On March 15, 2018, within the framework of “AmCham Company Tours”, members of the American Chamber of Commerce in the KR have visited the Public Television and Radio Broadcasting Corporation of the Kyrgyz Republic (КТРК). During the tour, participants learned about the history of domestic TV and radio broadcasting and witnessed the workings of “ZhashStan” reality show. Additionally, the tour participants saw the whole complexity of video recording, video editing, the works of TV presenters, as well as the work of a large number of employees behind the scenes. For example, a total number of 17 employees is needed when preparing a TV presenter for the show. During the meeting with the General Director of KTRK, Ilim Karypbekov Mayrambekovich, the participants learned about the structural changes and new working processes of KTRK since 2015. Mr. Karypbekov explained in detail Corporation’s sources of income, preparatory work for celebration of KTRK’s 90th anniversary and positive changes that happened after Corporation built a new open space office at its Administrative building. Further, it was stressed that one of the main goals of KTRK’s Strategy for 2017-2019 is to gradually achieve financial independence from the country’s budget. Tour participants also learned about the changes in KTRK TV family – all channels are now switched to the round-the-clock broadcasting.
