Voronezh. --------------------------------------------- In the Voronezh region, on the wave 100.7 FM, the broadcasting of Nashe Radio, which is considered one of the main conductors of rock culture in Russia, began from a message on the official website of Nashe Radio. An interlocutor of the agency, familiar with the situation, explained that Radio "Gubernia" had long considered the possibility of cooperation with a large, recognizable federal partner, and "Nashe Radio" really became it. In accordance with the signed agreement, local content will now be released under the Nashe Radio - Voronezh brand from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. and from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. These will be programs with former presenters, but not so much political or cultural as news and entertainment. At the same time, a significant part, including regional broadcasting, will be allocated to music content in the format of Nashe Radio. Such a division of time into federal and local will allow Radio Guberniya LLC to fulfill all obligations under the concluded state contracts and maintain the appropriate amount of funding in the future. Another interlocutor of the agency suggested that the agreement is purely partnership in nature and does not imply a cash flow. Olga Frolova, PR Director of TV Province, was unable to confirm or deny this information, citing trade secrets: "The only thing I can confirm is the mutual interest in such cooperation. Our interest is to increase the profitability of the project while maintaining jobs, as well as the possibility of integrating the Voronezh region into major events of Nashe Radio. The interest of the federal partner is in reaching the audience of the million-plus city at an already recognizable frequency. " With the conclusion of the agreement, the cost of advertising on the frequency of 100.7 FM in Voronezh increased by about 40%. All funds raised from advertising by the regional partner, at the moment remain at his disposal. As for the presence in the districts, from January 20, broadcasting of Nashe Radio - Voronezh with regional inserts will take place in Ostrogozh, Novokhopersky, Pavlovsky and Kalacheevsky districts. The intention of cooperation between "TV Province" and "Nashe Radio" was announced at the "Leader of the Year" award, but at that time the details of the project were not disclosed. Nashe Radio is a Russian rock radio broadcasting since 1998, known as the organizer of the Invasion festival and the Chart Dozen Prize. According to Kartoteka.ru, Radio Guberniya LLC was registered in 2011 with an authorized capital of 5 million rubles. In 2018, radio revenue amounted to 14.2 million rubles with a loss of 1 million rubles. 100% of the company's shares is owned by Guberniya Studio JSC, which, in turn, was established by the Voronezh Region Property Department. The director of both legal entities is Zoya Gryazeva. According to the Abireg confidant, the conclusion of an agreement with Nashe Radio was agreed by the Gubernia media holding with the founders. Given the fact that the governor of the Voronezh region, Alexander Gusev, has repeatedly expressed his commitment to Russian rock, there is no doubt that he will like such changes on radio waves.

The dismantled mosaic depicted Lenin's quote: "A newspaper without paper and without distances will be a great thing." Kungurov explained that the cause of dismantling was the accidental construction of the mosaic and the possibility of its collapse. Kungurov also noted that they tried to save the mosaic to the last, but this turned out to be impossible. Recall, on January 2, Oleg Korsun, a professor at the Trans-Baikal State University, said that the mosaic at the Radio House was shot down and a banner with a copy of the mosaic hangs in its place. He called it the "triumph of simulacra." Recall also, problems with the state of Soviet mosaics are noted in other cities of Russia. Somewhere they are treated unceremoniously, virtually destroying or changing beyond recognition, as, for example, in Nizhny Novgorod. And somewhere after the protests of the residents, on the contrary, they recognize it as a cultural heritage. For example, in 2018 in Rostov-on-Don, the mosaic panel "Cosmos" located in the underpass was recognized as a cultural heritage site. a photo: Oleg Korsun | text: rossaprimavera.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__76162/) * An exhibition dedicated to the invention of radio will open in Mytishchi. -------------------------------------------------- ------- On Wednesday, January 15, a presentation and opening of an exposition dedicated to the 125th anniversary of the invention of the radio by Russian engineer Alexander Popov will be held at the Dmitry Kedrin Central Library, the Rodniki correspondent was told in the press service of the Mytishchi city administration.

I. Pervushin" on Radishchev Street. It was from this house that Levitan was broadcasting during the Great Patriotic War, Regnum news agency writes. The exposition will be named as follows: "Sverdlovsk: Moscow says." The authorities of the Sverdlovsk region are expected to spend 32 million rubles from the regional budget on the opening of the museum and expect to attract tourists thanks to the new museum. Yuri Levitan - announcer of the All-Union Radio of the State Committee of the USSR Council of Ministers for Television and Radio Broadcasting. People's Artist of the USSR (1980). During the years of World War II (1941- 1945) he read the bulletins of the Sovinformburo and the orders of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief Joseph Stalin. In the fall of 1941, he was evacuated to Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg) along with announcer O.S. Vysotskaya. The Ural studio was located in the basement of an old mansion in the city center. The announcer himself lived in a hut nearby in complete secrecy. Information for radio releases was received by telephone, the signal was relayed by radio stations throughout the country, which did not allow finding the head radio node. In addition to the actual work on the air, he also voiced documentaries that were edited at the same studio. In March 1943 he was transferred to Kuibyshev, where the Radio Committee was already located. Information about his stay in Sverdlovsk was declassified only a quarter century later. It was Yu. Levitan who, thanks to the unique timbre of his voice, was entrusted with the announcement of the capture of Berlin and of Victory. video: Youtube / Sidi Rum / Attention, says Moscow! vedomosti-ural.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__76204/) * Radio center №3 Taldom ----------------------------------- Radio of Russia. 7215 kHz.

This was reported by the Ukrainian Embassy in London on its Facebook. The text of the message does not say what actions are in question, but states that they interfere with search and rescue operations at sea in the Black Sea region. The embassy also noted that the complaint of Kiev and Tbilisi was supported by the United States and EU countries. The website of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine reports that on January 17 at a meeting of the Subcommittee on Navigation, Radio Communication, Search and Rescue of the International Maritime Organization in London, the Ukrainian delegation protested because of the expansion of the service area of the NAVTEX-Novorossiysk radio station. "Announcements of navigation information on navigation safety should be distributed exclusively by the Ukrainian radio station NAVTEX-Berdyansk," said the head of the Ukrainian delegation, Vitaliy Moshkovsky. Ukraine regularly accuses Russia of violating maritime law in connection with the annexation of Crimea. In February 2018, Kiev sent a memorandum to the International Arbitration Court on Russia's violation of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. It stated that Russia usurped Ukraine's rights to regulate its maritime territories.

Later was able to confirm positive ID via audio streaming at their website by also hearing the unique chanting there. One of the presenters today was Peter John Jaban. It will be recalled that he was a co-founder of Radio Free Sarawak (RFS), as well as a DJ/presenter on RFS. He is a human rights activist. Also recall this: "Radio Free Sarawak specialized in allowing native communities to speak out about their problems including deforestation, land grabs and the frenzy of dam building now hitting their regions," which sounds very much like the purpose of the new station. So is Radio Nyawa Sarawak the successor of RFS? Seems to me it is. It will also be recalled that when RFS was on the air, they often had heavy jamming to block their critical assessment about things happening in Sarawak.

I recorded last night's broadcast (9 Jan 02:30 UT on 7780 kHz) to get their take on the Ukrainian plane crash in Iran, which they did discuss a little bit, but had an interview segment about feminism and war after the news and commentary. It was overridden in mid-sentence at 02.59:30 UTC. Does this always happen with their programs? How much longer does the program actually run? I couldn't find a podcast of it.
