No stone will be left unturned! The management of STVR under the leadership of Martina Flašíková starts with the New Year’s cleaning in Mlynská dolina. Back in the summer, he ordered an in-depth audit, which brought interesting results. He talks about long-term inefficiency, overstaffing and lower efficiency of television broadcasting. The technical background, which the previous directors tried to gradually change, is no better.
People often work with outdated technology that can’t keep up with the competition. Boss Flašíková, whom some opposition politicians and non-government women suspect of usurping government power, has studied the audit scenario and, according to its results, is launching the biggest purge in recent years. “The audit provided us with a clear, detailed and data-backed picture of the state of STVR and what system changes are necessary for it to function stably in the future,” explained Martina Flašíková.
Its task is to stabilize, heal and increase the performance of public media. And this cannot be done without mass dismissals, which are the most sensitive passage of the economic document on the modernization of the State Railways. he was finding out whose chair is shaking under his ass and when the first heads will fall.
The press release of STVR, which currently employs 1,700 people, revealed that the first employees will lose their jobs starting in February. “Based on an in-depth personnel analysis, the STVR management decided to reduce the number of employees by approximately 5%,” said Zuzana Vicelová, head of the communication department. There will be dozens of them. According to our findings, the dilution of the state should be done without big names. “They say it looks more like officials and dramaturgs and similar positions. It probably won’t be about well-known names,” our source claims. For now, it seems that the main faces of television can breathe a sigh of relief, even if the entire Flašíková slimming and modernization campaign is shrouded in mystery. Only a narrow circle of management knows what is bubbling under the hood. “I can’t comment on that. Greetings,” Koktejla was written by the presenter of Správ STVR Ľubomír Bajaník, who is one of the most popular and stable pillars of television.
Just like his colleague Janette Štefánková, who is also the holder of many audience awards and is one of the most experienced professionals in STVR. “I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you anything about it because I really don’t have any information about it. I don’t know what’s going to happen, so I can’t tell you,” she told Koktejla, saying that she is fully focused on Saturday’s state awards program, which she will moderate. Another news matador, Viliam Stankay, did not respond to our questions.
However, it would make no sense to strangle these proven stars, because their deployment in old-fashioned presenter pairs in the fall was only the beginning of the reorganization of news and journalism. In addition, it has been enjoying growing audience favor since January and is rewriting its own viewership charts. However, Martina Flašíková announces further changes and news in the near future. “Let yourself be surprised,” she told us in December. The next few weeks will reveal how big a broom the boss finally gets her hands on.
STVR, which is often a thorn in the side of politicians, has already lost a few popular stars. Adela Vincze packed her six plums there after the stopwatch for the show Milujem Slovensko and cutting the interview with her husband Viktor Vincz. She was not convinced to stay even by the offer to take on the new format On the Right Path, which starts this evening on Jednotka. Her partner Dano Dangl also left with Adela.
Not even the actor, singer and entertainer Vladimír Kobielsky “survived” the casting. “No, I won’t appear. I will appear in the Hall of Fame if it is rediscovered in time,” Vladimir joked. “I spoke with the director (Martina Flašíková, editor’s note), so far the project is alive. It is questionable when the new parts will be shown on the screens. I believe that in Slovakia we have many personalities who deserve to be in the Hall of Fame and they will not be forgotten. And above all, that we can do it.” said for .
“Fortunately, the feedback from the viewers is positive and many write to me that they would be happy if we continued,” added Kobielsky. In the middle of the season, STVR also canceled the filming of new episodes of the show Všade dobre, doma naj. “Yes, you have the right information. After Milujem Slovensko, the management of STVR decided to end the successful and audience-popular quiz Everywhere is good, at home is best. So, after years, I no longer have any programs at STVR.” Nicodemus. “Of course, I’m not bashing television as such, but I don’t quite understand the decisions of the current appointed program director (Peter Begányi, editor’s note).” said Martin.
Actress Kamila Magálová also gave up on television. She was shocked by the correction in the Hall of Fame show, which she noticed immediately. She invited former archbishop Róbert Bezák to the show as a guest. “I told him there: ‘Mr. Bezák, I invited you because I respect you, and you know what I regret? That your sheep didn’t stand up for you more and maybe you would have stayed there longer.’ And they cut out this sentence for me!” to which STVR bequeathed that they had to shorten it because it was long. “Did they have to shorten this one sentence?” she thought aloud and she added that she perceived it as a censorship intervention.
Magálová was promised that the entire part would be in the archive, but that did not change her opinion about STVR. “But who cares anymore? It was clearly censorship. As long as this set is in STVR, I won’t set foot there – that’s true!STVR canceled the show Dinner with Havran in June, and the culinary show Veľká sliceka, in which viewers were accompanied by Peter Šarkan Novák and Octavia McKenzie, was also canceled in June. The actress Kristína Tormová, the former face of Build a house, plant a tree, also left the television with a big bang. She is involved in anti-government protests.
