Here's an excerpt from the article in question:
Savik Shuster, who revolutionized TV political talk shows in Ukraine in the last decade, is facing economic, political and even legal troubles that may force him off the air at the end of the year. Such a fate, he thinks, would fulfill one of President Petro Poroshenko’s aims.
Economically, Shuster said that he’s got less than $1 million in the bank, a payroll of 170 people and expenses of $250,000 monthly for his internet 3S.tv station. He’s sold 20,000 memberships, starting at Hr 100 (less than $4). But the club dues cover only 7 percent of the budget for Savik Shuster Studios.
“Finances are the greatest concern,” Shuster told the Kyiv Post in an interview on Oct. 21. “In the last years we have saved some money because we were working on commercial channels. We have no inflow. The advertising market is non-existent. Now we have enough money to go until the end of the year.”
He believes his economic troubles are linked to his political and legal ones.
Two other striking numbers emerged from the interview — 46 and 0; 46 is the number of times that Poroshenko appeared on his shows before taking office on June 7, 2014, while 0 is the number since becoming president.
“The president, it’s a long story, because he is a person who attended our show most of all,” Shuster said. “When we were working on Inter TV, I would get a lot of pressure not to take him” from ex-President Viktor Yanukovych’s administration.
