Channel One Russia
"Fabrika Zvyozd" gained a cult status in Russia. It was the first real Russian reality music competition and the first reality show on Channel One Russia. Although it was axed in 2007 in favour of "Interzvezda", which was later cancelled in its production phase, the show and its contestants stayed popular long after its axing. In 2017, Channel One Russia featured a special two-week special of "Segodnya vecherom" about "Fabrika Zyozd", celebrating the show’s fifteenth anniversary. The episodes mostly focused on the contestants’ fate after the show.
