All the hosts of the Vremya program are extraordinary personalities who not only inform viewers about the latest news in the country and the world, but also know how to analyze events and present information in an accessible form. It is no longer possible to imagine domestic television without the famous news program, which has survived several generations of Soviet and Russian viewers.

Unfortunately for those who believed that Ekaterina Andreeva was leaving Channel One, this information was only partially confirmed. The TV presenter will still host the “Time” program, but will appear on screen much less frequently.

Ekaterina Andreeva has been working as the host of the Vremya information program for more than 20 years. Many viewers are already starting to get tired of the TV presenter flashing on the screen. According to some reports, Channel One is receiving many messages demanding that 56-year-old Andreeva be removed from the air.

Recently there was a message that Catherine will stop appearing in news releases published in the European part of the country. Most Internet users were happy about this news: “Thank God, human face and the speech will now be on the screen”, “When Andreeva is on the air, Rosenthal and Ozhegov are spinning in their graves like dynamos”, “Well, finally, on the First, they were smart enough to remove this Shapoklyak from the TV”, “Only Fadeev can be worse than Andreeva on Sundays".

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, therefore, a person who daily tells the whole country about important news must have a number of certain qualities. Judging by the gossip that is circulating on the Internet, the presenter’s candidacy is being approved for top 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 lay off Andreeva because of her difficult relationship with the channel’s general director, Konstantin Ernst. “In 2009, the media reported that he had already decided 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.

The oldest information program in the history of domestic TV, “Time,” appeared on domestic television half a century ago. The first issue was released on January 1, 1968 - to the music of Georgy Sviridov for the film “Time, Forward!” rotated on the screen Earth. Gazeta.Ru recalls how it all began and who stood at the origins of the country’s information journalism.

Start

“January 1, 1968... The closer it gets to 9 pm Moscow time, the faster everything heats up, my head is spinning. In the release department there is a continuous ringing. Georgy Kuznetsov is preparing a live broadcast from GUM. Irana Kazakova is already on Pushkin Square - she needs to talk to the people (darkness has gathered!) and headlong to Shabolovka... - recalled TV journalist Alla Melik-Pashayeva, who worked in the program from 1967 to 1973. --

But the broadcast is in doubt: in last moment Thousands of technical problems are discovered!

Press service of Channel One Work process, installation of light in ASB-1, 1979

But in some incomprehensible way, everything, like in a fairy tale, will end well! Irana will make it to the studio, Gera will conduct her report and the first issue will roll like clockwork, and we, its participants, will hug each other as we leave the studio, like people in whose lives something very significant has happened...”

At first, the program was broadcast only 3 times a week and without presenters - work in the studio was replaced by live broadcasts of journalists from the scene. The familiar format appeared only in the early 70s, when the editorial office was headed by the legendary journalist, creator of Mayak radio, Yuri Letunov. The studio moved to Ostankino, and the program itself became color. Since 1972, the timing of “Time” has been 30 minutes.

“It’s hard to imagine now, in the Internet era, at what cost efficiency was achieved.

If we were talking about an important political event that did not take place in Moscow, the film had to be delivered by plane to Vnukovo, from there urgently brought to Ostankino, developed, dried and only after that we could see what exactly was filmed, whether there was a defect, whether editing could begin. Every two minutes, Letunov or the release duty officer called the washing room: “Well, is the film ready? Is it still drying? Why are you messing around there! The air is burning!” he said Chief Editor"Time" from 1977 to 1983. Victor Lyubovtsev.

Name and Policy

The program owes its name to the main director Alexei Petrochenko.
“At the end of 1967, four conspirators gathered in one of the editorial rooms on Shabolovka: Iran columnist Kazakova, senior editor Levan Dzaridze, main director editors Petrovich (Alexey Petrochenko) and the author of these lines.
…Where did the name that became the brand come from? The debate among the conspiratorial group was short-lived.

Dozens of options, one worse than the other, flashed by like shots, when suddenly Petrovich blurted out: “Time!”

And it seemed to everyone that this particular option was on the tip of their tongues!” recalled the first production editor, Leonid Zolotarevsky.

In the post-perestroika 90s, the name of the program was changed along with the political course. The main information program of the country began to be called “TV Inform”, since 1992 - “Ostankino News”, then - “ITA News”.

“And then they gave us the name back. Do you know how happy we were? It was just... it was an event! After the broadcast we went on a spree!

We were all very happy that our “Time” was returned to us!” said Alexander Onosovsky, who worked at different years columnist, senior editor, special correspondent and commentator for Vremya.

Time and numbers

For the first 10 years, the program was broadcast once a day in the evenings. The program gathered almost the entire adult population of the country in front of the screens - the broadcast at 21.00 became national tradition and a window into the world of propaganda.

Since then, the time of the final release has not changed for 50 years.

The schedule was violated only in some years on May 9 - then the program was put on an hour later, after festive fireworks in honor of Victory Day. Several times the airtime was shifted due to live sports broadcasts.

Since 1997, the permanent presenter and face of the program is Ekaterina Andreeva.

Before becoming the presenter of Vremya, Andreeva worked at Novosti. According to her, the first broadcast in the new capacity turned out to be dramatic.

“When the terrorist attack occurred in Budenovsk in June 1995, two issues of Novosti were supposed to be broadcast simultaneously in different orbits. But the second presenter has not yet arrived at Ostankino. Then someone remembered that I used to work in the voice-over department.

And I was thrown into the water like a puppy on this most complex ether. I still remember how my pulse beat near my throat so that it seemed like I would die of horror.

The managers also watched the broadcast, and they liked how I worked in a force majeure situation; the next day they put me on the air. But I didn’t come to it, I said, I’ll remain an editor. Because I understood that being a TV presenter, especially the Vremya program, is very difficult. I am demanding of myself. Only after some time I was lured to this position. And in 1998, I said “yes”, first of all, to myself. Over the years, I worked in shifts with Kirill Kleimenov, Andrei Baturin, Pyotr Marchenko, Zhanna Agalakova, Olga Kokorekina and now with Vitaly Eliseev,” Andreeva said.
