The well-known presenter Andrei Malakhov had a conflict with the leadership of the first channel. The disagreements turned out to be so significant that the TV presenter filed an application and decided to change the channel.

While the audience was wondering why the producers removed Andrey Malakhov from the air of Channel 1, the media, citing anonymous sources, published several versions:

1. Conflicts within the team.
2. Reduced TV ratings.
3. The discrepancy between the views of Malakhov and Natalia Nikonova (producer) on the subject of the program.
4. Producers' unwillingness to provide the host maternity leave(the showman's wife is about to give birth).

On the First, they filmed the release of the show about the departure of the star presenter. The media reported that there were a couple of candidates for Malakhov's place - Borisov and Shepelev. As a result, the issue about Malakhov was led by Dmitry Borisov.

It is no secret that it is problematic to work effectively and make a quality product for the air in the conditions of intra-team hostility and discontent.

The presenter himself noted that a lot has changed over the years. He was not pleased with the change in the filming location of the program (earlier episodes of the show were filmed at the Ostankino television center) and he was tired of following the management commands, not being able to influence the subject matter and the filming process.

Discontent peaked by mid-summer 2017. Although at the beginning of summer, in an interview with GQ, the presenter stated that the only reason could be an offer to do something completely absurd and immoral on the air to raise ratings.

Malakhov fired - the main reasons

The TV presenter himself refuted the theory about the insufficient amount of the fee and stated that if this were the only thing, he would have left Channel 1 a few years ago.

Theoretically, the reason for the decline in ratings could be a sharp shift in topics towards politics. The program "Let them talk" is an analogue of the popular show for housewives in America ("The Jerry Springer Show"). Considering such an audience, it is not surprising that the departure from social and everyday topics did not make a splash.

Malakhov VS Nikonova

One of the most plausible reasons for the presenter to leave the channel is the conflict between Malakhov and the new producer of the first channel, Natalya Nikonova.

Ms. Nikonova, in the conditions of the election race, began to introduce broadcasts of “Let them talk” on the air with clearly political topics. Malakhov did not agree with such a decision and expressed his dissatisfaction, but the channel's management refused to meet the showman and give him the opportunity to choose topics for the programs himself.

Malakhov is no longer the host of the program "Let them talk"

Speaking about the real reasons for leaving, the presenter noted that he had long become popular with the audience and over the years he was tired of blindly following instructions at a time when less experienced and well-known presenters get the opportunity to engage in their own projects.

For creative person with such a colossal experience in television broadcasting behind him, such an attitude of the leadership is a serious reason to think about leaving for a place where his initiative and experience will be appreciated and his opinion will be listened to.

This is not the first time on television when producers do not take into account the presenters, do not try to compromise and lose talented channel staff. It is not known how the change of the host “Let them talk” will turn out for the ratings of the program.

The change in the theme of the show caused dissatisfaction not only with Malakhov, but also with some other members of the team. Producer Natalya Nikonova previously worked on the program "Live" on channel Russia 1, and the ratings of this program, due to its seriousness and obvious political bias, were significantly lower than those of "Let them talk."

There was no open conflict, but the whole team was at a loss and tension, turning a popular talk show into a clone " live broadcast Nobody wanted.

There were even rumors that it was real reason care not only Malakhov. In the press, there was an assumption that the presenter would take part of the team with him to the Russia channel 1. An anonymous source denied this information, saying that there were no statements about leaving someone from the team working on the Let Them Talk program.

Family is the most precious thing

The wife of the showman, Natalya Shkuleva, who holds the position of publisher and brand director of Elle magazine in the Russian Federation, is expected to replenish in the family of the TV presenter soon. In this regard, the real reason for Malakhov's departure from the channel, according to Elle, was the refusal of the producer of the show, Natalya Nikonova, to give the TV presenter a vacation to help his wife care for the baby.

Moreover, it became known that Ms. Nikonova refused the presenter the legal right (Labor Code of the Russian Federation, Art. 256) to take maternity leave in a rather rude form, stating that working on the show is not kindergarten and Malakhov must decide who he is in the first place - a nanny or a TV presenter.

The showman was dissatisfied with this attitude of management and cynicism towards him. Given the many years of his work on the First, experience and popularity with the audience, the producers could be more loyal and polite.

A quarter of a century is no joke

The talented TV presenter began working on Channel One about 25 years ago, and since 2001 he was approved as the host of the Big Wash show, which was later renamed 5 Evenings, and then became the well-known program Let They Talk.

The host himself said that over the long years of cooperation, everyone is so used to the fact that he is always on Channel One, that since December 2016 they even forgot to renew the contract with him, although Malakhov continued to work and host the show.

The program "Let them talk" is hosted by Dmitry Borisov

Considering how many years Malakhov has hosted the show on Channel One and how many fans he has acquired during this time, we can safely say that viewers will watch his programs on any channel.

The work on Channel One proceeded as usual: smoothly and smoothly, and there was no information that Malakhov was leaving for another place of work due to some kind of conflict. A few days later, Andrey Malakhov put forward a refutation of this rumor, telling in a short interview about why he is not going to leave anywhere and continues to work on Channel One as usual. That technical work and some changes are taking place on the channel, in connection with which his project temporarily ceased to appear on television screens.

At the same time, the TV presenter with Tina Kandelaki pranked the audience by spreading the rumor that Malakhov was going to become one of the commentators on the Match-TV channel. The result of a joint effort and a couple of comments under the clumsily edited photo was waves of indignation from the fans and the expectation of "worst".

What really happened

In October 2017, the news that Malakhov was still leaving Channel One, replacing it with Russia-1, was confirmed by both the TV presenter himself and his employers. Viewers received answers to their questions quite recently. The ambitious host, who had 25 years of experience, was prompted to change his place of work by an interesting proposal to become a member of a new project. He will now be the face of the game show The Wall.

The unique program will reveal the fate of brilliant and ambitious people who, not being able to earn big money, are building the future of their beloved country. Their stories will reveal the background of events in which insignificant people doing small things improve the quality of our lives. Just such interesting transmission caused a job change.

Andrey Malakhov's opinion

IN modern world there are no longer such barbaric methods as poaching famous stars TV shows and programs through the promise of higher pay and bonuses. Ambitious presenters with big names independently choose a place where they feel comfortable working. That is why to say that Malakhov, having decided to leave, encroached on more profitable than on Channel One in financial terms offer is not possible.

He was simply tired of performing in the familiar and already boring role of a TV presenter who starred in the same type of programs and talk shows. Therefore, the offer to participate in a new project in which he can develop as a person and explore what he is really interested in became the main criterion in choosing a new job.

Work in the project "Let them talk" in last years Malakhov regarded it as an auction in which the one who pays the most wins. To take a scandalous, shocking interview, he had to persuade people to take part in this show, purposefully drawing them into the midst of not always pleasant events. Celebrities had to be bribed different ways which Malakhov absolutely did not like, because his character does not allow him to overstep certain principles. But the show regularly demanded to make deals with itself.

Now Andrei Malakhov does not need to sacrifice his precious time and go against his moral principles to create a unique and amazing show. It is enough for him to tell the truth, talking about people who, with their discoveries and inventions, make the world a better place, embodying their most secret dreams in it.

Friends support

Quite often it happens that a TV presenter who runs his project on one channel takes with him all the achievements and command staff. Malakhov, choosing the show "The Wall", did the same. But to convince others of the correctness decision It wasn't as easy as it first seemed. After all, his team is used to working at a certain, measured pace and mode in the “Let them talk” program. Not all employees wanted to change their place of work, and, accordingly, their lives. Innovations and changes are not liked by everyone and not always.

Finally, all the i's are dotted - Andrey Malakhov officially left Channel One. "I have always been subordinate. A soldier who follows orders. But I wanted independence. I looked at my colleagues: they became producers of their programs, they began to make decisions themselves. And suddenly an understanding came: Life is going, and you need to grow, get out of the tight framework, "Malakhov explained in an interview with Woman`s Day.

ON THIS TOPIC

And in an appeal to the country's chief TV doctor, Elena Malysheva, published in StarHit, he was a little more specific: "We need to develop, you are like a producer own program understand it better than others. And if along the way I pushed you to new theme broadcast called "The first manifestations of male menopause" is also not bad.

Now, for people far from television cuisine, it is worth explaining what Malakhov meant. The fact is that Natalya Nikonova returned to Channel One as a producer. She returned and developed a stormy activity, seizing the reins of government with the Let Them Talk program. Employees of Channel One reported that Nikonova's task is to "shake up the socio-political block of programs." These changes were not to the liking of the star TV presenter.

It must be said that the changes were revolutionary. Firstly, Andrey, as they say, was deprived of the opportunity to form the editorial plan of the program "Let them talk." He was assigned only the role of a presenter, to whom they write questions to the heroes and in the ear monitor of which the director gives the commands “Let them fight”, “Do not approach the heroine, let her scream”, “Come to the experts in the hall”. Malakhov did not satisfy the function of the "talking head".

The second change concerns the subject matter of his program. If earlier in "Let them talk" the social sphere was touched upon, then Nikonova decided to make a political talk show out of the program, which would talk about America, Syria, Ukraine and other countries supplying news. The new format has already been tested - the first issue of "Let them talk" with a new presenter was dedicated to Mikheil Saakashvili. Malakhov, of course, is not at all interested in politics.

Finally, competitors from "Russia" are said to have offered Andrey almost double the salary. And the “best presenter of the country”, as Malakhov was introduced to the “Live broadcast” team, now needs money for diapers, rattles and strollers - at the end of the year he will become a dad.

That Andrey Malakhov was fired from Channel One after she complained about the host of the Let Them Talk program in an open letter to the President of Russia.

Anisina said that the “Let them talk” program team put pressure on her and her husband Nikita Dzhigurda, and this was the reason to file a police report and write a letter to Vladimir Putin.

According to the skater, she was allegedly threatened by the former producer of the program, Natalya Galkovich. As Marina Anisina writes, it was as if Galkovich said that Anisina and Dzhigurda would regret that on February 26, 2016, they refused to reveal in an interview with Malakhov what they wanted to hear from them.

The pranksters are attacking me again! And again, the father of my children receives death threats because of the will of Lyudmila Bratash! And again, the yellow media resumed spreading lies against Nikita Borisovich ...

Natalia Galkovich and her editors promised me on February 23, 2016 that I would regret that I refused to tell Andryusha Malakhov in a five-hour interview and tell them what they wanted to hear from me! The dismissal of Galkovich, Malakhov and their team from the first channel is directly related to our filing of complaints against them with the police and the court! Helped my open letter To Vladimir Putin... But after a short lull, alas, threats and provocations resumed again! I'm afraid for Dzhigurda! I know he won't back down! But that's why I love him...

No matter how crazy he may seem to many, the father of my children is a real man, of which there are very few today! Don't believe the black media lies! Children love Nikita very much and he will never harm them or me violently! Today, after everything I've learned and experienced, I know it for sure! And I believe only in my married husband!

The media report that Malakhov has not yet written a letter of resignation. Officially, he was on vacation until August 10, but so far he has not appeared in Ostankino.

Earlier, the media reported on the transition of Malakhov to the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company. So far, VGTRK and Channel One do not give detailed comments. Dmitry Shepelev, who allegedly occupied the TV presenter's studio in Ostankino, recommended that journalists contact the Channel One press service with questions on this topic. There, in turn, they said that they were "not available for comment."
