TV presenter Andrei Malakhov explained the reasons for leaving Channel One, where he had worked for 25 years. Why he made such a decision, the journalist told in an interview with the Kommersant newspaper.

According to him, there was no conflict with the leadership of the channel, which the media wrote about. “I warned the producer for a month. But somehow everyone did not believe, and on the first day of vacation I wrote a statement and a letter to Konstantin Ernst ( CEO of Channel One - Dialog news agency) about "I'm tired, I'm leaving."<…>We had a conversation in which we discussed the future of television and the prospects that may await me in the new season. This conversation was superimposed with the fact that in November I should have a child, and I said that I needed to devote at least a day a week to what I had been dreaming about for a long time. But this whole story is not a conflict with the channel's management. I have deep respect for Konstantin Lvovich [Ernst]. Moreover, he understands what happiness it is to become a father, and that there is life apart from the daily struggle for rating, ”Malakhov said.

The main reason for leaving, he called the desire to develop in the profession - in the new show "Andrey Malakhov. Live ”, which he will conduct on“ Russia 1 ”, the TV presenter will not only work in the frame, but will also become a producer. This, among other things, means that he himself will be able to decide which topics to choose for transmission.

“My relationship with Channel One and my new job are unrelated things. I left the "First" because the time has come. Negotiations with the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company took place in several stages, including with the participation of the producer of the program “Live” on “Russia”, who at one time launched “Big Wash” and “Let them talk,” Alexander Mitroshenkov, ”the journalist noted.

Earlier Monday, StarHit magazine, of which Malakhov is editor-in-chief, his open letter. In it, he thanked all the colleagues with whom he worked on the "First", and jokingly called his transition to "Russia 1" "the first manifestation of the male menopause."

Almost all viewers are already aware that now the TV journalist has become the host of the Live TV program. Previously, as you know, he hosted the talk show "Let them talk."

Channel "Russia 1" has updated the program, and now it is called "Andrey Malakhov. Live". Moreover, Malakhov became not only her host, but also a producer. Moreover, everything was not limited to this, and he will also host the author's television show "Tonight". The TV journalist wrote about this on his page on the social network Instagram.

The devoted fans of the TV journalist again began to wish him success in new TV shows and promised to watch all the TV programs that he hosts without fail, and it doesn’t matter to them which channel will broadcast them.

Relatively recently, presenter Andrey Malakhov explained the reasons why he left Channel One, where he worked for 25 years. On the website of his own edition of Starhit, he published an open farewell appeal to his colleagues on Channel One. In his publication, he not only explained the reasons for such an important decision of his, but also expressed gratitude to each employee.

According to Malakhov, when he turned forty-five years old, the understanding came that you need to go beyond the standard framework, strive for something new, move forward.

An additional impetus was the transfer of the program to another studio.

According to the TV presenter, they called him and made a tempting offer to host a program where he himself would decide what and how to do, and not carry out the tasks of the leadership.

In a farewell letter to Channel One, he thanked all the employees for the common, team work and for the life experience gained.

After another interview, he said that on Channel One they gradually began to “destroy” what he had been building for so long and everything that was dear to him.

“Despite the desire to leave the project, I brought the season to an end, and only then said goodbye.”

Rumors that Andrei Malakhov left Channel One due to the appearance of Natalia Novikova, the TV presenter himself refused to comment.

There were various rumors in society about the reason for Malakhov's departure from the channel: conflicts with management, unstable payment of money, the appearance of Novikova and others.

Andrey said that the salary for "Russia 1" is exactly the same as it was there.

“If you have been watching me and my career growth for a long time, then you know that it is unusual for me to change something and I never wanted to make any new changes, but this time everything is different,” reports Itartass-sib. And I am grateful to fate that she is favorable to me and helps in this, ”Malakhov continues to say.

Ending with a short story.

You know, my presence at the First can be described as follows: “It's like first love, at first you enjoy what is happening, and then it develops into a habit and dullness that does not surprise, does not inspire, and does not even give an incentive to move on. People with less experience, than I have been conducting their projects for a long time, and as I was, I remained an errand boy.

Andrey Malazov, latest news: Malakhov loses ratings

The famous Russian actor Nikolai Burlyaev, "having clicked on all 40 TV channels, could no longer watch and turned off the TV." He is worried that “moral values ​​and patriotism are not in fashion” on the blue screen these days, EG quotes him.

The artist has already talked with Malakhov and Korchevnikov more than once, asking them questions why they are digging in dirty linen, for which they pull it out on the screens every evening. And in response I heard the same thing - "People are watching."

After the personnel reshuffle on the “first button”, many wondered who would take the main place on the “Let them talk” program and where the presenter himself would go. They even gossiped about Malakhov's maternity leave. And he replaced Boris Korchevnikov in the talk show "Live".

All the rumors about the fate of the two TV presenters significantly increased the ratings of the channels. Just for how long.

Andrey Malakhov explained the reasons for his departure from the country's main TV channel. The ex-leader of Channel One said that he was tired of "reading from a piece of paper" and had long grown to produce his own show.

According to him, he is tired of being "leading in the ear" and he has long had something to say to the audience without prompting.

"It's like in family life: at first there was love, then it turned into a habit, and at some point it's a marriage of convenience," he said frankly in an interview with the Kommersant newspaper.

Therefore, the TV presenter wanted to take the initiative into his own hands. “I want to grow up, become a producer, a person who makes decisions, including determining what my program is about, and does not give up my whole life and looks like a puppy in the eyes of people changing during this time. The TV season is over, I decided that you need to close this door and try yourself in a new capacity in a new place," he continued.

At the same time, Malakhov did not comment on the rumors that the main reason for his departure was the conflict with producer Natalya Nikonova. She came up with "Let them talk", and then she left for 9 years at the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company and returned to "First" only this year.

“I have always believed that in love and dislike you need to be consistent. It is unusual for me to change my set of beliefs as if by magic. This is where I will end the story,” he said.

The presenter assured that parting with the "First" did not affect his relationship with its leader Konstantin Ernst. Like, he realized that Andrei, due to life circumstances (in November, the host will have his first child), will not be able to devote much time to the project and let him go in peace.

However, Malakhov did not hide the fact that he sent a statement by the Russian Post, and sent his representative to negotiate with Ernst on the extension of his contract.

The TV presenter signed a new cooperation agreement with the Rossiya TV channel. He will head the "Live broadcast", which was previously handled by Boris Korchevnikov.

By the way, the latter, in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda, said that the era of his "Live broadcast" was over. "The program that will be released in its place will be different. But it will retain everything that made "Live" successful and loved by the audience," he said.

Malakhov himself confirmed that with him, part of the “Let them talk” team moved to the second channel in the country. So, new airs will be produced together with Alexander Mitroshenkov, who previously also did the "Big Wash". But even here, the decisive word will remain with Malakhov.

"My wife calls me boss baby. It is clear that television is a team story, but the final word is with the producer," he concluded.

With his former colleagues, the TV presenter has already published an open letter.

On July 30, Russian media reported that Andrey Malakhov was leaving Channel One and would no longer host one of the most popular talk shows, Let Them Talk. Many Internet users who found out about this at first could not even believe that it was true. Whether this information is true and how far it has not yet been possible to find out: every day a variety of assumptions appear on the network about the reasons for the quarrel between the showman and the channel's producers, as well as the names of possible candidates for Malakhov's place and even versions that the scandal is all just PR. We understand.

Blame it on a new producer and political themes

According to the BBC, Andrey Malakhov decided to leave after returning to "Let them talk" producer Natalia Nikonova. She has extensive experience in television, collaborated with many major television companies, including Channel One. Twice became the owner of TEFI.

Nikonova directed the special projects of Channel One, was the producer of "Let them talk", "Malakhov +", "Lolita. Without complexes" and "Judge for yourself."

We once had a crazy live broadcast on which I was sitting at the director's console. At some point, Andrei and I reached such agitation that he could not stand my screams in the "ear" and yelled directly at the camera: "Stop it, Natasha!" - and put his hand forward, as if pushing me away with my instructions. It's good that there was a scream in the studio and no one noticed our squabble. In general, I admire Andrey's professionalism. Even without a director, he feels with the back of his head who to turn to,

- this is how Natalya spoke about Malakhov in one of her interviews 10 years ago.

Now that Nikonova has returned, she is allegedly going to change the vector of the program and focus on socio-political issues. It is believed that this categorically did not suit Malakhov and he decided to voluntarily leave the channel, where he worked for more than 15 years.

The insider assures that Nikonova is going to work precisely in the political direction, since very soon, in 2018, presidential elections will be held. "Let them talk" is one of the most rated programs, it has a large audience coverage, and this guarantees greater involvement of viewers in topics of this kind.

Who will get the role of the host "Let them talk"?

With the departure of Andrei Malakhov, a completely reasonable question arose: "Who will replace the TV presenter?" There are several candidates for the position. The first on the list of applicants was Dmitry Borisov, the host of Evening News on Channel One, where he has been working for a little over 10 years. Dmitry is a multiple winner of major awards.

The network is also discussing information that Malakhov will be replaced by Boris Korchevnikov, who collaborated with NTV for a long time, then switched to Rossiya, where he began to host a similar Live broadcast program. It is believed that he will do an excellent job with his duties, because he understands the specifics of working on a talk show.

Among the applicants was Dmitry Shepelev, who came to Channel One in 2008. Then he was the host of the program "Can you? Sing." After that, he became the host of several more programs - "Minute of Glory", "Catch up before midnight", "Two Voices" and "Property of the Republic".

Rumor has it that Krasnoyarsk TV presenter Alexander Smol is aiming to replace Malakhov. He is working on the New Morning program on TVK. The broadcast brought popularity to the journalist, during which he congratulated the officials on the fact that they themselves raised their salaries. The host's irony was appreciated by YouTube users.

PR?

There is nothing surprising in the fact that a version that is quite predictable for television about Malakhov's departure is being put forward. Netizens believe that Channel One wants to increase its own ratings in an already "dead" season, when there are no major events as such, and interest in the program and specifically in Andrey must be permanently maintained.

There is an opinion that the creators of the program are not going to let Malakhov go, but as soon as the passions around this story subside, they will hush everything up under the guise of the usual misunderstanding and misinformation. Although many experts agree that Channel One would not have taken such a step, because nothing like this has ever been observed behind it.

Malakhov's new place of work

While some are arguing about the reasons for Malakhov's departure and discussing almost conspiracy theories, others are worried about where the most rated TV presenter of Russian television will go now? According to one version, Andrey is going to go to the competitor of the First - VGTRK. He will broadcast "Live", hosted by Boris Korchevnikov.

Moreover, together with Malakhov, a whole group of specialists plans to quit with Let They Talk. But the insider assures that no statements of resignation have been received from anyone. And while Malakhov is on vacation, it’s quite difficult to understand how things really are.

But Andrew receives a lot of offers. So, for example, the Spartak hockey club invited the TV presenter to host home matches by issuing an official letter.

Spartak is seriously concerned about incoming information about the possible departure from Channel One of the popular TV presenter Andrei Malakhov,

the club wrote on its official Twitter account.

"I want to grow"

Andrey Malakhov explained the departure from Channel One

TV presenter Andrey Malakhov said that his departure from Channel One was due to a desire for professional growth. He stated this in an interview with the Kommersant newspaper.

“I want to grow up, become a producer, a person who makes decisions, including determining what my program is about, and does not give up my whole life and look like a puppy in the eyes of people changing during this time. The TV season is over, I decided that I needed to close this door and try myself in a new capacity in a new place, ”Malakhov said. Malakhov did not answer the question about the reasons for the conflict with the producer of Channel One, Natalya Nikonova. “Can I leave this without comment? I have always believed that in love and dislike one must be consistent. It is unusual for me to change my set of beliefs as if by magic. This is where I will end the story,” he said.

Malakhov said that he came to television as a student. “I was fascinated by this big world and started by running for coffee during the day, at night - to the stall for vodka for TV legends. And although you have become a popular TV presenter, you still work with the same people who treat you like the son of a regiment, ”the presenter explained. He added that his colleagues, who came to television much later, are already directing their own projects. “And you still have the same old status. You are expected to be the MC, but you already have something to talk about with your viewers,” he added.

In the publication StarHit, of which Malakhov is the editor-in-chief, he also published an open letter to Konstantin Ernst and the people with whom he worked. In it, the TV presenter said goodbye to his colleagues and personally thanked many of them. “Dear Konstantin Lvovich! 45 years is an important milestone in the life of a man, 25 of them I gave to you and Channel One. These years have become part of my DNA, and I remember every minute that you dedicated to me. Thank you so much for everything that you have done, for the experience that you gave me, for that amazing journey along the television road of life that we went through together, ”Malakhov wrote, referring to the general director of Channel One.

A promo video for Malakhov's new program on the Russia 1 channel, called "Hi, Andrey!", was published on the StarHit YouTube channel.

Recall that on July 31, the media reported that TV presenter Andrei Malakhov was switching from Channel One to VGTRK. According to the BBC Russian Service, the transition could be due to the fact that the channel's management decided to add political topics to its talk show, although the program had previously specialized in discussing the social agenda and show business. The initiator of the change of agenda was the producer Natalya Nikonova, who has been working on the program since May.
