What is common between Kovalchuk, Rothenberg and Sherlock Holmes? Battle for the "first button"

"Real Time" analyzed information about the owners of the largest channels in Russia, Tatarstan and in Russian millionth cities. The televisional of Russia belongs to major media groups, including Gazprom. Tatarstan canals are almost completely divided between Tatmedia and the head of Ether Andrei Grigoriev. In Russian million paintings, the channels are owned or people from the city hall, or a large business.

Scandalous beginning of the year for the first channel

I did not have time to start a year, as the chief Russian channel - the first one - it turned out to be drawn immediately into several scandals. First on the Internet, on the Change.org platform, a petition appeared, in which from the first channel in the face of Konstantin Ernsta, demanded to improve the New Year's show. Ernst, a few days later, arranged a conference on which he spoke about his vision of the problem: the main audience of New Year's show - 45+, and the creators in pursuit of ratings are focused on this category of viewers.

Nevertheless, the petition has signed more than 160 thousand people. However, later the author of the petition apologized to Alla Pugacheva. The show was particularly criticized with her participation.

Literally a few days later, in the open access, the final series of the fourth season of the popular series "Sherlock" in the voice of the first channel turned out to be the final series. The premiere was supposed to take place only two days later. The source of "plum" was one of the staff of the first channel.

These facts accepted representatives of some media on the theory that these events are nothing more than a planned attack on Konstantin Ernsta, the general director of the first channel. Journalists suggested that the attack is based on the conflict between Arkady Rothenberg and Yuri Kovalchuk, who owns the channel control package.

Against the background of all this confusing and politicized history, "real-time" decided to find out who owns Russian TV channels.

The Empire of the National Media Group includes another rating federal channel Ren TV (it is believed to be formed on behalf of its creator of Irena Lesnevskaya). Located on the 11th button, the channel received special glory among Russians due to their love for the theory of conspiracy and strange investigations.

"Every time I went to this office to the supervisors, I was captured by a view from the window," the Director General of the STS Media Holding, Vyacheslav Murugov, tells me with a smile. His career in the company without taking into account the short break lasts for 12 years for 12 years, and to the upper step in the corporate hierarchy, Murugov reached in May 2016. Now he accepts guests in a spacious office on the 31st floor of a business center on Leningradsky Avenue. Behind him - shelves with statuettes of Teffi (all of them are Mrovov 12) and photographs of children. "My main projects," - laughs Vyacheslav.

Since the appointment of Movyov, about aven a half years has passed the general director. During this time, he managed to almost completely change the team of the Holding leaders. And at least five new managers "STS Media" in the past, under the leadership of Olga Paskoyna, the general director of another major Russian media holding - the National Media Group (NMG), with which the "STS Media" have general shareholders - the structures of the Bank "Russia" Yuri Kovalchuk And his partners. In addition to personnel intersections, joint ventures have emerged joint companies from the staffing of Media and NWG. RBC magazine talked more than ten former and the current managers of two holding and found out who and what brings the company with a cumulative audience in tens of millions of people.

Business "On the stage"

CTC TV channel began broadcasting in 1996, the main role in the launch was played by the American Peter Gervi, the founder of StoryFirst Communications. STS first on domestic television completely cast the ether under entertainment content. The media reported that Gervi invested $ 10 million in the creation of a channel. A year after the basis of the capital, the financial and industrial "ALPHA-GROUP" entered the capital. By 1999, she increased a share in CTC to 25.2%, invested $ 31.5 million.

The channel was headed by a former marketer of Mars Corporation Roman Petrenko (later - CEO of TNT). And in 2002, at the invitation of the President of Alfa-Bank, Peter Avena STS began to manage the producer Alexander Rodnyansky. It was under his leadership that the StoryFirst Holding was called "STS Media" (at that time it was the CTC and its regional "daughters"). The company led preparations for the IPO and gradually efficient assets. In 2005, "STS Media" launched the TV channel "Double", in 2007 for $ 65 million bought the fourth television channel in Kazakhstan - "31 channels", and in 2008, the DTV (now "Che") for $ 395 million.

IPO took place in June 2006 on the NASDAQ American Stock Exchange. "CTC Media" posted about 18% of the shares of $ 380.5 million, capitalization amounted to $ 2.1 billion - it was the largest deal in the history of Russian media. Shares continued to grow - a year later, capitalization doubled, but the company's life after entering the IPO turned into a "complicated exercise," says Vyacheslav Murugov. He came to the company in 2005 at the invitation of the Rodniansky, heading the Department of CTC TV series.

"In the television business, you often need to wait until one or another project is repent, and the status of a public company obliges every quarter to publish detailed reporting. If the numbers fall, pressure occurs from shareholders, it is necessary to go to unpopular measures: to remove projects from the grid before they revealed, "explains the Murugov. The management at the same time works, "like on stage," he says: "Everyone knows who received how much money, which indicators did not fulfill and so on."

In the first half of 2008, the share of Sts Media shares constantly updated records at the peak, the whole company cost about $ 4.7 billion. Under these conditions, the attention of shareholders almost completely switched from the development of content to monitor the exchange quotations, recalls Rodnyansky. Following the new priorities, the owners of the "STS Media" decided to change the head of the holding: at the invitation of Aven for the development of a "more systemic approach in management" (quote on "Kommersant") headed the financier Anton Kudryashov, who previously led the NTV Plus network and entered The Board of Directors of the Publishing House "Poshishe".

He was changed in the position of the Director of the Rodnansky, but the latter remained in the company - on a specially created "strategic" post of President "STS Media". At the same time, the company appeared the position of the general producer - they became Murugov, who by that time Doros to the position of the executive producer of the CTC. "Anton had to support - to fill the missing skills in the television business. If you simplify completely, it was assumed that one [Murugov] will be responsible for creativity, and the other [Kudryashov] for the business, "explains the Murugov.

From a financial point of view of "STS Media" felt well: only 2009 became relatively unsuccessful - the revenue fell to $ 506 million from $ 640 million in 2008, the company explained this to a reduction in the advertising market in a crisis and the weakening of the ruble exchange rate (net profit increased to $ 100 million from $ 22.5 million in 2008). In 2010, the Holding increased revenue to $ 601.3 million, net profit - up to $ 145.7 million.

At the same time, it began to gain popularity with a competitor CTC - the TNT channel TNT. "TNT was not a public television company, there all tried to do all the most importantly - a library of high-quality content, and all financial problems were solved on the basis of this task, even if the program cost more than its calculated profitability. In the "STS Media" at that time, projected ratings were made at this time, the regulations of profitability and a bunch of other indicators were established, "says the former producer of TNT Dmitry Troitsky, while working at CTC Media, who led by the DTV and Pepper channels.

Rodnyansky is confident that the problems began after an attempt to compete with TNT. According to him, being CEO, he developed STS as a family viewing channel: "A TNT from the very beginning launched another general line of broadcasting - young men are building relationships with young women. For this reason, we and Comedy CLub did not take on the channel, and as a result, the project was perfectly realized on TNT. " As a result, trying to turn from family to the youth channel, "STS turned out to be a secondary product, conventionally speaking, TNT for the poor," adds a producer.

According to Rodnyansky, STS generated 75% of the holding revenue, and its audience fell. If, according to 2009, the share of STS is the number of spectators who watch the canal, in relation to all who watch TV, has grown from 11.8 to 12.2%, then from 2010 to 2011. Looking for the audience from 6 to 54 years It fell to 10.7%, the company's reports are evidenced. At the same time, the dependence on advertising revenue has become even stronger - from 2009 to 2011, its share in the general revenue of "STS Media" increased from 93 to 95%, and the incomes from sub-licensee and their own production continued to fall. In 2009, production companies ("Costilm and Soyo Media", United in July 2011 in the Story First Production) brought $ 1.2 million, in 2011 - only $ 378 thousand. General income from sub-licenseization and own production in 2010 amounted to $ 38 million, in 2011 - $ 15.8 million.

Kudryashov in a conversation with the RBC magazine said that in the period of his leadership the company conceived about the delising to become more competitive in new Russian realities. From the idea of \u200b\u200bgoing with the Exchange, management refused due to high expenses - it would cost "several tens of millions of dollars," the manager says, it is impellent called an accurate amount. "No one prevents how to make solutions to such companies as Apple, Google and Facebook, the public status does not stop them," Rodnyansky objects. In his opinion, the problems began, because "to steer the company, they put the staff, who for general words hid their fright before the challenges of the profession."

"The main problem was the blurring of the brand. Management has ceased to risk in everything, fearing to be mistaken and seek on numbers, ceased to launch such long series as "poor Nastya", "not bothering beautiful," - lists Rodnyansky, who left the "STS Media" in June 2009.

"Russian Murdoch"

In the summer of 2011, Alpha Groups were out of the capital of "STS Media": 25.2% of the holding of the holding for $ 1.07 billion bought Cypriot Telcrest. At the time of the transaction owners of Telcrest there were structures associated with the Bank "Russia" Yuri Kovalchuk and its partners, - NWG, affiliated with it "Mediats", as well as Surgutneftegaz and Itera Media Limited (included in the ITERA group). A year later, the "Rosneft" group "ITER" belonging to Rosneft (renamed RN-GAZ) came out of the "MEDIA", selling 27.88% Telcrest from "Media". Today, Telcrest control retains the structures of the Bank "Russia" and its partners: the bank is owned by 26.03%, ABIT Holding Limited - 29.05%, NMG - 5.29%, Surgutnefsegase - 9.53%.

Negotiations on the sale of Aven led directly with Kovalchuk. "Our package gives rights large than just blocking. By agreement of the shareholders, we actually divided control with the Modern Times Group (Swedish MTG, owned 38.3% "STS Media"). We really had equal rights in the management of the company with our Swedish partner. The new shareholder agreement was rewritten practically unchanged. The structures of Yuri Kovalchuk in the STS received exactly the same rights as MTG, "said Aven Forbes in 2011. Then he called Kovalchuk "Russian [Rupert] Murdoch", specifying that he is the largest media investor in the country. The representative of the Alpha Bank did not respond to questions about RBC magazine.

Six months after the transaction Kudryashov left the company, becoming the general director of VimpelCom. According to him, deciding to leave, he "beat the events": the former SEO "STS Media" claims that the new shareholder has been configured to lead its team and the "loyal general director" to the holding. Kovalchuk Kudryashov did not communicate. He argues that he did not know about the prepared sale of the share of Alpha Group Telcrest: Shareholders conducted negotiations in confidentiality.

And about. The General Director of the "STS Media" after the resignation of Kudryashov was the financial director Boris Podolsky (the Board of Directors approved him in office in June 2012). He led the company for about aven a half years, until August 2013. During this time, the holding slightly increased the revenue - by 5%, to $ 805 million. However, the main problem, the fall in the popularity of the STS, was only aggravated. According to the results of 2012, the share of the channel in the target audience (6-54) fell to a record low of 9.6%. Podolsky from communicating with RBC refused.

In July 2013, the "Vedomosti" called two possible reasons for the resignation of Podolsky: "Insufficient loyalty" Kovalchuk, as well as the lack of a long-term strategy from the "STS". In August 2013, Julian Slazzheva, Juliana Sladen, was appointed, most of whose career was connected with the Mikhailov and Partner Communication Agency. According to the source of RBC close to the "STS Media", Slaryzhen was the "first person of a new shareholder at the post of CEO." Slazzheva itself denied: in an interview with the "Snob" edition, she stated that relations with the shareholder were limited to the fact that the Bank "Russia" worked for a long time with Mikhailov and partners. From commenting for this material, Slaryzhen refused.

In the post of CEO, she had to reduce the dependence of the holding from television advertising, whose share in the revenue continued to grow and in 2013 amounted to 97%. The company had to earn more on content, explains the source close to the management "STS Media". The Russian authorities contributed to the rules of the game of the game market. Less than a year after the admission of the Glory to the post, the State Duma deputies were rapidly working on amendments to the media law, which forbade foreigners to be founders of Russian media and own more than 20% of their authorized capital. President Vladimir Putin signed the law in October 2015, he entered into force from the beginning of 2016.

Customer deficiency

"STS Media" turned out to be the largest to the media asset, which was submitted under the requirements of the new law. At the time of his adoption, most of the shares belonged to foreigners: 38% - Swedish MTG, 36% were in the free appeal to NASDAQ, the only shareholder with Russian beneficiaries was TelCrest. From the day when the deputies have amended the media law, prior to their signing the company's shares fell by almost 51% - capitalization decreased from $ 1.48 billion to $ 728 million. Cheaper "STS Media" cost only in the midst of the 2008-2009 crisis.

A month before the adoption of the law of Salazheva, he tried to bring the company from under strike. She appealed to the State Duma Committee on Information Policy with a request to make an exception for public companies, wrote in October 2014 "Vedomosti" and confirmed RBC magazine source close to the management of the "STS Media". But by the time of the law enters into force, Slaryzheva did not receive, the interlocutor added.

The consideration of the amendments were preceded by the sanctions of the US Department of Finance against the "nearby circle" of Putin. Restrictive measures were touched by the Bank "Russia" and Yuri Kovalchuk: the state authorities banned the Bank's shareholder entry, and also frozen its assets in the country. Since the foundation of "STS Media" was a company with "American registration" - the Head Jurlso CTC Media Inc., a share in which I bought Telcrest was registered in the state of Delaware. Thus, the sanctions were deprived of Telcrest opportunities to increase the share in the holding or sell an asset, and representatives of the shareholder on the board of directors could no longer vote on key issues.

According to the source close to the management of the "STS Media" management, the management had to find a way to meet the requirements of the new law in a short time. "There were many options, up to the most exotic: and transfer to trust management, and the translation of shares in debt obligations," says the interlocutor, familiar with the course of discussions. As a result, two months later, the Board of Directors found an optimal option for the sale of an asset.

"All about everything - from the search for an investor to the closure of the transaction and care from the Exchange - was exactly a year. This is a very little time. ONLY Deliveting is technically occupied by almost six months, "explains the source close to the company's management. According to him, the weary correction "practically did not leave the opportunity to deal with television as such", and the main KPI was the successful restructuring of the company, which is especially valuable to consider the fact that American minorities that "love and know how to sue any occasion," belonged to almost 40 % "STS Media". "The fact that there was not a single court in the end is simply amazing, American lawyers called this Miracle [miracle]," says the interlocutor of the RBC magazine.

In addition to the delisting company, it was necessary to find buyers by 75% of the shares - the share of all foreign shareholders. "The wishing to be catastrophically not enough: the crisis, the market falls, the revenue of all channels is reduced. The market of potential buyers was only 10-15 people, "recall the source participating in the preparation of the transaction. The "STS Media" revenue in 2014 decreased by 15%, to $ 711.4 million, net profit - by 29%, to $ 108 million. The share of STS also fell from 11.3% to 10.2%.

The company became interested in three contenders. Among them is the group Onexim Mikhail Prokhorov, as well as a consortium of investors led by the founder of Amondia by Alexander Akopov and his long-standing partner Leonard Blavatnik, they say two sources close to "STS Media". According to one of them, "in the serious intentions of the consortium, the Board of Directors did not believe," and Prokhorov was "far from the most active applicant." Akopov refused to comment, the representative of Onexim did not respond to the questions of the RBC magazine.

The first contender was the third participant, the "first contact" with which the UBS Bank, hired "STS Media", was carried out as a consultant, - they became Uth owned by Alisra and Ivan Tavrine, UTH (UTUV Holding, manages the channels "Yu" "And disney). Detailed negotiations with buyers led Slazzheva, they say two sources close to the "STS Media".

Renaissance era

In July 2015, Slotheva and CEO of UTV, Andrei Dimitrov signed an agreement that guaranteed the UTV exclusive right to negotiate the purchase of Russian CTC Media business. If the Board of Directors had chosen another buyer, YUT would receive compensation for all expenses for consultants and lawyers.

Usmanova and Tavrin, the Board of Directors of "STS Media" perceived as "strategic interests", tells the source close to the management of the holding. At that time, each of the buyers had a great experience of ownership of media assets. Usmans, in addition to the control package of Youth, owns the publishing house "Kommersant" and controls Mail.Ru Group. Tavrine owns 46.95% of Youth, since 2006 he owns the Radio Choose Group, which unites more than 70 radio stations in almost 20 cities of Russia.

At the end of September 2015, the "STS Media" concluded a final agreement for the sale of 75% of the USER's operational business for $ 200 million. On the closing of the transaction was announced on December 24, 2015. After a few days of Usmanov, in an interview with Russia 24, he stated that he was offered Tavrin to consider buying a share in the "STS Media". At the same time, Usmanov stressed that his partner would participate in the management of the asset. In early 2016, Tavrin, Dimitrov and CEO Kommersant CEO of Kommersant, Vladimir Zhelempin, entered the board of directors of the Russian structure "STS Media". Subsequently, Tavrin was headed by the Board of Directors of the Company.

In May 2016, CTC Media left Slotheva. Tavrin, who a month before that, left the post of the General Director of MegaFon, was considered the most likely candidate for the post of new CEO, they say two interlocutors of the RBC magazine, close to the "STS Media". But, according to the source worked on the Board of Directors, together with Tavrin, a few months after the transaction, his participation in the life of the company "Gradually comes to no". Tavrin never was going to head "STS Media", because his career on TV is no longer interested, he assures a familiar businessman. Tavrin himself for questions of the RBC magazine did not answer.

At the end of May 2016, "STS Media" completed restructuring - the company left NASDAQ. The new head structure of the holding was LLC STS Investments, later renamed CTEC Media: 75% in this company belongs to the Youth, another shareholder became the American CTC Media (its only shareholder - Telcrest).

At the same time, the company announced the appointment of a new CEO: the general director became the Murugov, who left the holding in 2014 due to disagreements with Slaryvaya, says the source close to the "STS Media". During a biennial break, he worked in the studio of Art Pictures Vision, which released the TV series "Molodechka" for the CTS, the films "Spirie", "Stalingrad". The main shareholder of Art Pictures is NMG (80%).

According to Movyov, the proposal came together from two shareholders. "STS Media" is a benchmark of television business in Russia. One of a kind of ideal business model, where there are no state subsidies, everything is subject to exclusively business logic. So I am glad that it was necessary to simply develop what was previously done before me, "says the head of the holding.

"With the arrival of Vyacheslav and his teams in the" STS Media ", the Renaissance era will begin and return to the former heights," hopes Eduard Iloyan, the general producer of Yellow, Black and White, a key content provider for STS. - While the company managed the non-core people in the television business, she began a regressive path from the content company in Financial. " What has changed in the "STS Media" manual over the past year and a half?

General space

The general director of the "Domashnaya" Marina Khripunova is the only head of the channels of MEDIA from the Museum of Museum, which has grown inside the holding. Director of the STS, "Che" and STS Love - Daria Leoni-Phialo, Lev Makarov and Kira Laskari are immigrants from "ProfMedia", which joined Gazprom-Media Holding (GPMH) in 2014. "PROFMEDIA" at that time was led by Olga Paskin - the current general director of NMG.

"It is a great honor for me that all these professionals agreed to be members of my team. Yes, they are coming out of GPM, but we have two large entertainment holding on the market, and people from time to time move from one to another ... All these people worked for a few years ago with Olga [Paska], which headed NMG and is present in general With us space, "comments the personnel coincidences of the Murugov.

"The general space", which the general director of the CTEC Media says, began to acquire the legal outline in the spring of 2017, when the "STS Media" and NMG announced the start of joint sales of sponsorship advertising through the Everses sauz. In the summer, the company also united the purchase of rights to the content and back office. The functions of the latter for both holdings are now performed by the company "Media Business Soluschns", headed by the operating director of the "STS Media" Svetlana Fethyl, in the past vice president of ProfMedia TV. Since June 2017, NMGs belongs to 51% of the shares in all three joint companies.

"The idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a service company for TV channels, which will be engaged in administrative and financial issues, was born in ProfMedia. ProFMedia Business Solutions worked there, which served the holding channels. At the second stage, she had to offer their services to other companies. And since the story was repeated in NMG, it means that Olga believes in this business idea, and the Board of Directors of "STS Media" is in its effectiveness, "explains the market source, familiar with Paskoyna.

The NMG service company can also connect to the NMT and STS Media, but the company has passed a "complex integration process with Disney, so still examines the question," explains the source familiar with the situation. "It would be possible to implement these possibilities to fully at this stage only if we owned 100% asset. In the "STS Media", our share of 75%, in Disney - 80%, and this leads to the impossibility of complete integration of companies, "the general director of the RBC explained to the RBC magazine.

Four sources of RBC magazine, close to the management of the "STS Media" and NMG, say that now holdings that have shared shareholders are, in fact, "one company". In such a configuration, the Murugov is the perfect person at the post office, says one of them: "He is the most suitable leader for a company that can become a production and production block of a large group. And people like Tavrin and Paskin, - already about global management. "

"NmG and" STS Media "have synergy around the television business. All questions that relate to television and content, solves the murugov and his team. NMG does not climb into it, "says a source close to NMG.

All the latest decisions about the change of managers of the CTEC Media managers were taken "in coordination" with the general director of NMG, there are four RBC sources close to the "STS Media". However, the interlocutor of RBC magazine, familiar with the situation, does not agree with such interpretation: "The truth is that the references were given on all these people. Paskina and many Tops "STS Media" worked for a long time in the One Team in ProfMedia. I think Murugov was consulted on candidates, but the final decision took himself. "

Market for two

"It was originally assumed that the buyer" STS Media "will be NMW. The group drew attention to the growing assets that make a profit, "says the source who left the" STS Media "shortly before the sale of YVV.

If the asset immediately bought NMG, the restructuring of the company could end the courts, explains the other interlocutor close to the management of the STS Media: US citizens are prohibited from entering into transactions with persons and companies that have fallen under sanctions. In addition to the Bank "Russia" and Yuri Kovalchuk, the restrictions touched upon his nephew - President of NMG Kirill Kovalchuk. According to the source, Usmanova "persuaded for a long time" to buy a share in the "STS Media" so that the transaction takes place. In the press service of the NMW to the question about plans to buy "STS Media", they stated that the transaction required "significant resources to a limited date," then the group revised the strategy and decided not to participate in the process. Usmanov and Tavrin - large businessmen acting in their own commercial interests in all their projects, added a representative of NMG.

According to the general director of the UNTVER Andrei Dimitrov, the company has always been interested in "STS Media" "as the largest private television holding." In 2015, YUTV offered to buy a substantial minority share, but the holding was interested in the "majority package - ideally 100%." Another source close to the management of the "STS Media" manual assures that when the lawyers prepared a deal [selling 75% "CTC Media"], it was not assumed that NMG would be its final interesting: "Maybe at the level of [Yuri] Kovalchuk and Alisher Burkhanovich [Usmanova] It was clear, but it was unknown even at the level of Julian [Slarying]. "

The interest of Usmanova is logical, argued by the former manager of "STS Media": he could buy 75% "STS Media" to unite with YVV and then get rid of a large asset in favor of NMG. "YUTV has long been a burden for him for a long time, because he rushed into new media - and did the right thing, they earn much more," says the source. The press service of USM Holdings, asset manager Usmanova and its partners, refused comment. The press service of NMG stated that if the shareholders decide to sell YVV, the Group will consider the possibility of buying an asset.

The interest in the "STS Media" is explained by the desire of NMG to challenge the largest private media holding of the country GPMX - the latter more diversified television portfolio, one of the former Top managers "STS Media" believes. "The management of NMG has always discussed GPMH in the context that they are much, just more than more," says a source close to NMG. According to him, "STS Media" is interesting to NMG as "held, successful and well-known brand in the field of essential entertainment television, such an asset is not legally in the NMG portfolio now." In GPMH, their four - TNT, TNT4, "Friday" and TV-3 (the last two in 2016 showed the greatest net profit on the market - 1.1 billion rubles. And 1 billion rubles. Respectively).

From the point of view of cash flows, GPMH and NMG are still incompatible: according to the results of 2016, the revenues of GPMX amounted to 82.2 billion rubles, the revenue of NMG, according to RBC magazine, - 23.17 billion rubles. But NMG approaches the main competitor to the audience, actively increasing the portfolio of television assets.

After the adoption of the law on the prohibition of foreign ownership of the media, Holding Yuri Kovalchuk and partners bought a whole painting of TV channels in foreign broadcasters. For example, 80% of Viasat cable channels (History, TV1000, Russian Cinema, etc.), owned by MTG, in October 2015 bought Anatoly Karjakin, president of the operator of outdoor advertising Gallery, and after a couple of months sold NMG. Later, the composition of the NMG included 11 Cable TV channels of the Discovery network (including Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, TLC and EUROSPORT) - the group also received 80% of the operational business. In May 2016, the joint venture NMG (80%) and Discovery Networks (20%) received control over Russian assets of Turner Broadcasting System, including CNN and Cartoon Network and Boomerang children's channels.

The cumulative share of GPMH telecommunications (along with cable channels), according to MediaScope, is 26.13%. NMG still boasts an audience of 13.34% (excluding the "first channel", but with a share in the pay TV market). But together with the cumulative share of CTC media channels, NMG can close to the competitor, receiving 22.94% of the audience.

Today, the holding "STS Media" officially announced the appointment of Daria Leboni-Phialo by the director of the CTC television channel. Unofficial information about the appointment has spread even in summer, but the company's confirmation has not been received.

Now - from September 1 (namely, then the appointment takes effect) Daria Leoni-Phialo stands for the post, where will be responsible for controlling the channel and focus on the production of content, programming and marketing. Holding "STS-Media" has already announced plans for the new season, so work for a new leader. And so close attention to the appointment is due to the fact that before coming to the "STS Media", Daria Leoni-Phialo headed the TV-3 channel, which under her leadership showed a significant increase.

Recall that the place of the director of the CTC channel until recently was empty.

After her, the powers were divided by Julian Slazzheva and the face form. Moreover, the face of the form was as general director of the channels "Davast" and CTC. Then the "STS-Media" has changed the leadership. Vyacheslav Murugov was returned to the place of the general director of the holding, who previously worked in the top management of STS-Media, Juliana Slazkheva left the company, and after this began to occur in the team. Face Blank, who served as the Director General of both channels, as well as the general producer of "STS Media", moved to the position of the Director General's adviser.
