“Simply great”: Shatilova on the funny incident with Andreeva during a live broadcast

Not every journalist could handle this situation, in this case Katya is great. I read her statement “stand like a rock”, and she applied it. You never know what happened in the studio: a chair broke or something else. Anything can happen during the broadcast. But she continued reading with such dignity, as if nothing had happened. She is just great! I read people’s comments about this situation, they were simply monstrous, angry. As an on-air person who has also found herself in different situations more than once, I can say that Katya showed professionalism , – Shatilova said.

The incident with the chair occurred during a news broadcast on Channel One on October 12. Andreeva was talking about the International Festival of Archival Films in Moscow. In the recording, she did not make any sudden movements, but at one point the chair broke under her. The presenter stayed on her feet and did not show it, continuing to read the text from the teleprompter.

Earlier, a mishap occurred on the Moscow 24 TV channel during the broadcast of the Victory Parade on Red Square. The correspondent decided to warm up her vocal apparatus with the phrase “One-two-two, this is hard bass, everyone in Adidas tracksuits.” The journalist and sound engineer were threatened with a fine for the overstatement on live air.
