much more than ratings
In a statement, the board said the show had given TV Nova “much more than ratings.” It described the program as central to building trust with viewers and said it did not deserve to disappear from the schedule.
The editors linked the dispute to other recent programming decisions, including the rescheduling of “Impression of the Week” and the closure of “Think Healthy.” They warned that removing Kesić's program would seriously weaken audience confidence in the rest of the lineup, while no new format could replace what had been lost.
It had a key role in building trust with viewers.
The statement was signed by Aleksa Maksimović, Slobodan Georgiev, Jelena Aleksić, Nevena Madžarević and Marko Novičić. They said they were speaking as media professionals with decades of experience and called on management to reconsider if the shared goal remained for TV Nova to be one of Serbia's leading television stations. They also expressed support for the team working on the program, calling it an integral part of the station.
