According to a Weekend source, Anton’s salary is almost double and he will now receive around BGN 12,000 per month. Hekimyan’s ambitions are to attract even more viewers to the BTV screen. You will have to choose who will replace you as the host of the morning block. According to sources in the newsroom, the invitation was addressed to Maria Tsancarova. However, the journalist was not sure he would accept.
“In 2020, BTV had to adapt its program to the Kovid-19 pandemic, leading to less investment in content and loss of viewers. My main goal is to reverse this trend by modernizing the show and content and working for more diverse entertainment and high-quality news across all of our channels.
I appointed Anton because they have the enthusiasm, the experience, the energy and the thirst for innovation that we need to regain our leadership position in Bulgaria, “said Martin Schwehlak.
Venelin Petkov’s fate is unknown. He is the father of a one-month-old baby from his colleague Nikoleta Madanska, who is a sports news anchor. Petkov was scalded when told. However, they were especially happy on television for his removal, Weekend writes.
