“Gazprom Media is the leader in the entertainment and sports television segment in Russia. We have built a large production base and brought together great expertise and accumulated experience in launching successful projects. Gazprom Media Entertainment TV channels are exemplary outlets in national broadcasting. The work of our entertainment assets has a huge influence on the operational and financial performance of the Holding. In today’s unstable climate, when the industry is undergoing extensive transformation, we took a logical and well-researched decision to increase the Holding’s involvement in the management of this segment and to increase the involvement of Gazprom Media’s management in the strategic and operational management of Gazprom Media Entertainment TV.
