The "Avers" television company (Lutsk) will not be able to provide a live broadcast for Viktor Yushchenko. This notification was received today at the Volyn regional representation of the "Our Ukraine" bloc. The live broadcast featuring the bloc's leader had been planned for November 15, when a regional forum of democratic forces will be held in Lutsk. All organizational and technical matters with the television company's management had been agreed upon in advance; until today, active preparations for the broadcast had been underway, and there were no grounds for a possible refusal on the parties' part.
In a conversation with representatives of the "Our Ukraine" Bloc, the president of OJSC "Corporation "Avers," to which the television company belongs, Oleh Velychko, cited an entire list of reasons for the breakdown of the agreement: the sudden illness of an engineer, the studio's technical unpreparedness, uncertainty regarding the location and mode of transmission, and so on.
Representatives of "Our Ukraine" expressed sincere regret to Oleh Volodymyrovych and wished for a speedy resolution of all the sudden problems that have befallen the studio.
The bloc's Volyn representation is absolutely convinced that the problems of the "Avers" television company, like those of many other media outlets, will be possible to resolve in the autumn of next year. We hope that the professional creative team of the "Avers" television company will likewise make maximum efforts to resolve these problems.
