President's New Year's address: where to watch online? Every person in our country knows that the New Year is unthinkable without Olivier, tangerines, the New Year tree and, of course, the President’s New Year’s address, which is a tradition to watch. Let us remind you that this year Russian President Vladimir Putin will once again address the residents of the country. The date the appeal was filmed is a secret and this information is not disseminated. Please note that the recorded address on New Year's Eve will be broadcast on all channels. An already established tradition is the demonstration of the president’s address on central channels immediately before the striking of the Kremlin chimes.

Let us remind you that back in Soviet times, a tradition arose 5 minutes before the New Year to congratulate the population of the country on the holiday. This tradition appeared thanks to the secretaries of the CPSU, who recorded the New Year's address in advance. It was later broadcast in anticipation of the big moment. 5 minutes before the New Year, residents of the country gathered at the festive table in front of the TV screen to watch the address of the Secretary General, and then began to celebrate the New Year. However, it often happened that changes in the international situation or the situation within the country led to certain adjustments being made to the New Year's speech.

President's New Year's address: where to watch online? The speech will be broadcast by all central television channels of the country, and in each region it will be broadcast according to local time - exactly at 23.55. Therefore, residents of Vladivostok will receive their congratulations much earlier than residents of the central regions of the country or the capital - but this is a New Year’s tradition.

On the Internet, the President’s New Year’s address can be viewed on the websites of channels with online broadcasting: Channel One, Rossiya-1, NTV, REN TV and TVC.

New Year's technology. Five minutes before midnight local time, residents of all 11 time zones of our country will be able to see the president’s congratulations. It wasn't like that before. In some regions, television programs were shown later or earlier. But now Channel One has made a decision, and the situation will change.

Here they know exactly which channel will be the main one on New Year's Eve. The family from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is waiting for her with special trepidation. For the first time in many years, Kamchatka will see the president's address at 23:55 local time. On Channel One.

“It used to be very disappointing. We were congratulated according to Magadan time, which is one in the morning for us. And now we have a wonderful opportunity to hear the president and raise our glasses to the chimes. Remember your childhood, make a wish,” says Maria Mot, a resident of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.

It may seem nonsense to Muscovites and St. Petersburg residents, but in Khabarovsk the speech of the head of state was shown at one in the morning. And in Kaliningrad, the president addressed the country at 11 pm. The New Year's rhythm was disrupted by the outdated Soviet television broadcasting system.

“Our country stretches across 11 time zones, from Kaliningrad to Chukotka and Kamchatka. But historically, Channel One’s programs are broadcast in five broadcast zones,” explains Valentina Udalova, director of the Channel One Program Distribution Networks Directorate.

These zones were created to compensate for the time difference with Moscow. Zero, two o'clock, four, six, eight. The broadcast was launched with such a shift. But residents of other, odd-numbered time zones had to see television programs earlier or later.

“To correct this historical mistake, this year Channel One for the first time decided to broadcast the President’s New Year’s greetings in all 11 time zones,” reports Valentina Udalova.

That is, in each region, Channel One will show the New Year’s message five minutes before midnight local time. For this purpose, the existing satellite communications constellation, additional satellites, and cable networks are used.

The on-air heart of the entire First Channel - here the television signal is formed to every corner of the country. This is where the New Year's address from the President of the Russian Federation will be launched. To ensure that everything goes perfectly on the night from the 31st to the 1st, they are already testing equipment here and rehearsing the holiday broadcast to all time zones of our country.

It's just not going to be fun here. They themselves need to arrange a holiday for the whole country. 11 times in a row.

“The president, of course, is the most responsible person for us. On the night from 31st to 1st there will be a rather difficult broadcast, you won’t relax here,” notes Anna Stepanova, senior broadcaster of the “Ether” service of the Directorate of Programs of Channel One.

A New Year's gift to TV viewers from Channel One, who literally flooded the editorial office with requests! Millions of Russians only need to keep the air on the First button so that the New Year comes to their home on time!
