Journalist and host of Public Television\u2019s \u201cActually Today,\u201d Petros Ghazaryan, denies the information spread among the press that Margarita Grigoryan, the executive director of Public Television, interfered with his work and gave instructions.<\/p>\n
Hraparak Daily wrote<\/a> that Margarita Grigoryan personally, from the director\u2019s pavilion, set up the program and urged petros Ghazaryan not to interrupt the guest during the first broadcast of the program \u201cActually Today.\u201d The first guest was the first person on the electoral list of the RPA, Vigen Sargsyan. According to the newspaper, Petros Ghazaryan did not like this, and he pulled out the headphones in the middle of the program. \u201cAfter this incident it was decided that the program will no longer by broadcast live and the remaining programs will be filmed in advance.\u201d<\/p>\n Petros Ghazaryan responded to the publication of the newspaper, \u201cIt is a lie. I asked questions during Kocharyan\u2019s time, during Serzh Sargsyan\u2019s time, and Pashinyan\u2019s time. I assure you that no one has ever intervened with my questions. And removing the headset was done for a very simple reason, clothing was getting in the way etc. There was not content intervention, especially during Vigen Sargsyan\u2019s time when everyone was listening intensely.\u201d Ghazaryan assured that the program was edited in the least.<\/p>\n To the question of whether or not the program is broadcast live, Petros Ghazaryan replied, \u201cThe program is recorded in the evening about two hours before going on air. We do not even have time to technically edit it. We warn the guests, that even if we wanted to, we will not be able to edit. I have hosted a live program for several years on Kentron TV, and have done non-live broadcasts for a few years. Live broadcasts are more affordable to TV companies. When the broadcast is not live, and the guest finds themselves in an uncomfortable situation, they go off air and say \u2018let\u2019s cut this\u2019 and so on. If you don\u2019t cut it, the guest becomes angry with you. It\u2019s bad for you in both situations. When you\u2019re live it just goes and goes on it\u2019s own. Live broadcasts is cheaper on the television station, but we found it technically easier to record two hours before broadcasting it after the Agenda program.\u201d <\/p>\n Gagik Aghbalyan<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Journalist and host of Public Television\u2019s \u201cActually Today,\u201d Petros Ghazaryan, denies the information spread among the press that Margarita Grigoryan, the executive director of Public Television, interfered with his work and gave instructions.
