Why is the TNT channel not showing today? Cable TV operators explained why TNT disappeared
TNT has import substitution. The TV channel decided to completely stop broadcasting foreign films. Starting November 20, the channel’s broadcasts will consist only of its own content. Artur Janibekyan, head of the Gazprom-Media Entertainment Television subholding, stated this to TASS.
Evgenia Smuryginacultural commentator for Business FM“The ratings show that a much larger audience receives TNT’s own content than when they show films from the Hollywood majors. In addition, purchasing films is quite expensive. Especially in conditions of a cheap ruble - this is the time. And secondly, TNT already has a fairly large library, they have their own production. And the audience loves this product - both the Comedy Club and the production of TV series. There were very successful ones, for example, “Betrayal” with Elena Lyadova in the title role, there was a very good series, which, unfortunately, was much less successful, “Concerned, or Evil Love.” Such a cute sitcom that could have attracted a much larger audience, perhaps if it had a different name. And, in general, TNT began experiments with the grid some time ago. In my opinion, at the beginning of autumn, film screenings there disappeared on some weekdays of the week. And, apparently, since such a decision was finally made, it means that they made the appropriate measurement of the audience and realized that it was advisable to show their own content and take the path of import substitution.”
At the same time, the channel’s management is not afraid of losing its audience, but, on the contrary, “makes their evening even more interesting.” Starting from November 20, in the slot where foreign comedies used to be, the shows “Where is the Logic?”, “Improvisation”, “Once Upon a Time in Russia” will be shown. Well, on Friday evenings it’s still Comedy Club.
This is a well-informed business decision, although not all viewers of the channel will like the changes, says Rossiyskaya Gazeta columnist Susanna Alperina.
Susanna Alperinacolumnist for Rossiyskaya Gazeta“There was a period in our country when, precisely because they showed foreign films, many channels received good ratings. And TNT was among them, because, for example, “Harry Potter,” shown in January of this year, received one of the highest ratings. TNT loves to show Harry Potter, as we know, and I, as a viewer, in turn, love to watch it on the channel. And I think there are many such viewers. Why did TNT decide to refuse? I think, firstly, they have expanded the content library. Some time ago, TNT even abandoned its own series, giving them to the TV-3 channel, where some of their top managers went. But perhaps I said loudly that I refused the series, but he calmly donated some of the content, because he was confident in the remaining series, such as “Olga” and “Fizruk” and in the great content of the Comedy Club, because he , as you know, already has many branches. And all this is watched, and due to this, TNT’s ratings in the audience from 14 to 44 years old are the best in the country. At the same time, let’s not forget about “Dom-2” and fans of Olga Buzova, in particular, the presenter. Due to its current content, it can afford to refuse foreign content, which cannot be said about the channels of others.”
If this is a new trend, and other channels also refuse foreign content, then very unusual times await us, says Susanna Alperina. Although the needs of viewers for foreign cinema are successfully met by niche channels where only films are shown, and by the same online cinemas. Perhaps TV channels are also being transformed according to the same principle of niche television.
Since July 1, several cable television operators have stopped broadcasting the Russian television channel TNT in analogue broadcasts. According to the official version, the reason is economic,” explained Evgeniy Fedoruk, director of one of the largest operators in Grodno, OJSC GOTTC Garanta. Grodno residents are told by phone that the shutdown is due to a sharp increase in costs. You need to pay for the programs in a currency that cannot be purchased, and the interbank rate is very high. True, TV viewers do not understand why other Russian channels continue to air. “I can do quite well without TDC (television ladies’ club): when it’s there, it’s good, when it’s not there, it’s okay. But “psychics” on TNT is my favorite program, and other channels don’t show this,” Vecherka journalists heard such complaints on Monday. People who called the editorial office insisted that they could not reach their operator to find out the reasons and express complaints. It turned out that citizens agree to either give up a number of lower-rated channels or pay a reasonable price. Unfortunately, today, cable television operators can only offer those who want to watch TNT to connect to the digital package that includes the channel. The issue price from “Garant” is an additional 13,700 per month, plus the cost of a special set-top box. In this case, you need to be connected to an analog package and pay 13,800. It is obvious that if cable companies do nothing, people will simply begin to refuse their services and switch to those who provide more favorable conditions in the hope that nothing will change there. For example, nothing has changed yet for those who are connected to Beltelecom Zala television. - The agreement is concluded by Minsk, but so far there are no changes in the package. TNT is coming,” said Valery Shimak, head of the commercial service of the Grodno branch of RUE Beltelecom. According to our interlocutor, there are no plans to change the cost of services of RUE Beltelecom in the near future. By the way, some cable operators still show TNT in analog format. Among them are “Information networks”. However, there is no guarantee that the situation will remain the same in the future. “Maybe it will, but

On September 17 at 19:10 on the Disney Channel there will be a premiere of the animated series “City of Heroes: A New Story” about the adventures of the young inventor Hiro, the robot Baymax and their friends. This project is a continuation of the Oscar-winning feature-length animated film.
The action of the new animated series takes place immediately after the events of the full-length film “City of Heroes”. Very little time has passed since the young superheroes defeated the insidious villain Yokai and, as it seemed to them, lost Baymax forever. Hiro entered the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, where his older brother Tadashi studied.
There he accidentally ended up in Tadashi's laboratory and found Baymax's microchip, which allowed the young inventor to restore the robot. Together with their best friends - the fearless Go Go Tomago, the pedantic Wasabi, the resourceful Honey Lemon and the resilient Fred - Hiro and Baymax once again became a team of superheroes to continue to protect their hometown from the machinations of insidious villains.
As in the full-length animated film “City of Heroes,” the animated series pays great attention to modern technologies and their application in everyday life. For example, Hiro prints Baymax's armor on a 3D printer, at some lectures at the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology, students sit in virtual reality glasses, and special robots are responsible for cleaning the cafeteria.
The characters of the animated series will show young viewers by their example how exciting physics, chemistry and computer science can be, and what incredible opportunities knowledge of these subjects opens up.
The new series' animation style is inspired by Japanese painting techniques as well as classic Disney films, including 101 Dalmatians. “We settled on traditional hand-drawn animation because we wanted to create a new world and style for our project. We wanted the audience, on the one hand, to recognize their favorite characters from the full-length cartoon, and on the other, to understand that a completely new story awaits them,” says the project’s executive producer, Nicholas Filippi.
