Pilot zone will appear in April. The Ministry of Communications and Informatization of Belarus has decided to develop a frequency-territorial plan for a network of terrestrial digital sound broadcasting in the DAB + standard. This became known during the seminar organized by the Minsk company Tract Media. By the end of 2019, a roadmap will be developed for the further construction of the network. The development is entrusted to Giprosvyaz. To build a network of digital radio is planned to use the range of 174-240 MHz. It is also known that in the future network three multiplexes are planned with 18 radio stations in each. To build a national network, the infrastructure of NTSC and the network of cellular operators will be used. In Giprosvyaz, we were informed that it was planned to conduct trial operation of a DAB + standard equipment complex with checking the quality of reception of a digital sound broadcasting signal in urban and rural areas, including under the influence of industrial interference. For the formation of the transmitted signal is supposed to use equipment from different manufacturers. To participate in the trial operation invited companies that form the content of broadcasting and the main manufacturers of transmitting, forming and receiving equipment. Specialists from Giprosvyaz OJSC, Beletelkom RUE, BelGIE RUE, Promsvyaz OJSC, representatives of radio companies and equipment manufacturers will be involved in the organization of trial operation. The data obtained from the results of tests during trial operation will be used in the calculation of the optimal frequency-territorial network plan, the development of TNPA, the design of the distribution network, the justification of the choice of equipment. The use of the DAB + standard allows transmitting a multiplexed data stream in which several sound programs are simultaneously transmitted. Multiplex contains: sound program data; auxiliary data, including data associated with the program (channel PAD); multiplex configuration information (MCI) and service channel (SI). As a result, the user of digital radio, in addition to the audio signal itself, receives additional receiver functions (dynamic range control), text display of selected information in the SI channel (information about the selected program), additional options for selecting other programs, and one or more general data services "The traffic message channel (TMC)," commented Andrei Karaim, director of Giprosvyaz OJSC. It will be possible to test the new technology very soon - from April 1, 2019. The pilot zone will be deployed on the basis of "RTPS Kolodishchi". Tests will last until April 19. The issue of demonstration of equipment at the Giprosvyaz stand at the TIBO- 2019 exhibition is also being worked out. tvnews.by (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__72548/) KAZAKHSTAN =========== Kazteleradio JSC has installed new radio transmitters at 12 radio and television stations in Almaty, East Kazakhstan and Turkestan regions.

Media holding Vesti Ukraine (MHVU) appealed to the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) with the requirement to verify the facts of corruption crimes committed by officials of the National Council on Television and Radio Broadcasting, the media holding said on Wednesday. The main reason for this appeal is the refusal of the National Council to extend the term of the radio broadcasting license of Radio Vesti. For its part, the media holding suspects the regulator in exceeding official authority and bias against the HCVU. At the same time, the Moscow Art University declares its plans to protect its rights and interests, as well as to challenge in court all further, in its opinion, illegal actions and decisions of the National Council on television and radio broadcasting. As reported, MHVU is protesting against the decision of the National Council on TV and Radio Broadcasting to put the Kiev frequencies previously owned by Radio Vesti to the contest. In November 2018, the National Broadcasting Council imposed a fine of more than 20 thousand UAH on Radio Vesti because of a violation of the law on language quotas. In March 2017, the National Council on TV broadcasting refused to renew the broadcasting license of TRK DIVOSVIT LLC (Kiev, broadcasts under the Radio Vesti logo), which expired in February of the same year.

The press service of Sputnik reported. Until recently, the media company was broadcasting under the brand SNA Radio. "SNA Radio (as part of the international news agency Sputnik) has to stop broadcasting in Berlin and the neighboring federal state of Brandenburg since March 1" the media company press service reported, noting that "this step was dictated by the rulings of the regional courts." Earlier, a local court confirmed the legality of the decision of the media office not to issue a permanent license for digital broadcasting of the station, which included in its programming grid content prepared by Sputnik, noted in Sputnik. The radio station was broadcast in Berlin and Brandenburg with a temporary license in force. At the end of last year, the radio station sent a request for a permanent license, but this request was rejected. The regulator explained the refusal, in particular, by the fact that the radio station financially depends on the "Russia Today" MIA, broadcasting its content on its air about 12 hours a day. "The authorities also did not accept the fact that the owner of the frequencies does not control the content of the channel."

Radio Center Moscow, a pioneer of Religious broadcasting in Russia, has been granted a license for operating a powerful AM transmitter in Riga, Latvia to deliver Christian programming in RUSSIAN language into every RUSSIAN community in Eastern Europe, including Russia proper -- during a time when the Russian Government has restricted the rights of many Christians groups. Due to growing restrictions and governmental interference, Radio Center is moving from Moscow to Riga while keeping our radio studio in Moscow. Our NEW frequency on AM dial is 1602 kHz. On February 2019 Russian lawmakers backed a bill aimed at isolating the country's Internet from the rest of the world to secure it in the event of a cyber attack or other threat. The creation of this "red button" that gives the State more ways of disconnecting the country from the global network could further isolate Russians from the rest of the world. As a result, only conventional radio waves can reach our listeners in Russia! OUR MINISTRY NEEDS ARE: NEW AM TRANSMITTER NEW ANTENNA (a location in Latvia close to Russian State border) STUDIO & BROADCAST EQUIPMENT PRODUCTION COSTS ELECTRICITY BILLS We invite you to partner with us.

"SNA Radio (as part of the international news agency Sputnik) has to stop broadcasting in Berlin and the neighboring federal state of Brandenburg since March 1," the media company press service reported, noting that "this step was dictated by the rulings of the regional courts."

The radio station was broadcast in Berlin and Brandenburg with a temporary license in force. At the end of last year, the radio station sent a request for a permanent license, but this request was rejected.

The first time it will broadcast on the Internet, the main task of the new media will be to bring the Western interpretation of the events taking place in the world to the Russian-speaking population. The project, which is currently at the finalization stage, will become commercial and will be self-sufficient in several years, sources at Izvestia are sure. Its funding will be provided by the EU, as well as by private investors: As planned, journalists should be in all regions of the Russian Federation so that news stories are prepared as soon as possible and do not lose relevance. The EU has long wanted to do something similar, so that the European interpretation of events contrasted with the presentation of information in the Russian state-owned media. In addition, according to another source, the European Union expects to attract to cooperation and Russian journalists from opposition publications: The channel will broadcast the point of view on all key information topics. The European Commission did not confirm this information, but did not deny it either.

Built in the early 1950s, since 2002 it has been part of the Moscow Regional Center (MRT), a branch of RTRS. Used for broadcasting in the FM-band (87.5-108.0 MHz). Created by decision of the Council of Ministers of the USSR from 1949. The main objectives of the radio center were: - broadcasting radio programs to foreign countries; - broadcasting of all-Union radio programs; -the creation of interference with the reception of foreign radio stations. The first radio transmitters were commissioned in 1952. Simultaneously with the radio center was built residential settlement Severny. On the territory of more than 800 hectares, more than 30 antennas were installed on 70 antenna masts from 50 to 257 meters high and 13 towers. Antenna system for transmission in the range of short waves was a common-mode horizontal antenna with an aperiodic reflex element. Individual elements of the antenna system could be switched to select the direction and width of the radiation pattern. In 1984, the long-wave transmitter RV-99 with a capacity of 2.5 MW went on the air, including the radio center among the most powerful broadcasting stations in the world. Recently, he worked at a power of 150 kW. January 9, 2014 RV-99 is completely stopped. In 2008, the transmitters of reference time stations RWM (5-8 kW) and RBU (10 kW) from Radio Center No. 9 were transferred here. It was used by the Voice of Russia radio station for digital broadcasting to Europe in DRM standard. On the night of April 1, 2014, these transmitters were turned off due to the liquidation of the Voice of Russia and RIA Novosti.

Information about a strange incident appeared on sites dedicated to supernatural phenomena. According to the staff of one small British radio station, during the evening show the presenter spoke by telephone with the audience. Suddenly, the ether was interrupted by strong interference, through which a human voice penetrated. A man, presumably a military man, spoke of a certain "desert landscape". The presenter turned to the interlocutor, considering what was going on as a joke, but at the other end of the line the soldiers quite seriously began to report about a small civilization that is to the east of it, and describe the environment, suggesting that he was in 5720. According to the man, the air has become very rarefied, so breathing is hard, which affects the health of children negatively. The presenter asked the colleagues to fix the problem, but at that moment the voice demanded the DJ to stop speaking until the signal overlap disappeared. The man stated that he was conducting important reconnaissance and that the interference of radio waves would soon cease. To the speaker's question about whether his interlocutor sends signals to Britain or the United States, the unknown answered that he did not know what the presenter was talking about. The military demanded that someone "deal with the person on the line," saying that he did not know who he was talking to, and from what time this person. "I don't know what year it is from. And, from 2018? No wonder. Quickly separate us, "an unknown contactee said. The connection was immediately interrupted. Radio officials reported that the incident occurred back in December, they are afraid to talk about it, because they believe they can be fired. According to the presenter, he has been working on radio for more than 10 years, but has never before encountered such phenomena.
