Abstract

Thе article presents an analysis of the content produced by Sevastopol TV companies and studios. Based on Roskomnadzor data the authors provide a list of Sevastopol TV channels, describe the thematic and genre features of TV programs. The main research methods are TV channel broadcast monitoring and content analysis. The authors come to the conclusion that the TV space of Sevastopol is heterogeneous. Both state and private TV channels are present in the city media market. The authors demonstrate how depending on the form of ownership and the goals of the founders the editorial policy of TV channels and the thematic focus of programs change. Thus state TV channels cover more of the activities of the Executive and Legislative city government. Private TV channels address problematic issues of the population with some criticism of the authorities. The basis of the broadcast is informational and socio-political programs, the most common genres are interviews and news. The authors also describe video content produced by two organizations that are not registered as separate mass media, such as a branch of VGTRK – GTRK Sevastopol and a TV studio of the black sea Fleet of the Russian Federation.
