Antonov:

– Edward M., to see if your creative path, then you started with all of the central television Soviet Union and by all progressive. Today we remember 1993, it was possible to remember a wonderful TV-6 Moscow, you were heading. You have seen all the milestones. But if you talk now about our television, on the set of TV channels, when you see it all, you feel debilitated?

Sagalaev:

– No, no, everything is progressing as it is necessary, in my opinion. Well, of course, anything can happen, and there are setbacks, but overall our TV is perfect because we have more than 300 channels now, including cable and satellite. Such a change I could not have imagined in those years when I started to work when there were only 2 or 3 channels. Was this anecdote – “See, I told you popereklyuchayu» …

Antonov:

– Yes, it happened when one channel showed Leonid Brezhnev.

Sagalaev:

– Yes. Well, now, too, something like we sometimes encounter, but, nevertheless, television in general is outstanding. That’s enough to remember the last action of the First Channel “Together” when helping the Far East. This is the only TV can do.

Antonov:

– Yes, more then one question. Do not you think that with the abundance of channels, with an abundance of diverse content of their own notions, it is not so much, all foreign licensed, purchased.

Sagalaev:

– Well, I guess …

Antonov:

– After all, you remember. KVN – this is our case, we came up with. “Look,” “What? Where? When “. And now buy a license and Spahr already tried and tested.

Sagalaev:

– Well, you know, this is obvious, but it’s a little bit. And most importantly, what can we make of this their product. Here’s “The Voice”, for example. This is our product. No matter, we bought a license or not. Or is there a program Jakubowicz “Field of Dreams.” She, too, as if borrowed, but it has already become traditional, Russia. So I do not see this as a big trouble if we use there some achievements of the West. They also have to buy formats.

Antonov:

– Edward M., once again happy birthday! New state awards to you, and then from the receipt of the last lot of time has passed already. We congratulate and kowtow for what you are doing. Thank you!
