The national television program Every Sunday, created and hosted by one of top Bulgarian journalists Kevork Kevorkyan, completed 25 years on the TV screen. Its first emission was launched on January 7, 1979, on the state Bulgarian National Television.
Living through a couple of breakdowns, the latest lasting for about 10 years, Every Sunday has managed to keep its original ideas and creative spirit.
The host studio of Every Sunday has welcomed more than 4,500 guests, over 35,000 questions have been asked in the prime afternoon time each Sunday.
The state TV program has become very popular with its direct international videoconference bridges, through which world-famous people have participated, live at Every Sunday. Among them are former USSR President Mikhail Gorbachov, French football star and FIFA President Michel Plattini, Russian moviemaker Nikita Mikhalkov, musicians and singers like Zuccero, Andrea Boccelli and the Bulgaria-born Silvi Vartan. World famous writers as Gore Vidal, Jackie Collins, Nobel-winner Dario Foe, Paolo Coello, Mary Higgins Clark, Viktor Suvorov, etc. have also talked to the Bulgarian TV audience.
Rome, Chicago, Monte Carlo, Washington, Moscow, Quebec, Paris, Madrid, Warsaw, Los Angeles, Ankara, Baghdad, Milan, Miami, Jerusalem, London, Stuttgart, and many more towns and cities have brought the world into Bulgarian homes.
The professional ideology of Every Sunday is to present "the world as it is" and to be "the territory of free speech". The "guru" of the TV broadcast, Kevork Kevorkyan, tops all sociological researches for journalistic popularity and public influence.
Armenian-born Kevork Kevorkyan has been working in the state Bulgarian National Television for 30 years, 25 being dedicated to Every Sunday. The program stars also with the international commentator Dimitri Ivanov, who was once the first and only one journalist to dare say publicly in Bulgaria about the Chernobil nuclear disaster in 1986.
Every Sunday is an example for withstanding to pressure, considering the harsh years of ideological censure before democratic changes in 1989, Kevorkyan said at a special press conference held Monday in Sofia Sheraton Hotel. Despite the many turnabouts in the program's 25-year-long history, Bulgarian audience warmly welcomed it back on TV in 2002.
