Shares and ratings of radio stations, listening time is quite stable and mature system. According to Mediascope, in recent years, the share of the audience of on-air radio not only does not grow, but also shows a tendency to decrease due to the rapid increase in the share of listening to radio via smartphones. The advertising market remains almost unchanged - and even showing negative dynamics. Against the backdrop of such stagnation, a real breakthrough on the Russian radio market was made in 2019 by Monte Carlo radio station, owned by the Russian Media Group holding. For a long time, Monte Carlo remained a small niche station broadcasting in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don, Kaliningrad and smaller settlements. However, in early 2019, the leadership of the media holding decided to expand the network of the radio station. In 2019, the radio station entered the national dimension of Mediascope and immediately rose by 9 points. In the reporting period - from April to September 2019 - the average weekly coverage of Monte Carlo amounted to more than 4 million people *. In less than a year, the radio station expanded its network by 18 cities. In 2020, broadcasting of Monte Carlo radio starts in nine other cities of Russia - in Tyumen, Simferopol, Naberezhnye Chelny, Perm, Kaluga, Orenburg, Volgograd, Yalta and Nalchik. In 2020, the Monte Carlo radio network will include 30 cities with a population of more than 200 thousand people, of which 12 are included in the Mediascope Radio Index - Cities study, OnAir.ru reports citing the press service of the Russian Media Group. Radio Monte Carlo is positioned as a luxury radio segment. According to Mediascope, the station's audience is above average income people, executives, top managers ... It is worth noting that this niche in the Russian radio market was empty, as a result of which great interest was shown in the development of the Monte Carlo federal network by the regional partners of Russian Media Group. The Monte Carlo station's federal development was also greatly boosted by the approval of the Federal Broadcasting Competition Commission, which supported the Russian Media Group and its partners, including in terms of changing the concept of radio stations operating in the regions. For its part, the Russian Media Group is doing everything possible to successfully create the federal radio network Monte Carlo. A serious market analysis was carried out, and the most loyal conditions for buying a franchise for three years for regional broadcasters were developed ...

Today, New Wave is a successful radio holding that includes eight radio stations. "Russkoe Radio", "Retro FM", "Europe Plus", "Love radio", "ENERGY", "Autoradio", "Radio Dacha", "Radio 7 on seven hills" - these radio stations are known and loved by thousands of listeners. Some of them duplicate their broadcasting in Zheleznogorsk. And it all began in 2000 with Russian Radio. On February 10, the song "Electric Train" performed by Alena Apina sounded on the air. The small studio from where the broadcast was conducted was then located at the Polytechnic University. Music was put on laser mini-disks. The jokes of Nikolai Fomenko, the table of orders, favorite compositions - all this contributed to the fact that the radio quickly gained popularity and bypassed all the existing Kursk radio stations. Some of the most experienced specialists in this field at that time were involved in the work. The staff of the radio station was represented by advertising and news services and DJs. Of course, not everything was smooth. There were technical difficulties. Problems had to be corrected manually. - This is the Moscow station, which we caught and broadcast on Kursk. The signal left, and it had to be adjusted manually. And it happened often. Almost every week, - recalls the events of 20 years ago, the creative director of the radio holding Evgeny Bazarov. Nobody thought that the New Wave would become one of the leaders in the media sphere in the direction of the radio. Everyone was doing what they liked. Three years later, another radio station, Europe Plus, went on the air of Kursk. And then, as they say, off and on. New radio stations opened with enviable regularity. Some, unable to withstand the competition, later closed. The best ones remained on the air, delighted the smokers with their favorite tracks and charged them with mood. Over time, the transmitter became more powerful, the coverage area increased. By the way, some DJs who were at the forefront work in the holding now. Some of them moved to the radio stations of Moscow and St. Petersburg. For the company's team, the anniversary date is not only an occasion to accept congratulations, but also another milestone at which the results are summed up and goals announced. The company plans to continue to give joy and charge the mood of your favorite listeners. kurskcity.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__76471/) * The Ministry of Justice included the Russian legal entity Radio Liberty in the list of foreign media agents. ----------------------------- The Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation has included Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty LLC in the list of media acting as foreign agents.

Director of the Department of Advertising and PR at Kazpost Dilara Zarlykova on her Facebook page said that the postal exchange of auto, air and rail links between China and Kazakhstan on the initiative of the Chinese postal administration has been canceled, writes zakon.kz. Due to the cancellation of the postal exchange, Kazpost suspended the acceptance of all types of postal items to China, as well as countries to which mail arrives in transit through China (Bangladesh, Brunei, Bhutan, Burma, Cambodia, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Laos, North Korea, Thailand , Sri Lanka, Philippines, Taiwan), she wrote. Here, the Kazakhstanis received an answer to the question, but what will happen to those parcels that have already been sent? "Those ordered are on the way. Even if they don't return it, Aliexpress will return the money"?said Dilara Zarlykova. "Everything will reach. Departments work as usual, parcels sent by China earlier via transit countries are now arriving. As soon as China Post works, all the packages will arrive in KAZ. Some of the packages are also located at Khorgos, which is closed to prevent the spread of the virus among the people who work there,"?added Saul Mukasheva, an employee of the advertising and PR department at Kazpost, to complement her response. Recall that the World Health Organization (WHO) said that when receiving parcels and letters from China, it is impossible to become infected with a new coronavirus. According to recent studies, coronaviruses do not live long outside the body, so there is no risk of infection, the organization explained.

This was reported by the Happymag portal. 82-year-old Ian George Trainer (Ian George Trainer) for many years listened to Classic FM radio at full power. The noise bothered his neighbor Thomas Michael Thompson. He complained about Trainer to the police. At the trial, the pensioner explained that because of the cold medicine, he had irritation in his ears when he listened to music on headphones. Then he decided to include classical music through home speakers. "I listen to music at a volume that I like," he emphasized. The judge sentenced Trainer to six months in prison and a fine of 722 pounds (59.6 thousand rubles). He was forbidden to turn on music at volumes above 65 decibels. lenta.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__76477/) 73!
