The Vremya program first aired on the USSR Central Television on January 1, 1968. The founder is Yuri Letunov, who by that time was the editor-in-chief of the Mayak radio station, created with his participation. The name "Vremya" was chosen for a long time by the editorial board. Who insisted on it is unknown, but the program could be called, for example, "In the lens." The very first issues were published without announcers. Correspondents live from the scene passed the floor to each other.

A couple of weeks after the launch of the program, it was decided to expand the format and introduce speakers. The first broadcast was conducted by Anna Shatilova and Evgeny Suslov.“Usually, all editorial offices submitted applications to the announcer department within a week and indicated the name of the program and the announcer they want. I go to the board where our schedule is posted. And suddenly I see the program "Time". I run into the next room to the dispatcher who made this schedule, and ask: “What is it written? Suslov and I have the program "Time". And they answer me: “I don’t know. An application for you from the editorial office of the information came"

The program "Time" becomes colored
In 1970, the Vremya program was first published in color.“I remember the first color report, although there was nothing like that. I filmed an exhibition of the Wanderers, which was in the Tretyakov Gallery. And when I shot the report, they showed the film, about forty people crowded into the editing room, although eight people can go there. Everyone looked, and everyone did not believe. The operator with whom I shot was asked: “How is it? And what is it? Zhora Hakobyan, who was in charge of all our technical support, had such pride on his face, because he was also involved in this.”

Why editors licked the film
“Do you know what we did? In order to understand where the film is glossy and where the mat is, I'm only talking about Svema, we had to lick it. Well, you understand, mat - it stuck, but no gloss. We understood that it was a glossy side, and glued it together. And I had a terrible experience. I was in a hurry, in a hurry, didn’t see something, in general, I glued it the other way around. We had a big TV, we all watched our stories. And suddenly, on the air, I see that my whole delegation, which arrived to celebrate some kind of anniversary, greets with their left hand. I glued everything wrong, it turned out to be a SLR. Here you go, I was all left-handed. In my opinion, it was the delegation of the GDR. And one more time I made a mistake, I also turned the film over, at the congress. The profile of our Ilyich always looked from left to right, but for me he looked the other way around. They didn’t fire me for this either, they scolded me, they told me to be more careful. ”Natalya Rodionova, director of the editing of the program "Vremya" Back to the past Back to the past

Two-way eternal communication
At Kamchatka and at the Arbat, over the Angara rapids A mournful exhalation: the guys died., Like a requiem over the country. Not one - no matter how crowned - will return to his home at last. On three hearts, big, human. There are fewer hearts in Russia. And what a heavy burden for people to whom they were just Vitya and just Gosh, just Glory - in recent days. Oh, the Matrosovs of rocket launch sites! You left us your charter: even in space - without flinching, die in the workplace. How many uncaptured pillboxes are in the sky! And as long as humanity exists. the flame of future starships will be an eternal flame in your honor. You are immortal, like the exclamation: "There is a flame!" And it is not true that the connection was interrupted: Between our Motherland and you is a two-way eternal connection.E. YEVTUSHENKO. Back to the past Back to the past

We are sitting in the editing room and do not understand what to do. We run out of the back door of the TV center, we try to run to the railway station, the shooting starts, the bullets fly, they say: "Lie down." We went to bed. I remember my white raincoat, and I'm crawling through this October mud. We almost crawled to the railway station. Came home. Parents say, you know, they set fire to a television center there. Yes, I know, I just escaped from there, but I didn’t tell them how terrible it all was there.Anton Vernitsky, commentator of the department of correspondents of the Vremya program Back to the past Back to the past

We were all very happy that Vremya was returned to us.Alexander Onosovsky, in the 1990s - correspondent for the Vremya program. Back to the past Back to the past

Ekaterina Andreeva came to the channel in 1991, since 1997 she has been the permanent host of the Vremya program. In 2007, she won the TEFI award in the nomination "News Program Host".
Back to the past Back to the pastSince March 2008, the Vremya program has been coming out of the huge studio, which used to be the concert hall of the Ostankino television center. The room was rebuilt in such a way that the presenter could be filmed from all sides, and behind him the viewer sees screens with current news and several rows of workplaces for editorial staff. In this studio, the programs "Time" and "News" are produced, starting at 9 o'clock in the morning. The design of the studio was developed by the chief artist of Channel One, Dmitry Likin.
Since November 2017, the premises have been under reconstruction, the Vremya program comes out of the Good Morning studio.
In February 2014, the Winter Olympic Games were held in Russia. During this period, the studios of several programs, including Vremya, moved to Sochi. The grand opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was organized by Konstantin Ernst as a scriptwriter and general producer.
Back to the pastUnfortunately for those who believed that Ekaterina Andreeva was leaving Channel One, this information was only partially confirmed. The TV presenter will still lead the program “Time”, but at the same time she will appear on the screen much less often.
Ekaterina Andreeva has been working as the host of the Vremya information program for more than 20 years. Many viewers are already beginning to get bored with the TV presenter flickering on the screen. According to some reports, Channel One receives many messages demanding that 56-year-old Andreeva be removed from the air.
Recently there was a message that Ekaterina would stop appearing in news releases in the European part of the country. Most Internet users were delighted with this news: “Thank God, a human face and speech will now be on the screen”, “When Andreeva is on the air, Rosenthal and Ozhegov are spinning in a coffin like dynamos”, “Well, finally, there was enough on the First Mind remove this Shapoklyak from the TV”, “Only Fadeev on Sundays can be worse than Andreeva.”
The place of the TV presenter will be taken by Kirill Kleymanov, who previously held the position of head of the Channel One Information Programs Directorate. According to the press service of the TV channel, Ekaterina Andreeva and Vitaly Eliseev will become the hosts of the Saturday editions of the program, and will also try to broadcast news in other time zones.
Ekaterina Andreeva has already commented on her reduction in the broadcast schedule: “My“ Time ”cannot end - from the Volga to the Yenisei - I lead“ Time ”to the whole country, - the TV presenter replied about her departure. - And Moscow, as you know, is not the whole of Russia. All of Russia is much larger than Moscow, ”the Anews portal quotes the TV presenter.
“Vremya” is the main information program on the still leading federal channel, so a person who daily tells the whole country about important news must have a number of certain qualities. Judging by the gossip that roams the net, the host's candidacy is approved at the highest level. Despite numerous demands to remove Andreeva from the air, she still remains at work. Apparently, the TV presenter has influential patrons “at the top”.
According to the BBC, they decided to cut Andreeva because of her difficult relationship with the channel's CEO Konstantin Ernst. “In 2009, the media reported that he had already made the decision to fire Andreeva. When the information reached Vladimir Putin, he canceled these decisions and everything was returned to normal. Andreeva is his favorite presenter, ”says the Russian press service of the foreign TV channel.
Three emoji with air kisses - this is how TV presenter Ekaterina Andreeva responded to the request of one of her Instagram subscribers to return to the Vremya program.
“My“ Time ”cannot end - from the Volga to the Yenisei - I lead“ Time ”to the whole country. And Moscow, as you know, is not all of Russia. All of Russia is much bigger than Moscow!” Andreeva said.
Meanwhile, the press service of Channel One said that Andreeva will continue to work in the Vremya program: she does not leave the channel, but only leaves the “European orbit” of the news program for a while. According to the head of the press service of the First Channel, Larisa Krymova, the reason for the statement was rumors that Andreeva would stop hosting the popular program, which she had hosted for more than two decades.
Together with TV presenter Vitaly Eliseev, Andreeva will host the Saturday editions of Vremya and try the studio in other time zones of Russia. RT .

“It was very interesting to change in the frame, especially with such a super-team of stylists,” said Ekaterina Andreeva, host of the Vremya program. It's almost like a time machine. It was also an opportunity for me to express my love and respect for the people who ran this program for 30 years before me. The result made me very happy.”

Program history Time
Program " Time” was founded in 1967 by a well-known radio and television journalist Yuri Letunov. The first issue was released on January 1, 1968 on the First Program of Central Television. Vremya was originally published in black and white, but switched to color in 1970. From 1968 to 1978 the program was released only once a day, at 21:00. Correspondents covered current news of the country and the world, cultural events, sports competitions. Back in the 70s, the first editions of the weather forecast appeared.
In 1978, the First program began to repeat the evening news in the morning. On January 1, 1982, after the Second Program also became all-Union, Vremya began to be broadcast on both channels.
In 1987, the morning reruns were turned off, and instead of "Time", the morning entertainment news program " 90 minutes". In the same year, a sign language interpreter began to work in the program. The first translator was Nadezhda Kvyatkovskaya.
In 1991, in connection with the ongoing political events in the country, the program changed its name to " TV Inform” and in this form came out until 1994. The name "Time" was returned to her by Vladislav Listyev in 1994. In 1995, the program began to air on the ORT channel (“Public Russian Television”). The Saturday edition was titled " Time with Sergey Dorenko" and was in many respects the author's transfer of a journalist. In the same year, ORT was renamed Channel One, and Vremya became the country's main TV news show.
In 1977, the Vremya program was awarded the USSR State Prize. In 2002, 2006 and 2007, the program received the TEFI award in the Best Information Program nomination.
In 2017, the program turned 50 years old. In honor of this event, Channel One released a comic video in which Ekaterina Andreeva tried on the images of leading different decades, starting from the 60s. For the anniversary, Channel One also published a special project on its website dedicated to the history of the Vremya program: anyone can be transported to the famous studio using an interactive panorama and go on a journey through time.
“I am glad that at the evening meetings that complete our working day and where our work for the day is summed up, I usually have a reason to tell my colleagues that they are the best information team in the country. I am grateful to everyone who gave a part of themselves to make this program better. I want to believe that, unlike the human half-century anniversary, the Vremya program will definitely meet many more dates and celebrate its centenary. She has already proven that she knows the secret of eternal youth. And in the new year she will leave the new studio, equipped with the most incredible modern technologies, which she will be the first to try on on domestic television, ”said the Deputy General Director, Director of the Information Programs Directorate of Channel One Kirill Kleymenov.

One of the first presenters of the program was Soviet and Russian television record holder Igor Kirillov. He began broadcasting news at a young age, winning an announcer competition shortly after joining TV. Kirillov led the program until 1989. Later it was replaced Nonna Bodrova and Anna Shatilova.
Igor Kirillov: “In September 1957, an announcer competition was held on television and I was offered to take part in it. There were no men among TV announcers in those years - only women. And to conduct the "Latest News", which went twice a day, male announcers were invited from the radio. I prepared for the competition quite thoroughly - I almost learned half of the Pravda newspaper by heart. After the announcement of the results of the competition, I headed out of the studio in full confidence that I still had at least two weeks left. At the door I ran into Zakharov, one of the oldest television directors. He blocked my way and asked where I was going. “You have the broadcast of Latest News in two hours! How the graduation went, I did not remember with fear. In memory of the first days of my work, a photograph has been preserved: eyes full of horror and rearing hair. That is how my acting life began.
Vitaly Eliseev, presenter from 2007 to the present: “First of all, this is Work with a capital letter, to which you give most of your time. Because, even if you are on a weekend, you still watch the Vremya program. You will not be able to fall out of the information field. Watch all episodes. And at work ... this is, firstly, study. Every day I learn something new. Every day I try to change something in myself a little. Of course, this is communication with amazing people who have seen the whole world, unlike me, and have tremendous experience in journalism. For me, communication with people who speak the word is the most precious thing.”
