Thus, the share of Inter’s audience on New Year’s Eve was 25,2%. The closest rival, “1+1,” collected only 21,6%. In third place was TRK “Ukraine” (6,5%), followed by STB (3,9%) and ICTV (3,8%).
“Inter” itself issued a statement that after the ongoing persecution, it made a decision in favor of the “lesser evil” - it decided to take off the air all entertainment programs during the holidays, some of these programs also featured Russian stars. At the same time, the channel's management emphasized that the hysteria over the New Year's concert has no basis - the program did not violate any laws of Ukraine.
Earlier, Ukrainian Security Council Chairman Oleksandr Turchynov called Inter's New Year's Eve broadcast "a mockery of the entire country." Ukrainian Culture Minister Vyacheslav Kyrylenko called for Inter's button to be cut off. Ukrainian Information Minister Yuriy Stets is initiating a ban on individuals banned from entering Ukraine from appearing in Ukrainian media.
