No changes are expected in the leadership of the Public Radio and
Public Television either before or after the presidential elections,
the President of the Council of Public Television and Radio Company
of Armenia Alexan Harutyunyan declared today in response to rumors. He
also refuted the possibility of closure of some TV Companies.
Nevertheless, the working style of the Public Television will change
during the elections. Steps have already been taken in this direction.
"We are improving our regional network and the regional structures,
thus increasing the opportunities for live broadcasts from there. I
think we shall cover the elections so as it has never been the case in
Armenia. The question refers to volume and efficiency, live broadcasts
and use of technical resources," Mr. Harutyunyan said.
The President of the Council of Public Television and Radio Company
is assured that there will be no cause for discontent as regards the
coverage of the election campaign and the elections. "Of course the
viewers and international structures will be the judges. I think the
assessment of the international structures was normal, and the opinion
about the Public Radio and the Public Television was, on the whole,
positive. I mean the OSCE observers. I think the evaluation will not
be worse after the presidential elections."
The Public Television is preparing surprises in the new season. The
viewers will have the opportunity to watch the most popular films.
Attempts will be made to increase the production of Armenian films.
For example, as a result of negotiations with a Russian company,
we shall have a new Armenian-Russian film next year. In 2-3 years
there will be no Latin American soup operas on the Public TV. These
will be replaced by Armenian serials.
As for the long-term programs, revolution is expected in 3-4 years in
the Public TV and the Public Radio connected with the digitalization
of broadcasting. The digital package envisages the creation of a
new 24-hour "Culture" TV Channel. It will be the only Channel to air
no advertisements.
