The North Wind Media Holding bought the Gallery Media-Kazan company, which operated in the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan "Russian Radio", "Police Wave" and "New Radio". The owner of the media holding is Moscow businessman Andrei Mleinik, a well-known media advertising owner of a whole network of stations in the regions. In the "North Wind" explain the deal with the desire to make money and the attractiveness of the Kazan market. At present, Fresh Wind includes branches in 7 regions. It became known about a major event in the radial market of Tatarstan. In Kazan, three radio stations came under the control of the Fresh Wind holding. This is reported by the media holding website. It is noted that the transaction was completed at the end of January 2020. Under the control of "Fresh Wind" were the stations "Russian Radio", "Police Wave" and "New Radio". Previously, they were led by the Gallery Media-Kazan company. Moreover, as Business Online explained in Fresh Wind itself, the media holding acquired the Media Gallery Kazan organization, their Kazan address is the same, 19a Tabeykina Street, the building of the Efir television company. "There have been rumors about the decision of the previous owners to sell the assets in the past few months. However, they were confirmed only now. The new owner is the owner of a large regional radio network, businessman from Moscow Andrei Mleinik, the media holding said in an official response to a request from our newspaper. - According to him, nothing will change for the radio listeners of the broadcast content of these stations - all programs will begin to exit in the previous mode. All obligations undertaken by the previous owner to place advertising campaigns will also be fully implemented. " The Moscow company indicates that now Fresh Wind includes branches in 7 regions: Astrakhan, Volgograd, Tver, Saransk, Bryansk, Novosibirsk, and now also in Kazan (a total of 41 radio stations). "In all cities of presence, the holding has established itself as a reliable partner for its customers. This is confirmed by many years of cooperation with both state and private companies. The management and employees of Fresh Wind have vast experience in the media market, they know everything about creating effective advertising campaigns and are ready to offer their customers to use these tools in Kazan,"the media holding said. In the "Counter.Focus" system, the well- known businessman Roman Abushakhmanov, by the way, the old acquaintance of the owner of "Efir" Andrei Grigoryev, is indicated as the sole founder of LLC Gallery Media-Kazan. It is interesting that both are the founders of Homeowners Association "Kasatkinskiy". At the end of 2018, Gallery Media-Kazan LLC showed a loss: revenues amounted to 8.3 million, expenses - 8.8 million rubles. Moreover, Abushakhmanov is a member of a number of companies involved in the radio business of Samara, Rostov, Togliatti, Kaliningrad, etc., however, some of them either ceased their activities or are in the process of liquidation. At one time, Abushakhmanov headed the Kazan branch of Video International Trend, this organization was the largest operator on the television advertising market in Tatarstan and was in the orbit of the influence of the Efir television company. It is interesting that then the ex-owner of Gallery Media-Kazan LLC was already married to the daughter of the former general director of the STS-Kazan channel, Grigoryev's partner "etherist," Nikolai Shakhovnin. Interestingly, several reputable players on the Kazan radio market at once were unable to comment on the deal, which became known today. One of the newspaper's interlocutors, for example, said "BUSINESS Online" that it only monitors its direct competitors, and there are no leading stations among the ones sold. In the capital of Tatarstan, Europe Plus, BIM Radio and Retro FM are traditionally leaders. Of the three new "Fresh Wind" radios, the highest rating in Kazan is for "Russian Radio", located at the end of the top ten. But, apparently, we are talking about a business deal that is far from politics, in which new owners could be suspected. This was confirmed to us by the regional director of Fresh Wind for Astrakhan, Volgograd and Kazan, Elena Garcia. "Why is a business being acquired? For the purpose of work, making money. I am not an investor, but this is a commercial project, and Kazan is a very unusual city with a rather interesting market. The radio market is widely represented, why don't we work on it too, if for several years we have been doing this in other cities. In addition, the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan is a millionaire, "she told our correspondent. The 100% owner of Media Holding Fresh Wind LLC, registered in Moscow, is Andrey Mleinik. Recently, his name has been featured several times in the regional media as a buyer of local radio stations. In particular, four years ago, a businessman talked about himself in an interview with MK-Astrakhan, where he was "called the guru of Russian media advertising." "I live in Moscow. According to the first education, a physicist, in the second - a manager. I began to engage in advertising, one might say, by accident, he said. - First, an option appeared to work as an advertising agent. For the first one and a half to two years he worked as a regional television manager. He quickly grew to the head of the department. But there was a conflict, it happens, and I moved to Video International, where I worked for 8 years. From there I went on to create a network of regional advertising agencies, I was assigned such a task as the general director. When it became clear that the conditions that were offered to me did not meet my expectations, I decided to create my own business. And it was not immediately an advertising market. But, when everything happened, within two years we mastered the first cities in terms of advertising. " It was the prospect of a radiant advertising market in Russia that Mleinik explained his interest in this area: "What attracted the radio ... In television, to be honest, we have already reached the ceiling, over the past five years we have done everything we could there. Naturally, the decision came to move on. We examined several segments, chose radio as the closest to television, in contrast, for example, from outdoor advertising and the Internet. As for the acquisition of a radio holding in Astrakhan ... I think this segment is underestimated there. Because investing in radio, my opinion, is the most profitable. " The businessman has the largest number of assets in Volgograd and Saransk (9 radio stations each) and in Astrakhan (8). Kazan became the second city with a million people on this list after Novosibirsk. Alfred Mukhametrakhimov, business-gazeta.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__76369/) * In Russia, the law on foreign agents among the media entered into force -------------------------------------------------- In Russia, a law has entered into force, according to which the media can be recognized as foreign agents. Under the new law, foreign agents among the media are legal entities registered abroad, distributing printed, audiovisual and other materials, and financed from foreign sources. Foreign entities without a legal entity are also subject to the provisions of the law. In addition, individuals who distribute messages in media agents or participate in their creation can be recognized as foreign agents. Within a month from the date of recognition as such, foreign media agents will be required to establish a Russian legal entity. Publications to which this status has already been assigned should have done so before February 1. For violators (more than twice a year) of the procedures established by law, sanctions are provided. Individuals face a fine of 100 thousand rubles or administrative arrest for up to 15 days, and officials - 200 thousand. Legal entities can be fined 5 million rubles. As noted by the head of the State Duma's profile committee on information policy, now deputy head of the government's apparatus Leonid Levin, not all media workers in this status will be recognized as foreign agents. He specified that the law may concern, for example, those who "write some materials related to the socio-political situation". In each case, the decision on a person will be made by the Ministry of Justice together with the Russian Foreign Ministry. According to the Ministry of Justice, the following foreign media are recognized as foreign agents in Russia: Voice of America, Idel.Realities, Caucasus.Realities, Crimea.Realities, Tatar-Bashkir Radio Liberty Service, Radio Free Europe, "Siberia.Realities", "Sever.Realities", "Factograph" and the TV channel "Present." The European Parliament called on the Russian authorities to repeal the new law. MEPs noted that the law on foreign agents in the media contradicts the Russian Constitution and Moscow's international obligations. photo: rosbalt.ru | text: rns.online (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__76368/) * Kaliningradskaya oblast.
