The publication explains that Kostusev believes it is inappropriate to maintain such an expensive project in the current situation.
The search for a buyer has not yet been successful.
There is an opinion that if Kostusev fails to find a buyer for the TV channel, then the project will simply be frozen.
According to Odessa City Council deputy Igor Dimitriev, Channel 7 employs several dozen employees, including former employees of the disbanded ATV. Channel 7 covers the events of Odessa in the format of streams and news releases neutrally, without any political background.
Dimitriev doubts that Kostusev will be able to find a buyer for the TV channel - it has no commercial value, and the presidential elections are rapidly approaching, and there is little time left to “promote” the political forces.
The deputy clarified that ex-mayor Kostusev himself, after his resignation in the fall of 2013, spent a long time abroad, presumably in London.
