As reported Nakanun.ru The direct broadcast editor of the Union Svetlana Ladina , the debt was formed as a result of the summer financial pit.

Our television channel – This television is really folk and public . All the years of his life, he was funded only by his spectators – and this is a fundamental position. It gives freedom from any dictatorship – the viewer himself decides what he would like to see on the air and with what present he needs to present this. Naturally, this method of financing is always a certain risk . Such a marathon – Already the fifth for all the years of our existence . The first was In 2007 – It was for survival that the channel was only two years old. Further, the marathon was in November 2013-there they collected money for development, until December last year, the Soyuz shopping mall broadcast to 117 countries of the world. The next marathon happened just In December 2015 And he was associated with leaps in the foreign exchange market, because we pay part of the satellites in currency. And when donations come in rubles, and you need to pay in currency – everything jumped sharply. A week before the New Year, we saved the channel from closing, collected more than 20 million rubles. We managed to purchase video cameras that work both in 4: 3 format and 16: 9. It is necessary to switch to this broadcast format, since the content of the television channel is not only the programs of our production, that is, Yekaterinburg-St. Petersburg-Moscow , but about 70 dioceses of the Russian Orthodox Church, both in Russia and abroad, send us their materials.

Then we had easter marathon – there again a debt of 10 million rubles was formed, we managed to collect even 10.5. And then she went summer financial hole – it always happens. Any charitable organization will tell you that summer is always a donation failure. People go on vacation, make repairs, go to summer cottages, collect children for school – these are very big expenses. Therefore, summer is a financial hole, which usually levels out by autumn. But now, due to the crisis, this has not happened. . For the period from April to September, we owed 44 million rubles for six satellites.

So far we have collected 13 million 700 thousand rubles . It's not enough, most likely a marathon on timing will be extended , – explained Svetlana Ladina.

It is worth noting that in the monthly expenses of the TV channel Union included : payment for six satellites (about 100 countries), broadcasting to 40 cities of the Sverdlovsk region on the air (through transmitters), tax on radio frequencies – 100 thousand rubles. per quarter, 1.5 million rubles. taxes – per month, payment for the work of 200 employees (Yekaterinburg, Moscow, St. Petersburg), as well as the renewal and repair of equipment.
