A couple of weeks after the launch of the program, it was decided to expand the format and introduce speakers. The first broadcast was conducted by Anna Shatilova and Evgeny Suslov.“Usually, all editorial offices submitted applications to the announcer’s department within a week and indicated the name of the program and the announcer they wanted. I go to the board where our schedule is posted. And suddenly I see the “Time” program. I run into the next room to the dispatcher who compiled this schedule and ask: “What is it written? Suslov and I have a program called “Time”. And they answer me: “I don’t know. An application for you has arrived from the information editorial office."

The “Time” program turns into color
In 1970, the “Time” program was first published in color.“I remember the first color report, although there was nothing like that there. I photographed the exhibition of the Itinerants, which was in Tretyakov Gallery. And when I filmed the report, they developed the film, about forty people crammed into the editing room, although only eight people could go in there. Everyone looked, and everyone did not believe. The operator with whom I was filming was asked: “What’s it like? What is this? From Zhora Akopyan, who was in charge of everything for us technical support, there was such pride on his face, because he was also involved in this.”

Why did the editors lick the film?
“Do you know what we did? In order to understand where on the film there is gloss and where there is matte, I’m only talking about “Svema”, we had to lick it. Well, you understand, the mat - it stuck, but the gloss did not. We realized that this was the glossy side and glued it together. And I had a completely terrible incident. I was in a hurry, I was in a hurry, I didn’t look at something, in general, I glued it the other way around. We had a big TV, we all watched our stories. And suddenly on the air I see that my entire delegation, which arrived to celebrate some anniversary, is shaking hands with its left hand. I glued everything together wrong, it turned out to be a DSLR. Here you go, all of me were left-handed. I think it was a delegation from the GDR. And one more time I made a mistake, I also turned the film over, at the convention. Our Ilyich’s profile always looked from left to right, but mine looked the other way around. They didn’t fire me for this either, they scolded me and told me to be more careful.”Natalya Rodionova, editing director of the program “Time” Back to the past Back to the past

Two-way eternal connection
Near Kamchatka and near the Arbat, over the Angara rapids A mournful exhalation: the guys died, like a requiem over the country. No one - no matter how crowned - will finally return to his home. For three hearts, large, human ones. There are fewer hearts in Russia. And what a heavy burden for people who were simply Vitya and simply Gosha, simply Slava - in recent days. Oh, Sailors of rocket launch sites! You left us your charter: even in space, without flinching, die at work. How many untaken pillboxes are in the sky! And as long as humanity exists. the flames of future starships will be an eternal flame in your honor. You are immortal, like the cry: “There is a flame!” And it is not true that the connection has been broken: There is a two-way eternal connection between our Motherland and you.E. YEVTUSHENKO.

We are sitting in the editing room and don’t understand what to do. We run out of the back door of the television center, try to run to the railway station, shooting starts, bullets are flying, they say: “Get down.” We went to bed. I remember my white cloak like this, and I was crawling through this October slush. We crawled almost to the railway station. Came home. The parents say, you know, your TV center there was set on fire. Yes, I know, I just escaped from there, but I didn’t tell them how scary it all was there.”Anton Vernitsky, commentator for the correspondents department of the Vremya program Back to the past Back to the past

In 1987, the morning repeats were turned off, and the morning entertainment and news program began airing instead of Vremya. 90 minutes" In the same year, a sign language interpreter began working on the program. The first translator was Nadezhda Kvyatkovskaya.

For the anniversary, Channel One also published a special project on its website dedicated to the history of the “Time” program: anyone can be transported to the famous studio using an interactive panorama and go on a journey through time.
“I’m glad that at the evening meetings, which end our working day and where the results of our work for the day are summed up, I usually have a reason to tell my colleagues that they are the best information team in the country. I am grateful to everyone who gave a piece of themselves to make this program better. I want to believe that unlike human half-century anniversary, the “Time” program will definitely meet many more dates and celebrate its centenary. She's already proven she knows the secret eternal youth. And in the new year it will come out new studio, equipped with the most incredible modern technologies, which she will try on herself first on domestic television,” said the deputy general director, Director of the Directorate of Information Programs of Channel One Kirill Kleimenov.
Leading programs Time

He began broadcasting news as a young man, winning a newscasting competition shortly after joining TV. Kirillov hosted the program until 1989. Later it was replaced Nonna Bodrova and Anna Shatilova.
Igor Kirillov: “In September 1957, a broadcasting competition was held on television and I was offered to take part in it. There were no men among television announcers in those years - only women. And male announcers were invited from the radio to host “Last News,” which was broadcast twice a day. I prepared for the competition quite thoroughly - I almost memorized half of the Pravda newspaper. After the results of the competition were announced, I headed out of the studio, fully confident that I still had at least two weeks left. At the door I ran into Zakharov, one of the oldest TV directors. He blocked my way and asked where I was going. “You have a broadcast in two hours” Latest news"! Out of fear, I didn’t remember how the graduation went. In memory of the first days of my work, a photograph was preserved: eyes full of horror and standing hair. This is how my life as an announcer began.”
Vitaly Eliseev, presenter from 2007 to the present: “First of all, this is Working with capital letters to whom you spend most of your time. Because even if you are on a weekend, you still watch the “Time” program. You cannot fall out of the information field. Watch all episodes. And at work... this is, firstly, study. Every day I learn something new. Every day I try to change a little something about myself. Of course, this is communication with amazing people who have seen the whole world, unlike me, and have enormous experience in journalism. For me, communication with people who speak their minds is the most valuable thing.”

Gazeta.Ru recalls how it all began and who stood at the origins of the country’s information journalism.
Start
“January 1, 1968... The closer it gets to 9 pm Moscow time, the faster everything heats up, my head is spinning. In the release department there is a continuous ringing. Georgy Kuznetsov is preparing a live broadcast from GUM. Irana Kazakova is already on Pushkin Square - she needs to talk to the people (darkness has gathered!) and headlong to Shabolovka... - recalled TV journalist Alla Melik-Pashayeva, who worked on the program from 1967 to 1973. --
But the broadcast is in doubt: in last moment Thousands of technical problems are discovered!
Press service of Channel One Work process, installation of light in ASB-1, 1979
But in some incomprehensible way, everything, like in a fairy tale, will end well! Irana will make it to the studio, Gera will conduct her report and the first issue will roll like clockwork, and we, its participants, will hug each other as we leave the studio, like people in whose lives something very significant has happened...”
At first, the program was broadcast only 3 times a week and without presenters - work in the studio was replaced by live broadcasts of journalists from the scene. The familiar format appeared only in the early 70s, when the editorial office was headed by the legendary journalist, creator of Mayak radio, Yuri Letunov. The studio moved to Ostankino, and the program itself became color. Since 1972, the timing of “Time” has been 30 minutes.
“It’s hard to imagine now, in the Internet era, at what cost efficiency was achieved.
If we were talking about an important political event that did not take place in Moscow, the film had to be delivered by plane to Vnukovo, from there urgently brought to Ostankino, developed, dried and only after that we could see what exactly was filmed, whether there was a defect, whether editing could begin. Every two minutes, Letunov or the release duty officer called the washing room: “Well, is the film ready? Is it still drying? Why are you messing around there! The air is burning!” said the editor-in-chief of Vremya from 1977 to 1983. Victor Lyubovtsev.

Name and Policy
The program owes its name to the main director Alexei Petrochenko.
“At the end of 1967, four conspirators gathered in one of the editorial rooms on Shabolovka: Iran columnist Kazakova, senior editor Levan Dzaridze, chief editorial director Petrovich (Alexey Petrochenko) and the author of these lines.
…Where did the name that became the brand come from? The debate among the conspiratorial group was short-lived.
Dozens of options, one worse than the other, flashed by like shots, when suddenly Petrovich blurted out: “Time!”
And it seemed to everyone that this particular option was on the tip of their tongues!” recalled the first production editor, Leonid Zolotarevsky.
In the post-perestroika 90s, the name of the program was changed along with the political course. The main information program of the country began to be called “TV Inform”, since 1992 - “Ostankino News”, then - “ITA News”.
“And then they gave us the name back. Do you know how happy we were? It was just... it was an event! After the broadcast we went on a spree!
We were all very happy that our “Time” was returned to us!” said Alexander Onosovsky, who worked at different years columnist, senior editor, special correspondent and commentator for Vremya.
Time and numbers
For the first 10 years, the program was broadcast once a day in the evenings. The program gathered almost the entire adult population of the country in front of the screens - the broadcast at 21.00 became national tradition and a window into the world of propaganda.
Since then, the time of the final release has not changed for 50 years.
The schedule was violated only in some years on May 9 - then the program was put on an hour later, after festive fireworks in honor of Victory Day. Several times the airtime was shifted due to live sports broadcasts.
Since 1978, in addition to evening ones, morning news broadcasts appeared. In the mid-80s, “Time” began to be shown 10 times a day, and famous firsts teleconferences and regular columns, including sports news and weather forecasts. The latter was read by a female announcer against the backdrop of landscapes and city views, and only on Fridays, as an exception, by a researcher at the USSR Hydrometeorological Center.
The program had correspondent bureaus in more than 40 countries. Currently, reports for Vremya are produced by almost 70 correspondents in 22 bureaus in Russia and 12 bureaus abroad. The Directorate of Information Programs of Channel One employs more than a thousand people.

Announcers and presenters
At first, “Vremya” was presented in pairs by announcers - Igor Kirillov and Nonna Bodrova, Anna Shatilova and Evgeny Suslov. The program also included Victor Balashov, Aza Likhitchenko, Vera Shebeko, Svetlana Zhiltsova, Vladimir Biryukov, Yuri Fokin, Leonid Zolotarevsky, Yuri Galperin. In the 90s, the program began to air with one presenter, and the announcer's department was closed.
Dozens of journalists went through the Vremya school: Tatyana Mitkova, Arina Sharapova, Irina Zaitseva, Oleg Dobrodeev, Vladimir Molchanov, Alexander Gurnov, Mikhail Osokin, Zhanna Agalakova and many others.
Since 1997, the permanent presenter and face of the program is Ekaterina Andreeva.
Before becoming the presenter of Vremya, Andreeva worked at Novosti. According to her, the first broadcast in the new capacity turned out to be dramatic.
“When the terrorist attack occurred in Budenovsk in June 1995, two issues of Novosti were supposed to be broadcast simultaneously in different orbits. But the second presenter has not yet arrived at Ostankino. Then someone remembered that I used to work in the voice-over department.
And I was thrown into the water like a puppy on this most complex ether. I still remember how my pulse beat near my throat so that it seemed like I would die of horror.
The managers also watched the broadcast, and they liked how I worked in a force majeure situation; the next day they put me on the air. But I didn’t come to it, I said, I’ll remain an editor. Because I understood that being a TV presenter, especially the Vremya program, is very difficult. I am demanding of myself. Only after some time I was lured to this position. And in 1998, I said “yes”, first of all, to myself. Over the years, I worked in shifts with Kirill Kleimenov, Andrei Baturin, Pyotr Marchenko, Zhanna Agalakova, Olga Kokorekina and now with Vitaly Eliseev,” Andreeva said.
Awards and anniversary
