The editor of the TV 2 program, Kathrine Haldorsen, replied that the channel had partially cut its “Lauritzen Company” promotions due to the war in Ukraine, but had chosen to broadcast the program because it was an entertainment program.
– Today we, like the whole world, are shaken by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Such a major event clearly affects daily life in media houses like TV 2, but this is especially true for our news department, which has set and changed broadcast schedules, he told TV2.no.
– Our entertainment program is less affected by news images. Although “Company Lauritzen” had a military framework, the program had some similarities to what is happening in Europe today, he continued.
Haldorsen concludes by explaining that the program is a pure entertainment program where participants can test their own limits. The focus is on the story of domination and unity, and therefore not the military itself.
You see Company Lauritzen on Wednesdays at 9:40 p.m. and Saturdays at 8 p.m. on TV 2, and when you want to watch TV 2 Play.
