It turns out that TV3 has been teasing viewers for some time with hints: their new season’s bumpers featured a colorful cockatoo parrot, whose meaning has now become completely clear.

The first to reveal this “public secret” was Arūnas Valinskas, who hinted about the contract signed by Saulius Bartkus, head of the company “Be tabu ir Ko” and show producer, with TV3 in the 15 min podcast “VALINSKAS ŽINO”.
“The new television season will be very hot, especially for commercial channels. You probably noticed that in the TV3 channel group and on the TV3 channel there is already a new season’s teaser bumper, where a colorful bird, a cockatoo parrot, flies next to the TV3 logo. And this is a clear hint… I can say that it has already become a public secret in the television world that Saulius Bartkus has signed a contract with TV3 for all the shows ‘KK2’, ‘KK2 Penktadienis’, and all other projects and is moving to his biggest former competitor,” revealed A. Valinskas.
On Wednesday morning, LNK’s general director Zita Sarakienė commented on the situation to the portal Žmonės.lt.
“After 18 years of successful partnership, the paths of LNK and the KK2 team are parting. We are sincerely grateful to the creators for many years of joint work, professionalism, and the journey together. We believe that the time has come for a new stage – changes and renewal are important both for LNK and the KK2 team, and new directions open opportunities to grow, seek new ideas, and create even stronger content for viewers.
We constantly evaluate how the audience and its expectations are changing. This naturally determines our programming decisions. We aim for each season to offer viewers new ideas, strong formats, and quality entertainment content.
We have been consistently developing this direction for several years, as confirmed by the success of our projects. “The Great Choir Battle,” which gathered all of Lithuania in front of the screens, became one of the most prominent television events in recent years and achieved record viewership ratings, while “Serious Matters” is the most-watched Lithuanian series in the country. This shows that quality content that creates emotions and unites a wide audience is what viewers most look forward to today.
Therefore, we welcome the new season by presenting several important news. Viewers will look forward to a new “The Voice of Lithuania” with a renewed team of coaches, new “Star Duets,” the global format “Password” arriving in Lithuania for the first time, with Justinas Jankevičius joining the team. The partnership between the Lithuanian Basketball League and the LNK channel group, ongoing since 2017, is taking another important step – from the next season, the broadcasts of the “Citadele King Mindaugas Cup” tournament will move to the LNK channel group. The “Šeškinė 20” and “Music Detectives” hosting teams are also being renewed, new faces are joining, and we are preparing more new projects. This is how we form diverse, quality content relevant to viewers of different generations,” wrote Z. Sarakienė.
