Music critic Sergei Sosedov confirmed that he is no longer the host of the program “Beyond Borders” on NTV about the problems of ordinary people. StarHit reports this with reference to the presenter himself.
According to Sosedov, he learned about his dismissal in the studio on the evening of December 9, after the completion of the next shooting.
“I learned from the editor-in-chief that my contract was not renewed. They told me: “A notification came from the channel that NTV no longer needs your services. And the host will also change.” On December 11, everything was announced to the creative team. In fact, I was simply removed, kicked out of the program,” he said.
Sosedov noted that after his departure, the channel continued to advertise on social networks to recruit viewers for the program with Sosedov, but the fact that the program was hosted by another person surprised the crowd. Regular viewers wrote worried messages to Sosedov.
“People loved me, they followed me. The TV version is one thing, the performance I staged there is another: my intonations, my presentation… I wanted to add brightness to this program, which is very difficult and human destinies are difficult. “I wanted there to be no tears, but a way out into the light,” Sosedov recalls.
The critic added that the changing format of the program with “tears, dumped apartments, dirt and everyday problems” no longer suits him.
“I personally find this a terrible ungratefulness towards my job – my professional, inspiring job – because I wanted to do something good and kind in this difficult programme. But on the contrary, they told me: “No, it must be a tragedy!” <…> “Everyone was crying non-stop and I was trying to take the program in a positive direction,” he added.
Sosedov said that the channel’s decision to fire him was stupid and ugly. He was also upset that the dismissal took place without management and official letters.
