In mid-September, viewers learned that the program was leaving Channel One « Wait for me» . One of the most popular programs on Russian television for 19 years helped people from different parts of the world find each other.
Then an announcement appeared on the project website: “The program“ Wait for me ”will no longer be aired on Channel One. But the work continues. We are accepting applications for search and looking for people. Follow the news on our website and in groups in social networks!
The audience took the sad news with bitterness and disappointment. They bombarded TV presenters and the VID company with questions about what the future of the program would be.

Lyubimov also expressed his views on the reasons for the refusal of Channel One from the program Wait for Me:
"Times change. The priorities of the First Channel have noticeably shifted towards entertainment programs. This is the main reason for the transition "Wait for me" to another federal channel. They became NTV, which has really changed a lot in two years. New projects bring people together and often make them think about something very important. First of all, this is the project “You are super!”, which, in my opinion, has become an event of this year. That is why NTV, in the form and with the content strategy that it is focused on today, is the best platform for Wait for Me.
The producer expressed confidence that the program “Wait for me” on the NTV channel would begin a new bright life.
Alexander LyubimovThe audience enthusiastically accepted the good news and hurried to leave words of support:
"Hooray! I miss this program so much! Looking forward to it”, “This is great news! I still continue to be your assistant in the search!”, “Great! How many people will regain the hope of meeting!”, “Hurrah! Good luck, beloved show! Looking forward to it no matter what! (The spelling and punctuation of the authors are preserved. - Approx. ed.).
Representatives of the program said that in the coming days they will announce the release date. The project team thanked all concerned viewers for staying close by.
Hello.
Unfortunately, almost every person is familiar with one misfortune - the loss of communication with people close to him: good acquaintances, friends, relatives. Despite the fact that now is the age of information technology, finding the right person is far from easy ...
This is probably why the national service for the mutual search for people appeared in Russia - “Wait for me” (there are also programs of the same name on TV screens, in which, by the way, you can see people who are wanted).
It is clear that it is simply impossible to show everyone who is wanted on TV, there will not be enough air time! That is why, there is a site where you can find information of interest, this is what this article will be about.
The article is designed more for novice users ...
Step-by-step instructions: how to see who is looking for you in "Wait for me"
Website address: http://poisk.vid.ru/
Let's consider all the actions in order.
1) First, we type in the address bar of the browser the address of the site "Wait for me" ( http://poisk.vid.ru/) or follow the link of the same name (see a little higher in the article under the heading).
2) Right in the center of the screen (the location of the search bar may vary slightly depending on the browser) - there will be a search form. In the form you need to fill in the last name and first name of the person you are looking for (in this case, your first and last name), then click the “ find" button (see Fig. 1).
Rice. 1. Wait for Me - National Mutual Search Service
3) If there are people at your request, you will see a list of all those who are wanted. Perhaps you will be among them ... By the way, in addition to the last name and first name, the date of birth of the person is also displayed, the text of the person who is looking for him.
Some profiles may still be under moderation, so there will be no description for them.
4) If the last name and first name of the person you are looking for are very common (Petrov, Ivanov, Sidorov, etc.), then it is possible that the search will give out just a huge database of wanted people. To refine the search criteria, you can use the search form on the left in the site column (left sidebar):
Indicate the date of birth (at least the estimated range);
The gender of the person;
Select sorting type (see Fig. 3).
5) By the way, I will give one small piece of advice. You can write the last name and first name in both uppercase and lowercase letters - the search engine is not case sensitive. But the choice of language is very important! Therefore, first look for the right person in Russian, and then, if you don’t find it, try to fill in the search for his first and last name in Latin (sometimes it helps).
I also want to add. If you are looking for a person - you can leave your application on the site "Wait for Me". To do this, you need to register on the site, and then submit an application: the more accurately and more data you provide on the person you are looking for, the greater the chances of success (see Fig. 4).
Rice. 4. Leave a request
This concludes the article. It would be good for no one, ever, no one and nothing to lose ...
We are grateful to the First for the fact that almost 20 years ago its producers believed in the then still crude project and supported it.
All these years, the program "Wait for me" was released on a weekly basis, not only in Russia. Studios "Wait for me" worked in Yerevan, Chisinau, Minsk, Astana, Kyiv. Special issues for Ukraine and Kazakhstan continue to be aired to this day. Together we managed to find more than 200 thousand people.
But times are changing. The priorities of the First Channel have noticeably shifted towards entertainment programs. This is the main reason for the transition "Wait for me" to another federal channel.
They became NTV, which has really changed a lot in two years. New projects bring people together and often make them think about something very important. First of all, this is the project “You are super!”, which, in my opinion, has become an event of this year. That is why NTV, in the form and with the content strategy that it is focused on today, is the best platform for Wait for Me.
It seems to us that on NTV "Wait for me" will begin a new bright life.
The program "Wait for me" when it will be aired again
The program "Wait for me" is not yet indicated in the NTV program grid. When exactly the show will be restarted, Alexander Lyubimov did not specify. This is expected to happen in October.
Who will host "Wait for me", new presenters
The names of the new hosts of the program "Wait for me", which will be aired on the NTV channel from the end of October, have become known. By tradition, these are actors: instead of Alexander Galibin and Ksenia Alferova, the people's artist of Russia Sergey Shakurov and Yulia Vysotskaya will be the hosts. A third permanent presenter will also appear - as KP reported, this is the founder of the Liza Alert volunteer rescue squad, Grigory Sergeev, who previously participated in the program as an expert.
On NTV "Wait for me" will be released in a new format.
As before, these will be incredible stories about real life. But now all this will take place in a new studio, the boundaries of which will expand. For the first time, viewers will see how searches are actually carried out: the search center “Wait for me” will be working daily and around the clock,” says Alexander Lyubimov, general producer of the VIDgital television company. The creators of the program will join forces with the famous volunteer search squad "Lisa Alert", and one of the leaders will be its leader Grigory Sergeev.
Why was the program "Wait for me" closed?
Wait for me: watch the last episode of the program in 2017 online on Channel One. Issue dated September 1, 2017 (YouTube video).
According to RBC's interlocutor on Channel One, the contract for the production of another popular VID production program, Field of Miracles, has been re-signed. “From the “Field of Miracles” everything is in order. The contract for it was extended, as it has been done automatically over the past 20 years,” he explained.
As a source on Channel One explained to RBC, the main reason for the non-renewal of the contract with VID for the production of Wait for Me is "the personnel policy of the new program team."
Why is there no program Wait for me on Channel One? Causes.
“They [the new Wait for Me team] fired Alexander Galibin, the host of the program, without agreement with Channel One. And at the moment, the manufacturer has not presented a host candidate that would suit Channel One,” he said, adding that as a result it was decided not to renew the contract with VID for the production of the program.
A source told RBC that the TV company nominated actor and producer Sergei Zhigunov for the role of the host of Wait for Me, but Channel One rejected her.
“The show will no longer be aired on Channel One,” another RBC source clarified. - On September 15, a repeat of one of the old episodes will be on the air.
He confirms that "the conflict between the producer and the TV channel was provoked by creative disagreements over the candidacy of the host of the program."
The producer of the program, TV Company VID, declined to comment on RBC. Channel One did not respond to RBC's request.
Our life Path is long and unpredictable. We are born, we study, we work, we find our soul mates, we leave our homes to go far, to conquer new heights of life. Those people, without whom we previously could not imagine our lives, are lost somewhere behind, at the crossroads of life's paths, the memory of them is erased, the segments spent together are forgotten, and only photographs yellowed by time remind of those who previously formed the basis of our life. And only years later, in moments of nostalgia, we remember them, and strive to find native features among the millions of faces alien to us. Invaluable assistance in such searches is provided by the social project "Wait for me", known to the viewer from the TV show of the same name on the NTV channel.

In early September, it became known that one of the most popular programs on television " Wait for me" ceases to exist. It turned out that the TV company "VID" did not renew the contract with the presenter Alexander Galibin, offering to replace him with Sergei Zhigunov or Andrey Sokolov. Representatives of Channel One were against the dismissal of the presenter, so they decided to close the program.
For a long time, the further fate of the program remained unknown. Today, an open letter from the producer of "Wait for me" Alexander Lyubimov appeared in the microblog of the VIDgital company on Instagram. He officially announced the return of the famous program to television. The NTV channel became the new "home" of the program.

President of VIDgital Alexander Lyubimov officially announced the return of the famous program to television.
Previously, the last host of the program Ksenia Alferova spoke about the fate of "Wait for me". In her microblog on Instagram, Alferova posted a frank and emotional post (spelling and punctuation are given unchanged. - Note. ed.): “Dear friends, for several weeks now you have been asking me if the program “Wait for me” will go on the air. I know the same as you. I know that the VID TV company was preparing a new, updated studio, that the team creating the program had many new ideas, that at the end of August we were supposed to have a new recording, but the first channel did not renew the contract with the TV company. For what reasons? One can only guess. I can assume that the matter is in the painful ambitions of those in power. How do I feel about it? And how can one relate to the fact that at once, with one stroke of the pen of hope, thousands of people have sunk into oblivion?! I'm hurt, I'm sad! It hurts for those people in whose life a miracle will not happen, their life will not turn around 180 degrees, they will not be able to hug their daughters, sons, brothers, fathers and mothers! Bitter for the amazing team of people who, many years ago, under the leadership of the last Romantic of our time, Sergey Anatolyevich Kushnerev, created this unique system for finding people, created this bright, talented, such a real program. And they continued his work, after his sudden departure. After all, this is not just a TV program, this is a phenomenon, this is the truth, this is life! And it doesn't matter who leads it, it is important that it lives, that people believe, wait and find each other! I can't wrap my head around how it was possible to take on such responsibility and stop it. Kind of crazy, in my opinion. But let's hope for a miracle, common sense, God! Let's believe that this program will continue its life, no matter on which channel, and we will see tears of joy and happy smiles on the faces of the heroes who have found their relatives, friends, dear friends! Don't get lost, hope, love, stay and believe no matter what! Your Ksyusha!
Another host of the program, Maria Shukshina, did not stand aside. The actress, who hosted Wait for Me from 1999-2014, was ready to return, but made it a condition to return the same team that started the show in 1998. TV company VID was not satisfied with such conditions.
