We help regional and independent stations. Of course, we sometimes work with Moscow stations, as there is unquestionably much more opportunity for training in Moscow than in the regions. Our projects are for everyone. The fact that there are some stations which are more active, which think about raising the qualifications of their employees, which look a bit further than a half step into the future, and others that are indifferent to the training of their employees, is a separate issue. The latter type will develop more slowly.
Many stations talk about the fact that their own production fills eight hours of airtime per day.
Quality is always lost, and with it, viewers. The advertising market in the regions does not permit stations, with the exception of a few cities, to exist independently without entering a network. A rational compromise between network and in-house programming is the most important task of a TV station. It is bad for those who produce a lot, but it is also bad for those stations that don't produce anything. If a station doesn't even have its own news, then the company can't count on ratings or the loyalty of its viewers.
