We learn how to decode "NTV"

On the NTV television channel you can see manynews - both accusatory, and criminal, and simply scandalous. This television channel has long won the fame of a scandalous and criminal television channel. But very few people know how to decode "NTV", and what do these letters in general mean.

A common misconception

The year of establishment of the television company is 1993.The creators of "NTV" were Igor Malashenko, Evgeny Kiselyov and Oleg Dobrodeyev (colleagues called this group of people "gone by three letters"). Many are mistaken that they know the answer to the question: "How is NTV decoded?" The widespread opinion that these letters mean "independent television" is mistaken. The president of the television company Igor Malashenko says that "fifty times" has already spoken about the misunderstanding of the abbreviation "NTV", the decoding of which was never translated as "independent television." And in general, not so simple with these three letters.

NTV: Explanation of the abbreviation

But what about the reality?How is NTV decoded in this case? And the answer is very simple: nothing at all. As Malashenko himself says, he once invented this abbreviation for a new television, but did not like his then partners. They offered both "independent" and "non-state". But in the end, in 1993, after assigning the abbreviation to a new TV channel, everyone agreed unanimously that NTV would not be deciphered in any way.

Development

About how "NTV" is deciphered, at first there were guesses in favor of the fact that the first letter in the abbreviation claims to be "independent", but eventually all assumptions were dispelled.

Broadcast "NTV" started on the fifth channel, and seeit was only possible for Yevgeny Kiselyov's single program "Itogi". But the following year, the enteveshniki broadcast for 58 hours a week, only on the fourth channel. After a while, the fourth channel was completely absorbed in "three letters", and, as the former media curator Mikhail Poltoranin told, the case was not without help from "above" and bribes.

By the way, the fourth channel was essentiallycultural and educational and was called "Russian Universities". And a useful river of knowledge was blocked by a mountain of intrigues and scandals. However, perhaps not everything is so tragic - after all, after the collapse of the USSR, the leaders of the fourth channel did not really strive to fulfill their educational role, but only created an appearance, using a noble name and issuing very different from earlier programs.

As for NTV, itsthe leadership left a part of the former enlightenment channel on its own "territory". It was an hour-long program for people studying foreign languages. However, this program lasted only a short time - in 1997 it was closed, and after that there was not a single program on Russian television that would be designed for the education of young people.

Now "NTV" is a twenty-four-hour all-Russiana channel on which you can find various news and analytical programs, a lot of space is occupied by journalistic investigations and, in addition, social and political talk shows. You can often see documentary films, as well as a lot of serials (mostly of a criminal nature).
