I was very glad to receive a letter from you with a question! This year, on March 22, Radio Center received permission for daily and round-the-clock broadcasting from Riga (Latvia) in Russian. At present, trial transmissions are being conducted on the old and legendary broadcasting frequency of our AM1485 kHz station in order to determine the antenna tuning and radio signal passing towards Moscow and St. Petersburg. The last test program was held on October 24th. Next week it will be clear about the new tests. In the future, for the implementation of regular round-the-clock broadcasting, we will use the frequency AM1602 kHz. After that, due to various kinds of restrictions in Russia, we will completely stop our broadcasting in Moscow, leaving only one broadcasting studio behind us. You can also listen to us on the Internet. If you have any questions, I will try to answer them quickly. I apologize if there will be delays due to high employment.

According to the Department of Justice, RM Broadcasting LLC, a company operating out of Jupiter, Florida, is required to sign up as a foreign agent because it broadcasts the Russian radio program Sputnik. FARA requires that U.S. individuals or entities register with the government if they are doing political, public relations or financial work on behalf of foreign individuals or entities. The Department of Justice claimed that RM Broadcasting acted as a "publicity agent" and "information-service employee" for the Russian state-owned media company Rossiya Sevodnya. But RM Broadcasting argued that the arrangement was only a run-of-the-mill business deal that did not qualify as propaganda or promotion. The dispute culminated in a lawsuit that was filed against the Department of Justice on October 19 in Florida's federal court. "RM does not create, provide, or have any direct control over the content of the programming, and does not possess the authority to exercise editorial control over the programming," RM Broadcasting owner Arnold Ferolito's lawyer Nicole Waid argued in a letter to the Department of Justice. "RM does not act as an agent, representative, employee, or servant of Radio Sputnik, Rossiya Segodnya. The contractual relationship between the two parties solely consists of the availability of radio airtime between Radio Sputnik and an FCC licensee," the letter continued. In an email to Newsweek, Waid said that RM Broadcasting did not want to register as a foreign agent because the company "fundamentally disagrees with the government's interpretation of the definition of an agent of a foreign government." She also cited privacy concerns. "There are consequences to registering as an agent of a foreign government. First, you relinquish your 4th Amendment rights. The government has the ability to inspect your books and records at any time (including financial statements, emails, etc.). Second, the confidential terms of your business contracts are no longer confidential. The service agreements are posted online with all financial information regarding the business transaction (except bank account information regarding wire transfers)," Waid wrote. "Thus, registering can have a significant detrimental impact on business operations." Nevertheless, court documents revealed that the company was doing a type of public relations work for Sputnik International. In a letter addressed to Sputnik representative Anton Anisimov, Ferolito wrote that the company wanted to provide "proper PR and advertising opportunities" for the Russian media outlet. The broadcasting company shared with the Department of Justice copies of its contract with Sputnik. However, it denied the government's request to provide copies of all communications with Radio Sputnik and its parent company Rossiya Segodnya, which is owned and operated by the Russian government. "We respectfully submit that this request is overbroad, unduly burdensome, and unnecessary," the lawyer's letter read. Reston Translator, another U.S. company that broadcasts Sputnik, registered as a foreign agent last year. But unlike Reston Translator, which broadcasts radio programs, RM Broadcasting only buys airtime for radio stations and resells that airtime to companies like Sputnik. Legal experts said that subtle difference could be debated in court, because FARA law is not well defined. The outcome of the case could have a significant impact on how FARA law is interpreted going forward, according to experts. "The statute is so far-reaching and sweeping, and many terms are not well defined. This leaves room for interpretation. They are arguing about control, about whether there is agency and whether the Russian government can direct or control their activity. These inquiries are very fact-specific, and there is gray area, so it does give the parties an opportunity to argue their case," Tessa Capeloto, a lawyer and expert on FARA law, told Newsweek. "Depending on what happens, it could impact how DOJ interprets control and agency, and it could impact future registrations and how DOJ applies the law." FARA was a little-known law until recently, when several high-profile cases snagged former Trump campaign officials for acting as unregistered foreign agents for Ukraine and Turkey. Earlier this year, President Donald Trump's former national security adviser Mike Flynn pleaded guilty to acting as an unregistered foreign agent for a Turkish company with ties to Turkey's government. In August, former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his associate Sam Patten were also charged for working on behalf of Ukraine. Before 2018, only a handful of FARA violations had been prosecuted in the years since the law was enacted in 1938 to counter Nazi propaganda efforts. In 2016, an audit of FARA conducted by the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General found "widespread delinquencies" in compliance rates. But FARA law has gained a new lease on life ever since special counsel Robert Mueller opened his investigation into foreign election interference in the aftermath of the 2016 elections, and foreign media companies have been thrust into the spotlight. In November 2017, Russian media companies RT and Sputnik officially registered as foreign agents in response to a request from the Department of Justice. In September 2018, the department demanded that two Chinese media companies do the same. Nevertheless, many legal experts and law enforcement agents are confused about what constitutes a FARA violation and when someone is obligated to sign up as a foreign agent. In the case of RM Broadcast, the company's lawyers argued that it was not acting as a foreign agent by simply honoring a contract with Sputnik. RM Broadcasting is ultimately a one-man show run by 75-year-old Arnold Ferolito. According to documents submitted to the Department of Justice, Ferolito is originally from the Bronx, New York, and now lives in semiretirement in Florida. His wife, Olga, is a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Russia. "Mr. Ferolito travels to Russia to visit family and for business purposes, but he does not participate in any activity that promotes Russian interests or values," documents submitted by Ferolito's lawyer read. Last year, Ferolito brokered a deal with the AM radio station WZHF that made Sputnik the only program available on the Washington, D.C.-area station. That likely caught the attention of federal investigators who were looking to curb foreign influence through FARA enforcement. But the U.S. government had its eye on RM Broadcasting for years before the deal with WZHF. In 2013, the Justice Department's counterintelligence unit asked the company to describe all services it provided from Kremlin-linked entities. In that case, the government was interested in the company's ties to the outlet Voice of Russia. RM Broadcasting's relationship with Voice of Russia was terminated in 2014.

(https://vk.com/club171176221) HISTORY DX AND RADIO ==================== We publish an excerpt from a material prepared by the press service of RTRS in July 2016 - the year of the 25th anniversary of the Russian FM broadcast - and on the history of the creation of Radio ROKS: "Today, the radio is always in the access zone - it plays in minibuses, shops, restaurants, fitness halls, sounds at home, on the phone, in the car ... It works on FM. Even instead of the name of the station, they often say: "Listen to 90 and 3 FM". But it was not always so. In the Soviet Union, radio stations could be counted on the fingers, and the abbreviation FM seemed something of a foreign vocabulary. The radio was broadcasting in VHF, MF, DV, HF or by wire - by connecting a three-programmer to a radio in the apartment, they listened to the "Pioneer Dawn" or "The Theater at the Microphone". A real life partner, accompanying us everywhere, the radio was not so long ago. The first FM radio came to us 25 years ago! The last year of the existence of the USSR turned out to be crucial. With the jingle "This is Radio Roks" in February 1991, the era of FM began in our country. Rolling Stones, Deep Purple, Queen, Pink Floyd and other leading lights played on the Leningrad frequency of 102 FM. The appearance in the domestic broadcast of Western rock music, inaccessible in the era of the Iron Curtain, was a real "cultural shock". During the year, Radio ROX embodied the entire domestic FM broadcast. But as early as December 91st - January 92nd, Radio 101 and Radio Maximum went on FM, followed by other stations, now old-timers of Russian broadcasting. Nowadays, FM is being replaced by new digital technologies, the Internet is breathing in the back, streaming services are actively developing. And all the time there are rumors about the demise of traditional radio ... But these rumors are premature. About how FM broadcast originated in Russia, says one of the founders of the first FM radio station Radio ROKS, now the president of the Radio Academy and the general director of the FSUE Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network (RTRS) Andrei ROMANCHENKO. - Andrey Yuryevich, was it not easier to launch "ROKS" on VHF? Why in FM? Indeed, in the USSR, even radio receivers capable of receiving a signal in this range were practically absent. - All the stations that appeared in the 1990s, and this is "Europe Plus", "Nostalgie", and "M-Radio", were broadcast on Soviet VHF frequencies and had this or that state participation. Private station (ROKS - Russian Association of Commerce and Construction) to somehow get on the air, controlled by the ideological department of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the KGB of the USSR, was simply impossible. But inside the Ministry of Communications of the USSR, plans were already ripe to open for broadcasting the range 87.5-108.0 MHz. We knew about this trend. Another reason was that at the end of the 80s people started to travel abroad, they brought FM radio recorders, Mercedes and Volvo appeared on the roads, equipped with FM receivers. It became clear - this is the future of radio. Moreover, working in the Scandinavian editorial staff of the USSR Public Broadcaster and traveling abroad, we saw that the quality of broadcasting in FM is very different from what it was then on our air. But how quickly the user segment of the market in the country will be saturated with FM receivers, nobody knew. This carried certain risks. - Time has shown - the risk is justified. But did they understand it then? - Surrounding us did not understand. It was believed that there were few receivers, they would not listen to the station, and very few people knew about the advertising market. But the time was interesting - restructuring, the borders opened, we were young, we worked not because of money, but to get a real buzz from doing a good product. Initially focused on the experience of colleagues from Eastern Europe. They wanted to be based in Hungary, because they understood that in the USSR private radio would not be broadcast. We agreed to cooperate with Danubius Radio, tried to sign the first advertising contracts. The head of the station György, a wise man with great connections, arranged for us to meet Silvio Berlusconi, who was already engaged in the media business. So easily, we met with Silvio at a regular gas station on the border with Austria, drank coffee and discussed a contract to collect advertising abroad. - Is the first studio located in Hungary? The all-knowing Wikipedia claims that Radio ROX was created in Oslo. - Organize the broadcast from Budapest did not work. We switched to Norway, a country we knew well. They quickly signed an agreement with the largest Norwegian telecommunications company, Telenor, and signed a contract to rent a studio with Radio Oslo. It was from her that at the very end of the 90th year we started working on VHF in Vilnius. A satellite receiver was borrowed there in Oslo. Radio Oslo was aired on FM for a while. After Sergey Arkhipov (the first radio host of Radio, one of the founders of Russian Radio), suggested transporting the studio to the basement of our house. The move took place overnight, without interrupting the broadcast. The studio was in Norway for three years - while our state set conditions that were not commercially viable. News was received from Russia by sprintmail (a prototype of modern e-mail), and in Oslo there were DJs who broadcast it. - To go through all the obstacles of the Soviet state machine, apparently, was the most difficult ... - In the early 90s, we were constrained by frequencies. But the range has already begun to "uncork". The launch of Radio ROKS in February 1991 at the St. Petersburg FM frequency actually became a test for the state. Moscow with all the frequencies appeared almost a year later. But we were not the only ones who broke through this barrier. At the same time, we were working with colleagues from Europe Plus, Radio 101, Radio Maximum, people who understood all the perspectives of FM radio. If we talk about the radio community, it was formed precisely when we consciously or unconsciously worked together to overcome administrative barriers. - In addition to the signal quality, what other advantages did the FM broadcast open, that they fought for it so much? - New station format. In addition, access to FM was the only way to create an independent radio station. - Perhaps, remember the funny moments connected with the beginning of the first ethers on FM? - The Soviet Broadcasting School helped to prevent any absurd stories on the air. Radio "ROKS" was positioned as a "radio in a tie." DJs could carry on the transfer even in slippers or shirtless, because they lived and worked in the same house, but the listener had to get the feeling that the presenters were in a suit and tie. The main thing is a respectful, very confidential conversation with the audience ... ".
