The Kaunas Municipality’s generous support for the awards broadcast on TV3 was announced on the LRT Klasika radio program “Pakeliui su klasika”.
15 minutes contacted Tomas Jarusevičius, Advisor to the Mayor of the Kaunas City Municipality, and asked in what order and why 45,000. The MAMA was funded by the MAMA, what other similar projects were funded, and whether they treated the awards based on this support as an event or as a television shoot.

Asked about what criteria the MAMA awards project received a large number, T. Jarusevičius assured that “the support was provided in an objective manner, taking into account the need indicated by the applicants.”
“It is mainly related to the main circumstance that this year, unlike nine years ago, according to the quarantine restrictions, the tickets for the Žalgiris Arena were not sold to the spectators, which probably came at a great cost and a challenge for organizers. anniversaries, tenths. MAMA Music Awards of the Year, “said the mayor’s advisor.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a show or an event
However, for some time now, another question has been heard in public: whether the MAMA awards were an event or a television shoot. It is its organizers who argue that MAMA should be treated as filming because the events are prohibited. However, the conclusion is that the municipality of Kaunas supported TV3 television.
T. Jarusevičius himself says that he will not decide in what format the event was, and his opinion is irrelevant on this issue.
“In this case, the city financed a project with a very clear and specific objective: to hold an award ceremony. As all this has been implemented in reality, many have their own assessments, which, it is no secret, are quite contradictory.
So be evaluated in a competent and competent manner by the representatives of the relevant institutions, who were interested in this ceremony broadcast on television, “said the mayor’s advisor.

He invited to recall other television broadcasts, such as the annual lighting of the Christmas tree. This past November, this ceremony was remote, and a festive concert of the artists was filmed at the Žalgiris Arena and broadcast on LRT.
It is also worth mentioning the annual awards ceremony held on February 16 and the festive concert dedicated to the Day of Restoration of the State of Lithuania “I am part of you”.
This year it was also broadcast throughout Lithuania from the Kaunas City Hall, and until then it was held at the Žalgiris Arena with a crowd of thousands. Of course, these are events organized exclusively by the city of Kaunas or its broadcasts, but there is no doubt that such examples exist throughout the country and more.
Kaunas is a living and growing city, and in this difficult quarantine period, we feel compelled to make that sad daily routine of “quarantine” clear to the residents of Kaunas, at least on television. We are happy that these broadcasts also reach people across Lithuania, ”concluded T. Jarusevičius.
