Alexander Galybin, who led “Wait for me,” was fired without the consent of the First, and the new candidates were not satisfied with the management of the channel.

The program “Wait for me” has been released since 1998. The first episodes were shown by the RTR television channel (now Russia-1), since 1999 it has been published on ORT (now the First Channel). The hosts of “Wait for Me” were the artists Igor Kvasha, Maria Shukshina, Mikhail Efremov, Alexander Domogarov, Yegor Beroev, Chulpan Khamatova. The program is dedicated to finding missing people who have lost each other. The program website contains data on more than 200 thousand missing people found using “Wait for me”.

In August, Andrei Malakhov and Timur Kizyakov left the First Channel, leading the “Let them talk” and “While all the houses are”. The show “As long as everything is at home” was discontinued on Channel One because of the scandal with the financing of filming videos about orphans, in which the television station “Dom”, as well as its owners Timur and Elena Kizyakov, were involved. Now the program is broadcast by the TV channel "Russia 1". Andrei Malakhov also moved there, becoming the presenter of the program “Andrei Malakhov. Live".

TV host and actor Alexander Galybin will no longer host the program "Wait for me"(production of the TV company "VID") on Channel One.

The program will not leave the broadcasting grid of the First. The TV host himself confirms the information on personnel changes.

As told Galibin, talk that the contract with him will not be extended, began a couple of weeks ago.

“They said that there would be a reorganization, and therefore the structure is changing. It was a strange, non-specific conversation - they didn’t even tell me what exactly was changing. But they added that the contract will most likely not be renewed with me. Maybe this is a new wind trend, but the changes seem very strange, ”the TV presenter shared.


“He asked who would lead, she didn’t answer, asked who would be left, they also didn’t answer me,” said Galybin. “This is strange to me, the program had a very good rating.” "I do not understand what this is connected with, I would like to understand the reasons," the actor added.

In August, the host of the program “Let them talk” Andrei Malakhov switched to the channel “Russia 1 ″, his place was taken by Dmitry Borisov. In addition, on the initiative of Yulia Menshova, the show “Alone with everyone” was closed. Now she, along with Maxim Galkin, will conduct the talk show "Tonight."

In addition, it became known that on the First Channel will cease the program "While all the houses." Its host, Timur Kizyakov, said that he himself had initiated the termination of the contract.

Departure from the program “Wait for me” by presenter Alexander Galibin is not the result of the First Channel policy. This was officially announced by representatives of the Russian television station.

As noted in the press service of the "main TV channel" of the country, Channel One is not related to the decision about the presenter, since the VID TV channel is involved in the filming of the program.

According to KP, the leadership of the First was puzzled to learn that Galibin in “Wait for me” will no longer exist. “VID” presented the candidacy of a new presenter (who was not able to find out yet), which was rejected at First.

Recall, Galibin led the program in a pair with Ksenia Alferova. Will it remain in the project?

“It’s you who don’t call me, but the management!” The actress answered vaguely, which suggests what remains.

Vid President Alexander Lyubimov also left the answer, redirecting questions to Channel One.

According to the KP, Alexander Galibin fell victim to reforms: after the creator of the program, the legendary “Viewer” Sergey Kushnerev, left the project (he died in February of this year after a long illness), tectonic shifts took place in the TV company “ViD”.

Director Svetlana Bodrova (the widow of Sergey Bodrov Jr.) and a number of other employees left the program. The new team had a different concept - apparently, Galibin no longer fit into it.
