Who is “cleaning up” Channel One from “While everyone is at home”? Timur Kizyakov after the closure of “While everyone is at home”: They got rid of us as dangerous competitors interfering with their business. What happened to the program while everyone is at home

The permanent presenter of perhaps the most soulful program on our TV, “While Everyone is Home,” will soon exchange “fifty dollars”

The permanent presenter of perhaps the most heartwarming program on our TV, “While Everyone is Home,” Timur KIZYAKOV, will very soon exchange “fifty dollars.” As always, he will spend his anniversary with his family - wife Elena, daughters Lena and Valya and son Timur. Well, we decided to remember the brightest moments from their lives.

Timur and Elena have been together for 20 years. We met at Ostankino, where Kizyakov At that time, he had already been working on his brainchild for five years - the “While Everyone is Home” program. Lena worked as an editor on another project and was also married.

For Timur it was love at first sight, obsession! - Comrade Kizyakova told us Ruslan Smolin. “I couldn’t eat or sleep and talked incessantly about this beauty. But several thousand people visit Ostankino every day, so the chances of meeting the mysterious stranger again were scanty. We tried to explain this to him and tried to persuade him not to kill himself like that - you never know how many girls walk the corridors of the television center! But, apparently, Lena and Timur were destined to be together. A few days later, Kizyakov again met a stranger at the Ostankino technical entrance - where he had never looked before that moment. And, naturally, he did not believe his luck.

From the very first moment I knew that we would have a family,” the TV presenter recalled that day. “Everything was at stake for me then.” Literally a few days after we met, while leaving on a business trip, I gave Lena the keys to my apartment and burned all the spare airfields: I called everyone with whom I had at least some hint of a relationship and said that we no longer communicate.

Elena immediately filed for divorce and within a few months became Kizyakov’s wife, and in next year gave him a daughter, whom the couple, without thinking twice, also named Lena. By the way, the Kizyakovs’ five-year-old son is called Timur - according to an already established tradition. And the middle Valyusha inherited her name from her grandmother.

Kizyakov admitted more than once that by marrying Elena, he found not only the love of his life, but also a faithful work partner. The wife became right hand Timur on the project “While everyone is at home” and hosts his column “You will have a child” there. In it, Elena talks about orphans and tries to help each child orphanage find a new family.

It would seem that the project is kind and charitable, but even here there was a scandal. Six months ago, the head of the department of state policy in the field of protection of children’s rights of the Ministry of Education and Science Evgeny Silyanov said that for each such children’s video profile, the Kizyakovs receive a hefty sum. The figures were sky-high: almost 10 million rubles in a year alone! And not only that, Timur and his wife registered copyrights for such video passports of orphans, which gave them the opportunity to sue anyone who, in the same way as they did, would try to place the orphanages into families.

The Kizyakovs themselves commented on this situation with restraint: they say that they did not appropriate other people’s money and spent all allocated funds exclusively for their intended purpose. Be that as it may, over the 11-year history of this charity project new house really gained an incredible number of babies.

During this time Timur and Elena also managed to acquire a luxurious family nest in the near Moscow region. In this three-story cottage with a cozy gazebo for barbecue and a spacious bathhouse with a pond, Kizyakov will one of these days organize a celebration in honor of the 50th anniversary.

Authors and presenters of popular TV programs continue to leave Channel One. Most of them say that they do not find mutual understanding with management. TV presenters are moving to other federal channels that compete with the first button. “360” talks about the latest and possible changes on the First.

On Tuesday, August 15, it became known that Timur Kizyakov was added to the list of presenters who left Channel One. Earlier it was reported about the departure of Andrei Malakhov and Alexander Oleshko.

The reasons for Kizyakov’s dismissal are not officially reported, but it is believed that this is due to charitable activities TV presenter and his wife Elena. In December 2016, a scandal erupted related to the “You’re Having a Baby” column, which was published as part of the “While Everyone is Home” program. It showed video passports of orphans with the goal of finding new parents for them. The media received information that for the production of stories about orphans, Kizyakov took money immediately from Channel One, and from the state, and from sponsors. The TV channel conducted its own investigation, which was followed by the dismissal of the presenter.

The TV presenter himself says that he was slandered and financial statements his television company “Dom”, which produced video passports, everything is in order, and cooperation with federal TV channel was torn by him own initiative. The corresponding letter was sent to the channel on May 27.

We do not accept the methods of the management of Channel One that are currently being practiced there

According to him, when attacks on the program began, the channel’s management simply ignored the situation and did not stand up for Kizyakov’s team. He says that a number of companies that have begun to accuse him of embezzling money simply see him as a competitor, “because they see it as a business.”

Vedomosti wrote at the end of last year that Kizyakov’s company for the production of video passports for orphans received 110 million rubles from the Ministry of Education and Science and at the same time from regional authorities.

“When a sponsor is present in the program, then absolutely most of Sponsored advertising goes to the channel. Some small part remains for the development program, and that’s all. And the fact that the sponsor gives as a gift, and here a certificate for 100 thousand rubles was given, is directly addressed to the children's institution from where the child was shown,” explained Kizyakov.

The program “While Everyone is Home” has been broadcast on Channel One on Sundays since 1992. In it famous people They talked about themselves and their family at breakfast. Now the authors of the TV show are thinking about what to do in this situation.

A week ago, on August 9, it became known that showman Alexander Oleshko was also leaving Channel One. IN different time he hosted a number of entertainment programs, including the humorous parody show “ A big difference", "One to One", "Minute of Fame", "Exactly".

"Being freelance artist, accepted an offer that he couldn’t refuse! Wherever and whoever you are with, the main task remains to give the viewer joy, peace of mind and good mood“Oleshko wrote on his Instagram. Now the TV presenter can be seen in the show “You are Super!” Dancing”, which will air on NTV.

Rumors about the departure of Showman Andrei Malakhov in social networks back at the end of July. Later the information was confirmed. Competent sources claimed that Malakhov was leaving due to the fact that he could not work well with the new producer of “Let Them Talk” Natalya Nikonova. She returned to the channel not long ago and, according to one version, insisted that the popular talk show have more socio-political topics. Malakhov was categorically against this approach.

The TV presenter, according to some, decided to leave to host the “Live Broadcast” program on the Rossiya 1 TV channel. Along with him, the main part of the team that was involved in the production of “Let Them Talk” left. Malakhov himself wrote in the Vedomosti newspaper that the reason for his dismissal was precisely a conflict with management.

It has already been leaked to the media that Andrei Malakhov met with the team of the new project that he will lead and discussed the creation of the program. It is reported that the first program will be released at the end of August.

The series of dismissals of Channel One presenters may well continue. The website M24.ru previously said that TV presenter Elena Malysheva and Leonid Yakubovich could quit. However, in a conversation with “360” they did not confirm this information.

“Nothing happens on the channel and everything is great. But everyone has their own problems. Some programs are closed, some are changed. Some people are simply unhappy. We're not going anywhere. Until we are closed, we will work,” Leonid Yakubovich’s representative Anatoly denied the information.

Among the potential new hosts of “Let Them Talk” is the outrageous actor Nikita Dzhigurda. He told “360” that this was discussed, but he accuses the TV channel of slandering himself and his family, so he did not agree. Moreover, Dzhigurda connects the dismissal of Andrei Malakhov precisely with the fact that he once in his program accused the actor of forging the will of his rich girlfriend.

“The transfer of Malakhov is connected with our statements to the police, the court and with the scandal provoked by the “Let Them Talk” program. The management of Channel One, in order to relieve themselves of responsibility and report that measures had been taken, started this game with Malakhov’s departure. My dream is for [Konstantin] Ernst to be fired from his position. I am convinced that few people want to tolerate the immoral methods that Channel One rebroadcast and with which dissenting journalists leave,” says the artist.

In a conversation with 360, other top presenters of Channel One said that they have no complaints against the management yet. “I cannot comment on the situation with the departure of the presenters, because I do not work there. Channel One simply buys my show, and I don’t plan to break off relations with them. I have no complaints about Channel One,” said journalist Vladimir Pozner.

Another old-timer of the channel, TV presenter and traveler Dmitry Krylov, agrees with him, who says that he has no complaints about his management. “And it would not be very correct for me to comment on the situation with the departure of the presenters, since I work on Channel One,” Krylov said.

Timur Kizyakov’s program “While Everyone is Home,” which aired for 25 years. The fact is that the section of the program “We’re Having a Baby” was suspected of illegal financing. It turned out that the company received outside money for the stories. This fact could have affected the reputation of the television company, so they decided to abandon the program.

Presenter Timur Kizyakov responded to the accusations. On his Facebook page he wrote fast, in which he spoke in detail about how the section functioned, how much money was spent on helping orphans find their home and a loving family.

For each child who became the hero of the column, Kizyakov’s team filmed a so-called “video passport”. The cost of the video is 100 thousand rubles. Kizyakov was accused of the amount being too large, and the TV presenter explained why exactly that much money was required.

“Yes, it is expensive, but only this quality guarantees a complete impression of the child. Only then will he not get lost in the general faceless mass of 2-3 minute videos, if there are thousands of them. And people will decide to travel across the country to this child, and when they meet, they will see him exactly as they expected. Our task is not to flash the child so that they can see him, but to show him so that they can see him. Only this quality is not a shame to show to the whole world, demonstrating how Russia helps its children. Video passports are filmed only with professional equipment, only by on-air specialists with medical books and receipts for non-disclosure of information about children that is classified by law. 100,000 is the cost of work for 1 video passport, it has remained unchanged for 10 years (although everything has become more expensive: equipment, rent, transport, accommodation), and for 10 years this official information has been available on the Internet. It is clear in all agreements that total amount contract is always a multiple of the number of passports produced. Sometimes the regions help with business trips, sometimes they don’t. You have to provide tickets and accommodation at your own expense. I repeat, but funding goes only to video passports, not a penny is spent on the “You will have a child” section or on other expenses. We can prove it, we have all the documents,” explained the TV presenter (Spelling and punctuation hereinafter are the author’s. - Note edit.).

Kizyakov noted that the column did not cost Channel One anything; on the contrary, it generated income through advertising: “For 10 years, the channel received considerable income from the constant presence of sponsorship advertising precisely and only in this section. What is the ultimate, true goal of organized bullying? The goal is not at all to improve the children's lot, but to get rid of us as dangerous competitors interfering with their business. And the methods fully correspond to the purity of their hands and souls. The main judges for us are people who have children and children who have families. It’s especially interesting to show these children, when they grow up, those who believed that their fate and life were not worth a hundred thousand,” Kizyakov wrote. Many Internet users supported the TV presenter and expressed their dissatisfaction with the closure of the program.

Entertainment program "While everyone is at home" - an old-timer on domestic television. It has been on the air since November 8, 1992. Author and presenter Timur Kizyakov came to visit famous artists, musicians, athletes and over a cup of tea asked about life. But the program will not be aired in the new season - Channel One decided to close it due to ethical and financial problems.

The scandal erupted over the column “You’re Having a Child,” which had been published since 2006. Timur Kizyakov’s wife, Elena, spoke about children from Russian orphanages, promoted foster care and foster families, and helped with adoption.

According to the State Procurement website, in 2011, companies that belong to the creators of the program “While Everyone is Home” received a lot of money in tenders of the Ministry of Education and Science, as well as regional authorities, to create videos about orphans. The amount is really huge – 110 million rubles. They spent it, as the Vedomosti newspaper writes, on creating so-called video passports about orphans: 100 thousand for each.

At the same time, Channel One on commercial terms I bought a license from the manufacturer for the entire program, including the “You’re Having a Baby” section. The channel did not know that videos about orphans were produced at the expense of the state, the Channel One management assures.

Everything was revealed at a meeting at the Ministry of Education and Science. According to TASS and the newspaper " TVNZ", department employee Evgeny Silyanov said that Kizyakov receives money from the budget to create videos about orphans and is suing other charitable foundations if they try to use the term "video passport."

As a result, Channel One terminated the contract with the production company “While everyone is at home.” “We closed it because of its tarnished reputation; it was difficult to make it to the end of the season, but we have already been preparing since April new program“, sources on the First told the site.

The host of “While everyone is at home,” Timur Kizyakov, told RBC that he did not know about the termination of the contract: “I don’t have such information - I’m away.” Co-owner of the Dom company, Alexander Mitroshenkov, noted that he could not comment on anything, since he “does not have any information.”

It all started with Malakhov, who hosted two super-rated projects on Channel One - “Let Them Talk” and “Tonight”. After the weekday prime time program came new producer, Andrey left her. As they say, there are several reasons: reluctance to make a political program instead of a social one, the desire to have greater creative freedom and a salary corresponding to his ambitions (they wrote that for hosting “Let Them Talk” he received only 700 thousand rubles!).

And it would be okay if he just left quietly, but no - he went over to his competitors at “Russia” and will now host the talk show “Live” instead of Boris Korchevnikov. Previously, this program was losing heavily to “Let Them Talk” in the ratings. Although she was actually a clone. Now the producers are confident that everything will be the other way around.

Following Malakhov, the team of editors, who prepared all the high-profile broadcasts, moved to the second button - looking for stories, themes, twists. The most scandalous heroes, among whom, by the way, are Diana Shurygina and Dana Borisova, will also “move” to their competitors.

Then it became known that Alexander Oleshko would not remain on the first button. On the First he hosted "Minute of Glory" and "Exactly". Now he will work on NTV, where he was invited to host the show “You’re Super! Dancing.”

The next victim was entertainment“While everyone is at home” - an old-timer on domestic television. Its author and presenter Timur Kizyakov came to visit famous artists, musicians, athletes and asked about life over a cup of tea. But they decided to close the program due to ethical problems (Kizyakov was accused of fraud with money). Now the program, as they say, will settle on “Russia”.

Fans are worried about the question: who else will leave Channel One? Among the most obvious options is the “Let's Get Married!” program. It has been published since 2008 and has been repeatedly criticized for “advertising pseudoscience” and “ugly models of sexual relations.” In addition, the reputation of the country's main matchmaker, Roza Syabitova, is pretty tarnished. The deceived brides said that they paid her 250 thousand rubles, but she never found grooms for them, and fake actors came on dates.

The matchmaker herself, who is currently on vacation, was very evasive about whether she would return to filming after the summer. But Larisa Guzeeva - alas or ah! – made it clear that the show was not going to be closed. "We'll start leaving soon!" – quotes the actress
