Petersburg - Channel 5 is a television channel based in St. Petersburg, Russia, also known simply as Channel 5. Director General: Marina Fokina, Chairman of the Board of Directors: Lyubov Sovershaeva. Channel 5 succeeded the nationwide Leningrad TV channel dating back to 1938, which was immensely popular throughout the Soviet Union during the last years of Perestroika with such programs as "600 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 formed Kultura TV, and the channel continued broadcasting for Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast only. During the tenure of Governor Vladimir Yakovlev (1996-2003) the channel, then entirely controlled by the city adiministration 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. As of now, its owners include Russia Bank, Baltic Media Group, the St. Petersburg city administration, and steel company Severstal. Its politics are similar to those of the state-owned Russian stations, but it is stronger on regional news and is known for its documentaries.Alexei Bessudnov, "Media Map" (183–189), "Index on Censorship", Volume 37, Number 1, 2008, p. 184–185.]
