and then scold her. Are we ready to television without vulgarity? I have no answer.

Are people ready to watch the news story about the bus that goes round in a provincial town food homeless? I stand as a frame when three friends, beaten, spifflicate man holds in his trembling hands a bowl of soup. I repeat: this is not a frame of the film, it is shot out of the news.

Some critics curse: they say, is irrelevant. Because actually, apparently, this is where some believe that a family can be with anyone, others – only with those to whom we will determine. And then they fight and separates the police. And sometimes we seriously think that this is life.

A

OTP says that life – is another. This is what happens in the provincial cities, where people are very concerned about others. They have passion and boil and simmer very differently about it. And no one but the OTP did not show.

Once one actor asked the director: “Tell me, what is more important: how the actor or that he says his role? The essence or technique? “Director said:” For me it is important to not that and how, and who. ” For me too, it is important who. The head of OTP Anatoly Lysenko – a man who enjoys the respect of all the TV personalities. I emphasize all.

But we in fact how? We’ve professional authority person does not even guarantee that the fact that this man does, will be taken at least with respect. A Lysenko knows what he’s doing. He and his friends make television about people. Not about politics, not about issues, but about the people. That is politics, and the problem is, of course, but they are shown through people.

Persons such as the OTP in the news, I very rarely see on other channels.

I love leading the new channel. And the well-known, such as Andrei Norkin or Sergey, and unknown to me, even by name. There is almost no talking heads. It is seen that people who lead the program – is held, interesting, intelligent personality. In this phrase, the key word – personality. They are fun to watch.

Most conversations about OTR me personally annoying when they start to say that it is for the elderly. First, it is not. And, secondly, even a pity that it is not. Why this neglect of the elderly? Why, if for young people – this is great, and if for the elderly – sucks? Because after all, in essence, that the youth is much more creditworthy, and therefore more interesting. That is, you first need to pay people a tiny pension, and then say that nothing, including the TV, they do not. This is a normal logic?

Sorry, got distracted.

I think that we wanted to see OTR so we wanted to see him. We had some idea of ??what it must have been some kind of mold, and we are applying it to a new television – and not the same. It is impossible. Something else comes out.

OTP – is not no outdated, not provincial – another label – TV. This is another TV. The key word in that sentence – other.

It requires the viewer a different focus and a different interest. It is not necessary to verify the other channels and do not need to be assessed.

OTP is not perfect. Clear. It is just beginning. But, in my humble opinion, it moves at the right and clear the road. The way that I see it as complicated as it is necessary.

And I’m terribly interested in how and where the team, led by powerful professionals will move on it.
