The program guide of this television company is happy; it has useful programs for the whole family, scandalous talk shows, detective series, and many documentaries devoted to modern reality. “Sincere recognition” is positioned by the creators as a program of the last specified category. But what is this television show really dedicated to?
TV project history
In 1996, the first issues of a new documentary television show appeared on the air of the television company. The first chief editor of the project was Vladimir Kartashkov. The multi-part film was titled "Upfront Confession." The concept is simple and interesting - one issue lasts less than half an hour, so it does not have time to tire the viewer. Each series is dedicated to its narrow topic. The film usually tells the stories of several people. What is important - the program is fully documented, in the frame the viewer sees the direct participants in the described events.
Since the airtime is limited, the presenter does not appear in the frame, but is present only in the form of a “voice-over”. The project is voiced by Sergei Polyansky, yes, it’s precisely his intonations that many associate with NTV. “Sincere recognition” is broadcast today and retains its corporate identity.
Interestingly, in its entire history, the project only three times experienced a change in the chief manager. Vladimir Kartashkov was replaced by Vladimir Zolotnitsky, and in 2005 Alexander Palnikov became the project manager.
What is the difference between “Upfront Recognition” and other documentaries?
For regular NTV viewers, it’s no secret that the channel broadcasts several regular programs on crime and journalistic investigations. The main feature of “Sincere Recognition” is the style of presentation of information. A short documentary from this series tells several stories at once within the same topic. Moreover, the plots related to each of them alternate. At the beginning of the issue they show the introduction to all the stories in turn, then in the same manner they describe the development of events, and finally, three “endings”. At the same time, “Sincere Confession” is a television program without a presenter in the frame. The viewer has the opportunity to draw conclusions on their own by watching a classic documentary.
