Let it bring you a peace of mind and a huge happiness! RUSSIA ======== Moscow ---------- The First International Radio PI FM radio station stopped broadcasting at a frequency of 71.3 MHz in Moscow. MKR- MEDIA press attaché Sofya Vorontsova commented on this information specifically for OnAir.ru: "Due to changes in the development strategy of the First International Radio PI FM radio station, a decision was made to temporarily stop broadcasting of VHF frequencies in Moscow" 30 On December 12, 2018, at 12:00, Muscovites heard at the frequency of 71.3 MHz the new radio station of the MKR-MEDIA media holding - PI FM. "We are very pleased that we managed to start in Moscow just in time for the New Year. The positive content of PI FM will appeal to Muscovites of all generations, since the hits of different years sound on the air, which can not be helped along. These are songs that are sung in karaoke from year to year, to which they dance at corporate parties and birthdays, these are hits in an incendiary dance treatment that does not let you get bored. Therefore, on New Year's holidays, our music will be 100% popular ", - commented on this event, the general producer of PI FM Igor Irkhin (Azovsky). The audience of the radio station liked the original content, consisting of Russian-language musical hits of different eras and genres in youth dance processing, interesting news, popular science, music categories and interesting special projects from PI FM. The format of the radio station became not only a fresh musical decision in the Russian radio industry, but also a real sociocultural phenomenon. In the spectrum of ambitious tasks of the radio station, the goal was to become a channel for the popularization of the Russian language and a cultural bridge for different countries and generations, coming to every radio and mobile device around the world! The regional broadcasting network of the radio station is developing successfully. On August 1, 2018, Moscow hosted the presentation of the new radio station of the MKR-MEDIA international media holding, and broadcasting at 88.8 FM was launched in the city of Minusinsk, Krasnoyarsk Territory. Literally two weeks later, on August 13, 2018, the flag of the "First International" proudly began to soar on the highest peak of Russia and Europe - Elbrus. In 2018, the broadcasting network of the radio station grew to 9 cities: Kemerovo, Novokuznetsk, Bratsk, Nizhnevartovsk, Gorno-Altaysk, Tula, Irbit and Moscow joined Minusinsk! Frequencies in Petrozavodsk and Neftekamsk were also won. The year 2019 for PI FM began with new achievements: on January 15, the radio station began broadcasting on the Intelsat-15 communications satellite on the platform of the Orion Express operator. A wide broadcasting coverage allowed listening to the First International Radio throughout Russia and far beyond its borders - from Europe to Kamchatka! For the first half of 2019, the PI FM family was replenished with Buzuluk and Anapa, and soon broadcasting will begin at the won frequencies in Syktyvkar, Elista, Perm and Tambov. "The First International Radio PI FM" can be heard not only on the radio frequencies of Russia, but also around the world! The radio station's broadcast is available 24/7 in real time on the pifm.ru website, in convenient applications for the Android and iOS platforms, as well as through direct satellite broadcasting. PI FM - endless musical pleasure! Radio station website: pifm.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__75924/) Komi Republic ------------------------- In Priluzye launched Radio Dacha.

According to him, there are all necessary conditions for creating a state radio station. "You can create a sports radio. From the point of view of the state, the creation of a state sports radio is an issue that has matured, because of our 150 million citizens, 90% support our favorite teams or Russia. A colossal audience, I do not quite understand why state media holdings do not use this audience in order to tell about the successes of our athletes, our clubs. Therefore, the idea is very good, "Olga Baran quotes RB-Business correspondent as saying. He also added that the State Duma Committee on Sports will send an appeal to the state media holdings with a proposal to create a sports radio station. "I will write a letter to all holdings with a proposal to create a state radio station," he added. Earlier in Russia, the Sport FM radio station operated, which operated from June 2006 until August 31, 2018. Later, the station changed the format. According to the statements of the leadership of the sports radio station, the reason for the format change was the lack of profit.

It broadcasts a short, monotonous buzzer sounding tone, repeating at a rate of approximately 25 tones per minute, 24 hours per day. Sometimes, the buzzer signal is interrupted and a voice transmission in Russian is transmitted. The first reports of this station were made in 1973 In recent weeks many reports noticed that the Buzzer was also on 4810 kHz, I started to listen to the frequency but unfortunately for most of North America this frequency is dominated by a Stanag Digital signal making reception of the signal almost impossible. "The Buzzer" twin on 4810 kHz is fully synchronous, with a location apparently near Changdu in China. This makes it even more interesting. I often heard listeners saying that this system is outdated and might be removed eventually, but that seem to not be the case if they have decided to install a second transmitter located in China!

For a long time, Monte Carlo radio did not have an extensive network - broadcasting was carried out in eight cities, including Moscow, St. Petersburg and Rostov-on-Don. Last year, the leadership of the Russian Media Group decided to build and develop a full-fledged radio network under the Monte Carlo brand. In less than a year, the radio station expanded its network by 18 cities. In 2019, 14 cities were added to the network of the Monte Carlo radio station owned by the Russian Media Group holding, 6 of which are included in the Mediascope dashboard. Broadcasting has been launched in Nizhny Novgorod, Saratov, Tver, Vladivostok, Orel, Samara, Omsk and other settlements. In 2020, the Monte Carlo radio network will include 30 cities, of which 12 are in the Mediascope panel. "In January 2019, we actively began to expand the network and very quickly significantly increased our presence in Russia," says Vladislav Kostyuk, Director of the Regional Development Department of RMG. - To us were added both million-plus cities and small cities. In the near future, Monte Carlo radio will be launched in Tyumen, Perm, Kaluga, Orenburg, Volgograd, Simferopol, Naberezhnye Chelny and Nalchik. We have already received these frequencies at the Competition Commission. I'll add that we set a record: only six months from the moment the Competition Commission passed until the product was broadcast." Radio Monte Carlo continues its development in Moscow. The radio market in the capital is well-established - not a single radio station has seen a substantial increase in audience in recent years. In this regard, radio Monte Carlo also became a record holder. Over the past eight years, the share of hearing has tripled: from 238.8 to 642.9 thousand listeners per day. "The audience of Monte Carlo radio is positive-minded people who strive for self-development," characterizes the station. Monte Carlo Radio Editor-in-Chief Anastasia Eliseeva. - The radio station presents carefully selected music of different styles and directions, proven hits from different times, as well as the best new items. Our goal is a balanced, harmonious broadcast. Monte Carlo is a pleasant backdrop to our lives." According to Mediascope, the audience of the Monte Carlo radio station today is high-income people. 53.7% of men and 46.3% of women. The radio station is the official recommended wave in business-class cars in all major taxi services. "Advertisers love Monte Carlo. This is the most stylish radio station, and it helps to build the image of the company, "stressed Elena Kalmykova, Commercial Director of RMG. "And I am very glad that from July 1, 2019, we have been selling ads not only in Moscow, but also over the network."

Adhering to rhythmic, melodic, dance styles. The beginning of broadcasting on February 1, 2015 in the Internet (streaming online) broadcasting. All the equipment of the radio station and the site work in Moscow time. At the beginning of 2015, a group of people showed interest in creating a high-quality and continuous flow of energetic and atmospheric music. Sound experiments took a good part of the time, after which European experts made a number of successful developments and laid the foundation for a new broadcasting format. Together with Russian experts in electronic musical culture, they were able to achieve great success in new broadcast technologies. As a result, we got a ready-made high-quality stream of broadcasting, from which goosebumps will come and create a good dance mood on any equipment with the newest pure quality.

When the station was still broadcasting at 5840, it confirmed the reports electronically; for a printed QSL, it asked for 5 bucks. I really did not regret the miserable dissonant green papers on such a thing .... and finally got a printed QSL postcard in A5 format. In addition to her, Stig Nielsen put all kinds of souvenirs in an envelope, including such a thing as a pennant! And he writes that soon (possibly in December) he hopes to resume broadcasting on 5940 and 15805, but from a new place. Perhaps not from Denmark. Information about the resumption of broadcasting will appear on the site. In the meantime, WMR can only be done via the Internet. This is my second WMR card.
