Okhlobystin is sure that his new project will interest the audience of different ages - from 16 to 70 years. On the air of the information and journalistic programs of the new channel, it is planned to discuss the latest news with guests representing diametrically opposite points of view. It is in the discussion of different points of view, according to Ivan Okhlobystin, you can find common ground:
For greater objectivity, we will invite representatives of the liberal camp, and representatives of the Ukrainian establishment. Because it is important to know the opinion of all circles. It is important to come to the middle, to what is called the "royal path" in Orthodoxy, where one can still find some common ground on which we agree. Here with them also it is necessary to begin.
Programs of the new channel will be shown on satellite television, and be patriotic.
The project budget is $ 1.5 billion.
The creation of a conservative channel does not mean a negative attitude towards a liberal-minded audience. Okhlobystin suggests stopping to go into extremes, which in recent years have abounded. According to the artist, it's time to move on to polemic and discussion. Despite the fact that to date the talk shows are the most popular format of the programs, the creators of the RKT "Rocket" want to avoid such programs. According to Okhlobystin, the talk show a priori involves a dispute in which one participant is a fool, and the second is a scoundrel. The creators of the channel do not want to be either, so the programs will be built on the arguments of the characters about life.
Ivan Okhlobystin is confident in the unity of the Slavic peoples
The channel is designed for the Russian audience, and for "friendly countries." As you know, the Ukrainian theme excites the actor from the beginning of the Ukrainian Maidan. Okhlobystin firmly believes that the thousand-year history has forever linked the fraternal peoples who will still be together, in spite of today's realities:
... our countries have lived a huge thousand-year history, and whatever feelings we have experienced now, sooner or later we will still be together. Whatever politicians tell us, no matter how we ourselves hitherto hysterically flared from both sides, the objective situation is that we can not move our countries and abandon the millennial history.
