Whose channel is Inter? Who owns this channel?

What is Inter Channel and what is it? Are you interested in these questions? Let's figure it out.

"Inter" is a Ukrainian nationwide television channel. His broadcast began in 1996. And to the question - whose channel "Inter" - the answer is one. Its owner is the famous oligarch Dmitry Firtash.

He knows not only every Ukrainian, whose "Inter"

So, more. Whose channel "Inter" will be from now on, it was decided in 2013. As soon as Firtash became its main owner, much has changed. The channel Benckendorf Egor headed. Kiselev Eugene was appointed responsible for information broadcasting .

The new top managers closed the program Bezulik Anna "Justice" and instead she was invited to the channel Savik Shuster. And in March of the same year, the management liquidated the public council. External supervision and censorship of the work were considered absolutely useless. But, knowing whose channel "Inter", everyone was absolutely calm. The proposed innovations of people occupying new positions, quite satisfied. In 2016, by the way, there was another important change. The head of the board was appointed Ekaterina Shkuratova.

Fully Ukrainian channel

And yet, whose channel "Inter"? Who is the master? These issues have not ceased to worry Ukrainian citizens since the country began to conflict with Russia. There are a lot of various disputes, because 29% of the shares here had "First Channel".

Since then, as in 2013, Khoroshkovsky sold his controlling stake to Firtash, much has happened. The amount of the transaction at that time was 2.5 billion dollars. Khoroshkovsky had to leave business because of some problems with the authorities. Although he himself explains his departure differently. According to him, the circumstances were such that he could not further ensure the development of the group. The price, of course, was called overly excessive. But, nevertheless, a little later it turned out that 20% of the shares of the company-owner now belong to Sergey Lyovochkin.

So, in 2015, Dmitry Firtash at the "First Channel" was bought 29% of the shares. The remaining 10% of the company "Pegas TV". Thus, Inter became an exclusively Ukrainian channel. That is, 100% of its shares belong to the companies of Firtash and Lyovochkin (majority and minority stakes).

By the way, according to Krasnyansky Boris, Managing Director of Group DF, it was already planned to buy shares of Inter from Russians. And it is not known how long this would last, if not for political pressure. Only due to this factor the transaction accelerated.

To date, Inter is a television channel independent. The owners plan to develop the channels of the group and increase the socio-political broadcasting - that is, to move forward.

About Dmitry Firtash

Above it was described in detail, whose channel "Inter" (Ukraine). Who the owner, or rather, what kind of person, we will try to understand further. Dmitry Firtash was born in the village of Zinkov in the Ternopil region in May 1965.

In 1984 he graduated from the railway technical school in Donetsk. Over time - and the National Academy of Internal Affairs. After that, there was a service in the army and a lot of ups and downs.

Firtash is considered to be one of the most secretive oligarchs of Ukraine. Until recently, he very rarely talked with journalists. In most cases, only with Russian and Western. Only from the moment of obtaining the right of ownership to "Inter", there he often began to appear.

Most likely, for a multimillion-dollar survey, he decided only because the general interest in his person was too much "overheated" because of his attitude towards Rosukrenergo, a scandalous company that had only recently controlled the bulk of the country's gas balance.

On the marital status of the one whose channel "Inter"

As for the family situation of Dmitry Firtash, he was married to Kalinovskaya Marina. Being married, the couple ran the Chernivtsi firm KMIL. At the same time, Dmitry began to enter the big business. The couple divorced in 2008 with a big scandal. Ms Kalinovskaya tried in every possible way to share her husband's immense wealth in half. To avoid losses, the billionaire was forced even for the time of legal proceedings to transfer his assets to Comrade Minister Boyko.

For today Dmitry is married. Has three children: daughter Ivanna (29 years), Anna (12 years) and son Dmitry (10 years). Most of his time Firtash conducts outside the country.
