Channel 5 succeeded the nationwide Leningrad TV channel dating back to 1938, which was immensely popular throughout theSoviet Union during the last years ofPerestroika with such programs as600 Seconds of its editor-in-chief,Alexander Nevzorov. However, later the channel lost much of its popularity. In 1997 its nationwide network was transferred to the newly formedKultura TV, and the channel continued broadcasting for Saint Petersburg andLeningrad Oblast only.
During the tenure of GovernorVladimir Yakovlev (1996–2003) the channel, then entirely controlled bythe city administration and supervised by Yakovlev's vice-governors for mass media and PR, Alexander Potekhin (1997–2001) and Irina Potekhina (2001–2003), became dragged into political scandals around the city's political elites. In October 2006 Petersburg – Channel 5 was licensed to broadcast nationwide again.[2]
The channel is owned by theprivately held companyNational Media Group (NMD) (Russian:ЗАО Национальная Медиа Группа), a holding company with ties to the Russian government andRoman Abramovich.[3][4][5][6] Thechairman (of a board of directors) has beenAlina Kabaeva since 2014.[7][8][9][10] Olga Paskina has been thedirector general since 2016.[11]In 2010 approximately 72% of the NMD shares were held by the public company «TRK Peterburg» (TRK - Teleradiocompany,Russian:Телерадиокомпания Петербург) which also controls the channel.[12]
According to the owners the Channel 5 maintains its own independent news service,[13] but in reality, the state-owned media channelRussia Today has maintained control over Channel 5 since 2009 and its news programs are subject to the government's editorial decisions.[14]
