 NewsRSSAlasania leaves post of National TV and Radio Broadcasting Company director
1 of November 2016 г.
Director General of National Television and Radio Broadcasting Company of Ukraine Zurab Alasania has said that he has written a voluntary resignation application due to problems with the budget of the Eurovision 2017 song contest and similar hardships with the government financing of National Public Television, as well as moves to create the Radio Broadcasting Company of Ukraine (NPBU) on the basis of his company - Interfax.
Alasania posted a mediaport.ua link to resignation letter and explanations of his decision on Facebook. Alasania said that he has decided to leave the post due to difficulties with the creation of the public broadcaster in Ukraine and public pressure from the public and politicians. He said that responsibility for preparations to host the Eurovision 2017 in Ukraine was an added burden. Spending of dozens of millions of euros legally and in a transparent way is impossible in the country. He said that authorities added the budget of the song contest to the budget of his company for 2017. This means that UAH 450 million of expenses for Eurovision is taken from UAH 1.2 billion foreseen in the law for development of Public Broadcasting. Some UAH 250 million is taken in the form of the fee for broadcasting, UAH 149 million as expenses and UAH 46 million is taken by the city for utility services. Some UAH 112 million will go for international activities (Olympics, world cups and other contests) and the company has UAH 193 million left, he said. "You guys in power, are you serious? [Is this enough] to rebuild 32 outdated companies? With nil for production and an average wage of UAH 2,300? You tell the country and the world we are building Public [Broadcasting]?" he said.
