ArmInfo. The Public Television of Armenia holds the first place in
rating of Armenian TV channels "Unpleasant air" held by Union of
Experts organization, Head of the organization Narek Malyan said at
a press-conference, Monday.

According to him, the monitoring of Armenian TV channels was held
from February till March 2009 by 110 Armenian experts, among them
intellectuals and men of culture. "During the monitoring of 17 TV
channels numerous shortcomings and mistakes connected with advertising
were found out, particularly, we found out advertisements very often
lasting 40 minutes.

There were also flaws in air connected with the language. Very often,
the advertisement is in Russian, English and even Italian, while
actually it is to be in Armenian",- the expert said.

Speaking of the reasons of "victory" of the Public Television, Malyan
said that they are conditioned by the requirements to PTA. The Public
TV channel shouldn’t strive for rating, on the contrary, it should
provide high-quality product and leave a positive trace in the society
as the dotations of PTA ensure its financial independence.

Malyan added that the "Unpleasant air" prize will be awarded to PTA
over this week.
