Pyotr Marchenko (journalist)

Pyotr Valentinovich Marchenko (Russian: Пётр Валентинович Марченко; born December 23, 1969, Moscow) is a Russian television journalist, radio and television presenter. He is the presenter of the weekday summary program News [ru] REN TV since 2015, previously the program Today [ru] on NTV (1996-2002) and the Sunday edition of the program Vremya on Channel One from 2003-2005.

Marchenko was born on December 23, 1969 in Moscow to Valentin Petrovich (1932-1993), a journalist, documentary film editor and to Olga Efimovna (1934-2016), a research fellow.

He studied at the Faculty of Russian Language and Literature of the Krupskaya Moscow Regional Pedagogical Institute, but left the university of his own free will. He also studied for some time at the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University.

From March 23, 1992, he worked as a news editor at the radio station "Echo of Moscow", where he was hired by Sergei Fonton.

From 1996 to 2002, he hosted the news program Today [ru]) on the NTV channel. Initially, he hosted the morning and afternoon editions of this program. He first appeared on air as an NTV presenter on December 5, 1996, and his last time was on September 27, 2002.

After the old NTV team was forced to leave the channel in the spring of 2001, he agreed to work with the management of Boris Jordan. From April 14, 2001 until the end of August 2002, Marchenko (alternating with Kirill Pozdnyakov, later with Tatyana Mitkova) became the presenter of the evening editions of the program "Today". For some time, he hosted the news on Novosibirsk television.

In October 2002, he left NTV and moved to Channel One at the invitation of Konstantin Ernst and Alexander Lyubimov. According to some reports, this happened after his conflict with NTV editor-in-chief Tatyana Mitkova, as a result of which Marchenko, instead of evening broadcasts, began hosting morning and regional broadcasts (the presenter worked in this capacity throughout September).

For 6 years, starting in October 2002, Pyotr hosted the programs "News", "Time", "Night Time", "Sunday Time" (2002-2005, the last news broadcast was on July 10, 2005), "Good Morning" (2006-2008), televised debates of the 2003 parliamentary elections and the 2004 presidential elections.
