(https://ftp.radio.ru/pub/2018/12/14.pdf) SOUTH OSSETIA =============== Radio Sputnik South Ossetia on Monday, December 3, went on the air. The first guests in the new format were the Russian ambassador to South Ossetia, Marat Kulakhmetov, and the chairman of the Information and Press Committee, Maria Kotaeva. Radio Sputnik South Ossetia launched FM broadcasting in the Ossetian and Russian languages in November 2016. After exactly two years, radio hosts first spoke live with guests. The press center of the agency held a press conference dedicated to this event. The guests were shown a video, which was prepared by the agency's creative team for today. The head of Sputnik South Ossetia, Vitaly Radnaev, spoke about plans for the development of radio and the expansion of broadcasting. "Finally, Tskhinval heard our voices alive. This is a great event for us, to which we have been walking for a long time," he said. Radnaev noted that the agency will expand broadcasting, covering Leningorsky district. According to him, the broadcast will be conducted in two state languages - Russian and Ossetian, "it will be interesting for both Ossetians and Russian-speaking citizens of South Ossetia." He added that he did not share the opinion that radio is dying out, because in the world of the newest technologies, Internet radio occupies a niche. "South Ossetia's Sputnik primarily broadcasts on the Internet. But we also support the old format - the FM band. We have a large audience and we will expand it," said Radnaev. Sputnik agency congratulated Maria Kotaeva, head of the information committee, with an important event and wished "a good signal and good news." "I congratulate you. Finally, your dream has come true - you are on the first day live. I'm sure that the radio will become relevant and will find its audience," she said. She recalled that in South Ossetia only one state radio station is broadcasting and the development of this type of information resource in the republic will give healthy competition. "Yes, there is a version that the radio is dying out, but the development of all types of mass media will depend on what we give to viewers, readers and listeners. Therefore, it is important to analyze the interests of citizens," added Kotaeva. The release of Sputnik radio on the air is a great achievement and a big responsibility, said Russian Ambassador Marat Kulkhametov. He stressed that, of course, the transition to the new format will open up the horizons and at the same time, the team will need to be more responsible in approaching the issues that they will cover, "especially on the air." "Everything is in your hands. How interesting and diverse you will be giving news, how much your audience will grow. You have room to grow - there is a lot of work, there is a lot of work," said the ambassador. He wished the agency success, development and a large audience. During two years of broadcasting, local content managed to fill with various programs about culture and sports, politics and society, geography and history. The studio of radio Sputnik South Ossetia was visited by hundreds of respondents: cultural figures and scientists, government officials and outstanding athletes, doctors and entrepreneurs. Every weekday the presenters will acquaint listeners with all the events taking place in the republic and abroad, in real time. In addition, absolutely new headings are included in the broadcasting grid. Everyone will find in them something for themselves. We will talk about the past and present of the Ossetian musical art, about the history of Tskhinval and the national traditions of Alania, about cult films and about the game of millions - football.

Radio Center from Moscow, Russia's pioneer of Religious broadcasting has been granted 24/7 License in Latvia to deliver religious radio programming in RUSSIAN language into every RUSSIAN community on the territory of the European part of the former Soviet Union, including Russia, during a time when the Russian Government has restricted the public and private rights of some Christians and religious groups. So, because of this and some other important restrictions and reasons "Radio Center" starts moving from Moscow to Riga. In the future, we will keep only a broadcasting studio in Moscow. We have a very good signal in the dark time in a typical Moscow apartment!

For example, at frequencies of 864 and 1377 kHz, the same transmitter is used, only in the first case a pie chart (otherwise they say - non-directional broadcasting), and in the second - in this situation 67 degrees. If you draw a straight line, it passes through Kazakhstan. I was surprised to find out on some foreign websites about 1000 kW of power (for example, entry from 19 / 11-2018). I did not write this, let it remain on the conscience of the information provider "over the hill". Polish broadcasting was broadcast in the direction of Moscow and St. Petersburg (we mostly live there), but the cost of a 500-kilowatt work is very expensive. It seems that all the ardor of the Poles died when it came through to pay :-( Tried to measure the magnetic field strength when receiving a signal. Not very much like the whole megawatt. The signal is noticeably weaker than with measurements at a frequency of 864 kHz (and one, and in another case direction Central Asia). The cyclone captured the whole south of Russia, snow and blizzard with frost up to - 15. It is wonderful to stand with the receiver and with the frame (professional) in open space, away from houses, lines power lines, etc. sources. (Vasily Gulyaev-RUS, "deneb-radio-dx" & 'open_dx', RUSdx Dec 2) CHINA/KAZAKHSTAN re: Why Chinese radio should teach Russian to Kazakhs in China ... In some DXLDs, international short wave listeners reported Russian language lessons in Kazakh and wondered why Chinese radio should teach Russian to Kazakhs in China. An RFE/RL article "Kazakhs From Xinjiang Say Relatives Not Allowed To Leave China" (Nov 26, 2018 14:03 UT) may shed some light on this. It seems that in times of more friendly relations between China and Kazakhstan Kazakhs from China were allowed to resettle in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan being bilingual (Kazakh, but strong Russian presence in the North) the need for some knowledge of Russian seems obvious. "According to [Kazakh Foreign Ministry spokesman Aibek] Smadiyarov, between January and September of 2018, some 2,500 ethnic Kazakhs had been able to abandon their Chinese citizenship in a simplified process as it had been agreed by Astana and Beijing. [...] After Kazakhstan gained independence following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, many ethnic Kazakhs from Xinjiang and elsewhere benefited from Kazakhstan's state program for the resettlement of ethnic Kazakhs into the country.Many of them obtained permanent residence in Kazakhstan or Kazakh citizenship but continue to visit Xinjiang on a regular basis either to see relatives of due to bureaucratic necessities." With the reeducation camps in Xinjiang/East Turkestan exposed, it seems that China is not willing to let witnesses leave the country.
