Although it has been 23 years already, Lucie remembers her first day in front of the camera with absolute precision. The now-seasoned presenter had a tough time back then. “I will never forget that in my life. I remember August 5, 1999, when Rey and I broadcast the first TV News. And that was the first time I stood in front of the camera in front of millions of viewers. Exams are something else, there you don’t know the stress and the nervousness when you screw things up. The first Televní noviny was a lot of stress, and when I look back, I can see it in myself,” Borhyová reminisced about the past in the program Face to Face.
To this day, Lucie is grateful that she was seated right next to Koranteng. “He was already an experienced presenter for me at that time, who moderated the weather, so I was sure that if something ever happened, I had my protector there.” Borhyová confided years later that she had been on the screens for 23 years like water. “Of course, a lot of things have changed in television during that time. From technology to people, we changed studies and everything possible. It’s very strange for me because I feel like I’ve been there for a few days.” says Borhyová, who still enjoys and fulfills her work.
What he appreciates most about his profession is the diversity. In that every day the news is different. But there are days when she doesn’t feel like singing and has a lot to do to keep her emotions in check. “The most stressful is Television News, when you announce the death of someone, disasters and the covid period, war. I don’t feel comfortable saying that to the audience,” Lucka confided that she often had a problem with crying.
“How many times have I been moved to tears during the broadcast. I had the feeling that it was visible, but it was not even necessary to see it. But then, when I arranged my entrance, I cried a lot and the make-up artists had to put me together for the next entrance.” says Borhyová.
It is said that the reactions of those around them to their performances as presenters are getting better and better. “In the beginning, people were getting to know us and didn’t know what to expect from us. How long will we be there? Rey and I thought we were a fresh summer couple, basically for the holidays. And it’s been 23 years since the two-month vacation. So Rey and I are the ones who actually keep waiting for us to come and the card won’t work. We expect it can end any day now from that start.” stated Borhyová with a laugh and adds: “These people already consider us as part of their family, by the fact that we enter their living room every day and tell them what is actually happening in the world and at home. So they actually treat us like family and we have a really nice reaction.”
Borhyová did not encounter envy
With increasing success comes envy. What experience does Lucia have in this direction? „To be honest, I haven’t encountered it. No one will ever tell you to your face, whenever you find out something, you’ll probably get a ring from someone, but they won’t tell me or those people, so I live in such sweet naivety that it’s not, Borhyová revealed with a smile.
“I push the negative things away from me. And it’s true that I cut off a few people who are negative and everything is bad, they keep cursing and they still don’t like something and are always dissatisfied with something. This is not how I want to live my life,” added the eternally optimistic presenter.
