Like most of the best sports commentators in the country, today he is a permanent employee of the Match TV television company.
Viktor Gusev
And what about sports commentators on well-known channels? “Russia-1” and “Channel One” are a special brotherhood. Working for these broadcasters is the pinnacle of achievement for most sportswriters. V. Gusev has been working with television since 1992, first as a freelancer and host of the Goal and Sports Weekend programs that were broadcast on Channel One.

Dmitry Guberniev
This sports commentator in Russia is not only one of the most famous, but also one of the country's most beloved TV presenters. Today he is a staff member of the Match TV channel, as well as the editor-in-chief of the Joint Directorate of Sports TV Channels of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company. Twice he was a laureate in 2007 and 2015. He got on television in the early 90s, taking part in a competition for the position of a sports commentator for the new satellite channel NTV +, and then TV-6. His stage speech teacher was Svetlana Kornelievna Makarova, who was the teacher of Ekaterina Andreeva, Leni Parfenov, Mikhail Zelensky and Tina Kandelaki. Today he himself teaches according to her methodology and teaches young commentators.
How to gain popularity
Since 2000, Dmitry Guberniev has become a sports commentator on the Russia-1 TV channels, and then Sport, which later became known as Russia-2. Every year his popularity as a leader increased. The whole country fell in love with the “two-meter long pole”, as he calls himself. Today he is the best sports commentator ("Russia-2" is a channel that can be called his home).
For quite a long time he was the co-host of the morning program " Good morning, Russia!" and other gear. Since 2007, he has had his own author's program - "Week of Sports with D.

Sports commentators in Russia
In the article, we presented the four most popular sports writers in the country. Their voices are familiar to many of our compatriots, and not only, because sports broadcasts that are broadcast on Russian TV channels are also watched by residents of the CIS countries, and these men have become very dear and beloved. As for their faces, we see them less often, but nevertheless they are also recognizable. Russian sports commentators, whose photos we presented in the article, managed to achieve popularity with their hard work, as well as love and devotion to sports.
The Match TV channel determined the list of commentators who remained in the state after optimization. This list does not include Vasily Utkin, Alexei Andronov, Kirill Dementiev and other commentators who worked for NTV-Plus. Georgy Cherdantsev, Gennady Orlov, Vladimir Stognienko, Konstantin Genich and Yuri Rozanov remained on the staff. This was reported by the R-Sport agency, citing its source.
“Not everyone has yet received notifications [of layoffs], including Vasily Utkin, Alexei Andronov and Kirill Dementiev, although they have already been called to the personnel department. Of those who have already received notices, we can name Vladislav Baturin, Vladimir Ivanitsky, Alexander Netsenko, Taras Timoshenko, Yolanda Chen, Mikhail Melnikov, Elvin Kerimov, Alexander Elagin.
An important point is that we are not talking about layoffs or dismissals, the transition to a fee-paying system of remuneration without a fixed salary is a purely voluntary matter. If the employee is against this, he can work for two months on the same conditions, receive payment of one salary and become completely free, or agree to transfer to work on new conditions. Moreover, if the commentator has around 15 work shifts, as we were told, then he will most likely repeat his current salary.
With full confidence, we can say that Georgy Cherdantsev, Gennady Orlov, Vladimir Stognienko, Konstantin Genich, Yuri Rozanov did not fall under the optimization, ”the agency quotes the words of an informant familiar with the situation.
On January 22, information appeared in the media that the management of Match TV had begun to optimize the staff. It became known that Vasily Utkin, Alexei Andronov, Kirill Dementiev, Alexander Elagin, Vladislav Baturin and Elvin Kerimov will be removed from the staff.
“Match TV plans to optimize the number of staff. Tonight, some employees have already received notifications. The channel's management intends to withdraw some of the employees, including some commentators, from the staff. They will be asked to enter into contracts that involve payments only for the work actually performed: commenting on matches and conducting live programs.
At the same time, commentators will have the opportunity to work in other SM I without coordination with the channel administration. Optimization will affect at least half of the channel's commentator staff, ”a source working for Match TV told R-Sport.
The press service of the channel issued a statement explaining that the contracts of employees who are not 100 percent involved will be reviewed. These employees will be able to work in third-party projects.
“By the time the channel was launched in November 2015, about 1,200 employees of the combined editorial offices of NTV Plus and Russia 2 were involved in work on Match TV. In the process of work, some specialists have increased the area of responsibility and responsibilities, while others, on the contrary, have decreased. The first few months we worked in test mode. Now we are introducing the practice of working with personnel, which is used by many television companies.
Now some of our employees, whose time we do not use 100 percent, can freely work on other projects. The previous version of the agreement significantly limited this possibility,” the press service said.
Vasily Utkin, former head sports edition NTV-Plus announced on Monday that it was starting to look for a new job.
Today is three months since the new sports channel "Match TV" began broadcasting. We calculated which of his commentators is the most sought after by the management and spent the most broadcasts.
9th-10th place. Roman Trushechkin. 7 ethers.
Roman Trushechkin, who returned to work at NTV-Plus shortly before the opening of a new one, opens the top ten most sought-after Match TV commentators.
federal sports channel. Trushechkin's journalistic career began back in 1996, but in addition to experience, Roman boasts a memorable voice, ideal for the work of a football commentator. Seven ethers is an excellent proof that Tina Kandelaki also liked Trushechkin's voice.
9th-10th place. Georgy Cherdantsev. 7 ethers.
With the same seven airings, the emotional Georgy Cherdantsev is on the ninth line. His famous “I’ll finish everything now” and “buffoonery” have long become classics of Russian sports television, and Georgy himself is one of the most popular and sought-after commentators in the country. The veteran of NTV Plus is one of those without whom it was impossible to imagine new project called "Match TV". There is an opinion that it is Cherdantsev who is Kandelaki's main favorite among commentators, but looking at this rating, this cannot be said. Although the ninth place also looks honorable.
7-8th place. Vladimir Stognienko. 8 ethers.
Vladimir Stognienko joined the new channel as one of the main commentators of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, and his track record speaks for itself. In addition to the final matches of the World and European Championships, Vladimir had a chance to work at the interrupted game of the national teams of Russia and Montenegro, where, as he himself admitted, “I had to comment on the stadium for two hours.” Stognienko has repeatedly confessed his love for the Italian championship and for one Russian club, whose name is still kept secret. Vladimir does not consider himself a particularly emotional commentator, saying that screams and screams on the air are more for the young. However, he still has his own signature. What is the song of the ChaiF group on the air of the match Argentina - Jamaica at the last America's Cup. Apparently for such non-standard approach commenting Stognienko and was awarded the eighth line of this rating.
7-8th place. Nobel Arustamyan. 8 ethers.
Another big fan of Italian football and Turin's Juventus personally, Nobel Arustamyan, joined the Match TV team, being a commentator on NTV Plus and a host on Radio Sport. On TV, he works on Serie A and Champions League matches. For ten years, I managed to enter the rating of commentators, whose voices we hear on football broadcasts most often.
5-6th place. Alexander Shmurnov. 9 ethers.
Veteran of national sports journalism Alexander Shmurnov spent his nine broadcasts in his usual manner. The vast experience and unsurpassed style of broadcasting could not go unnoticed by Tina Givievna.
5-6th place. Konstantin Genich. 9 ethers.
The journalistic activity of Konstantin Genich began in 2006, when it became clear that the injury he received in a friendly game as part of Amkar, with further continuation football career incompatible. And the first place of work in a new field for Konstantin was NTV Plus. It's hard to say how it would go later career Genich-footballer, but in journalism Konstantin became a real star. The best commentator of the country in 2015 and at the new place of work has not lost the role of one of the most sought after in his field. Nine prominent broadcasts since the beginning of broadcasting "Match TV" is a quite solid indicator, especially when you consider that Genich's matches, as a rule, go to the most responsible ones. And last year, Konstantin had the honor of becoming the voice of FIFA 16 in Russia, along with his colleague Cherdantsev. So the trust on the part of Tina Givievna looks quite justified.
4th place. Roman Gutzeit. 12 ethers.
Roman Gutzeit, at 29, has already become the most active purely football commentator on Match TV. The rapid progress of the young journalist, apparently, made a strong impression on Tina Kandelaki, otherwise how else to explain 12 football broadcasts since the channel began broadcasting? At the end of 2015, Gutzeit was among the top ten commentators in our country, but in the future he will certainly aim for leadership in the ranking.
3rd place. Yuri Rozanov. 13 ethers.
Even before Match TV began broadcasting, there was information that commentators would be prohibited from working in more than one sport on the new channel. But life has shown that this is not so. Rozanov successfully combines the work of a commentator at football and hockey matches. True, Rozanov has much more hockey broadcasts on Match TV than football broadcasts, which may seem strange to many of his fans, because Yuri has always been associated primarily with football. The former voice of the FIFA series in Russia worked 13 broadcasts, 12 of which were on hockey broadcasts.
2nd place. Denis Kazansky. 15 ethers.
Denis Kazansky, like Rozanov, comments on both football and hockey on Match TV. Only in the case of Kazansky, the ratio of the number of airs held in the two sports is approximately equal. Seven hockey games with eight football broadcasts - the statistics of a real all-rounder. Perhaps this quality Kazansky liked Tina Kandelaki so much, thanks to which we hear him on the air so often.
1st place. Alexander Tkachev. 22 ethers.
Alexander Tkachev has long been a voice Russian hockey and with 22 broadcasts is the main favorite of Tina Kandelaki. It seems that it was precisely with his hard work that Tkachev earned the trust of his senior management and, thanks to this, continues to be the most familiar commentator on Match TV to this day. The ability to withstand such loads, as in any other job, comes with experience. Alexander has more than enough of it, because Tkachev has been engaged in journalism since 1988.
In Russia, there are only a few days left before the start of Match TV. But the news about the new sports TV channel, which has not yet been launched, does not cease to fit in bulk on the front pages of various publications with the regularity of front-line reports. Literally every day, readers are informed about the names of those who were invited to work in the new edition, who were not accepted, who agreed and who were refused, and so on. The editors of Tricolor TV Magazine decided to find out who they are - the commentators of the publicly accessible federal TV channel Match TV.

The new free sports channel, which will be broadcast on the frequency " Russia 2, should launch on November 1, 2015. Wu " Match TV” already has its own website, however, on this moment he only reports how much time is left before the start of the channel to the nearest second, there are no other details (what programs, broadcasts, other projects will be shown on the new channel) yet.
You can't find on the portal yet a list of the team who agreed to work for the benefit of the new TV channel. Although, thanks to the public outcry caused by some appointments and near-television events, some Match TV names have long been heard. At first, like thunder among clear sky, there was news that a well-known presenter was appointed to the sports channel Tina Kandelaki, about which they joked, it seems, even lazy, but a serious verbal skirmish ensued between the newly minted general producer and commentator Vasily Utkin.
More than a month Tina Kandelaki and Vasily Utkin , regularly exchanging barbs and caustic jokes on Twitter. This story was followed in better times behind the Brazilian TV series our whole country. In the end, the correspondence exceeded all expectations: neither the emotional journalist himself, who signed the contract with Match TV, nor the TV channel itself, the interest in which turned out to be warmed up so much that they can brew doshirak noodles, remained in the loser.

Meanwhile, while Tina Kandelaki and Vasily Utkin were publicly sorting things out, many well-known TV commentators came to the new sports channel (at the moment, about 30 names are known), but their stories of coming to Match TV turned out to be almost unnoticed. And in vain...
After all, there is no better commentator in our country who, with the same trepidation, passion and overwhelming curiosity, will tell us, the audience, about biathlon than Dmitry Guberniev. He has both fans and spiteful critics, but one thing is clear for sure, that only thanks to Guberniev’s lively and sincere interest in this sport, we know which of the biathletes use crooked sticks, who likes to knit scarves and mittens at their leisure, and who overslept the start who has a second child, and who is unlucky in love - and all this against the backdrop of seconds, penalties, sports records, long-awaited victories and the bitterness of defeats ... The creators of Match TV promised the audience to keep Dmitry Guberniev on the new channel for biathlon in full.

And who, tell me, does not know the best commentator of motor racing Alexey Popov? IN different time he led sports programs, rugby broadcasts and biathlon. But real fame and the title of "Russian voice" Formula 1”he received, subtly and at the same time ardently and passionately commenting on the annual races of fireballs. By the way, it is known that it will be possible to hear Alexei Popov already on the first day of broadcasting the new sports federal television channel Match TV: among other broadcasts, the Mexican Grand Prix will be shown. Also in the broadcast schedule is a documentary about the Russian pilot of Formula 1 Daniil Kvyate.
Did you remain indifferent during football matches, listening to the comments Alexandra Shmurnova, Konstantin Genich,Sergey Krivoharchenko, Vladimir Stognienko, George Cherdantsev,Gennady Orlov? Almost all of them once came to sports journalism from other professions, but this does not prevent them from being true masters of the word and experts in Sports No. 1. Many of them have worked on TV channels until now. VGTRK And " NTV Plus", Now they are all employees of Match TV.
