We live in the era of Instagram, Tik Tok and YouTube, but nevertheless we do not look back at the TV screen. At a time when television was "bombarded" by programs that center on a well-known character and their fancy stories, Albanians needed "Albania Live".
Since January 6th it has been airing on Top Channel for about 2 and a half hours under the presentation of Erjona Rusi and Flori Gin and is completely dedicated to the common people! It is the voice of stories that, though shaking public opinion, we read only in news portals.
Suffice it to mention here the tragedy of a few weeks ago in Australia, where the Albanian father killed his daughter and son-in-law. During a live chat, "Albania Live" spoke to the father of the murdered boy and also to one of the author's oldest friends.
This program, besides treating it in the presence of psychologists or analysts, creates the opportunity for people closer to the victim or the author to give their version.
Thus, the public gets the full picture of the event and not what is served on the portals and in turn, those directly affected by the event can speak!
The last guest, for example, was the father of Hermes Nikaj, whose story has become the subject of portals, but according to him, Hermes is only the victim of this whole affair.
Although it is a program that Albanians need and come to serve, as it makes us more sensitive, aware and more agile about what happens around us, there is a problem. "Albania Live" airs daily from 12: 30-03: 00, not so convenient for the audience as most people around the clock are still at work. As a consequence, the program does not receive the attention it deserves and neither Albanians are recognized or included in it.
However, if the purpose of "Albania Live" is to be shared on YouTube, it is still on track. Clicks on stories are high as people will always be interested in the actuality, but a different schedule would be much better.
Also worth noting is the chemistry the moderators have with each other. For two and a half hours, she feels she is seeing a reality without filters.
