In the final, a counter for the last seconds of the channel’s broadcast appeared on the screens of APR viewers.
At the same time, the journalistic team in the studio lined up opposite the monitor and, when the counter showed 0:00, the ATP employees began to applaud. Some couldn't hold back their tears.
In her farewell speech, the head of the TV channel, Liliya Budzhurova, promised: “We’ll be back. We always come back."
“We must pray to the Almighty, ask and believe that we will definitely hear and see the broadcasts of the APR again!.. These wonderful days will definitely come!” – Mufti Emirali Ablaev assured.
ATR owner Lenur Islyamov said that he received offers to sell the channel, but he refused.
