State TV and Radio Company "Southern Ural". WEB: https://www.cheltv.ru/ WEB: https://chelyabinsk.rtrs.ru/ Broadcasting Network: https://chelyabinsk.rtrs.ru/tv/analog/ Mailing address: 454000, Chelyabinsk, st. Ordzhonikidze, 54 B. South Ural State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company is the largest media corporation in the Chelyabinsk Region. It consists of eight media: two television channels, four radio stations, one print publication, and an Internet site. In 2005, the Chelyabinsk State Broadcasting Company went through a difficult transformation process. GTRK "Southern Ural" appeared. The new structure also included the Magnitogorsk TV and Radio Company. The South Ural brand is the official status of the company. The Chelyabinsk television studio was the first to go on television and began broadcasting on July 17, 1958. Radio appeared even earlier - November 7, 1929. Today, the Southern Ural State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company is a team of like-minded people that provides the entire Chelyabinsk region with a top-quality information product. State TV and Radio Company "Southern Ural" today: TV channel "Russia 1 - South Ural" TV channel "Russia 24 - South Ural" Radio "Russia - South Ural" Radio "Vesti FM" radio "Mayak" radio "Iskatel" newspaper "Television and Radio Program" website cheltv.ru * In Elektrostal (Moskovskaya oblast) destroyed a radio tower -------------------------------------------------- ----- On April 9, masts of RC No. 9 were demolished in Elektrostal, from where they previously broadcast 549 Lighthouse 846 Radio Moscow Region 873 Radio of Russia a lot of photos and videos https://vk.com/vishka215 video https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query= demolition+Electrostal&sp=CAI%3D (https://vk.com/vcfm2014) * In Russia, due to the coronavirus (epidemic Covid-19), many local FM stations were turned off or reduced broadcast time and power. ---------------------- A wave of forced outages of the media or their work restrictions due to the coronavirus COVID-19 went. The main reason for this is financial difficulties, as advertising for concerts, products and industrial goods has sharply decreased due to the crisis in the economy. (The Internet) * TV channels and radio stations are losing advertising budgets and are afraid of not pulling on the costs of signal distribution. -------------------------------------------- Following the advertising and communications industries, I asked for the media market for state support. A joint appeal to the government was sent by the Union of Journalists and the National Association of Broadcasters. The Russian Academy of Radio appealed to the Ministry of Communications, reports the NSN. To save the broadcasters, it is proposed to take 15 priority measures: to cancel field and counter tax audits before the end of the year, introduce tax holidays on insurance premiums, income taxes and VAT, property taxes, defer payments until the end of the year, and change the procedure for calculating income taxes. In addition, RAP proposes to oblige state-owned companies to purchase advertising directly from the media, excluding intermediaries represented by agencies. RAR Vice-Presidents Yulia Golubeva, Yuri Kostin and Alexander Polesitsky remind that broadcasters are engaged in strategically important activities - they inform the population around the clock. In addition, the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network (RTRS) business asked for a 50 percent discount on the provision of signal distribution services for all FM radio stations in Russia for a period of six months. Now this is the second largest expense item for broadcasters. The authors of the appeal warn that under a pessimistic scenario, most radio stations will not be able to fulfill their obligations, which will lead to a reduction in the broadcasting area of national stations, suspension and massive termination of broadcasting of local stations. The Union of Journalists and NAT also listed a number of measures that would facilitate the work of broadcasters and print media. Among them, the introduction of a moratorium on checks on the fulfillment of licensing conditions and the abolition of the "irrational norm", which requires broadcasters to send materials to the State Radio and Television Fund. Top managers of radio holdings surveyed by NSNs paint a disappointing picture: counterparties stop paying, and entire categories of advertisers - tour operators, airlines, the entertainment industry, catering - take down budgets. The facts of "isolated cases of removal of advertising campaigns" were confirmed by the general director of "GPM Radio" Yuri Kostin. According to him, the situation is so uncertain that it is impossible to predict further developments. "And without that small piece of the advertising pie that was distributed in favor of the radio, in the first quarter of this year it did not just collapse - it feels like it has dissolved," says Julia Golubeva, head of the Krutoy Media holding. EMG First Deputy CEO Alexander Polesitsky considers optimistic the assumption that the radio advertising market will fall by 15%, but does not exclude a 50% reduction.

The purpose of the document is to provide market players with information necessary for the purchase and placement of radio ads on existing Moscow stations. The card contains information about the owners of radio stations, sales houses selling ads, which will help customers save time on searching for a counterparty. In addition, experts from the AKAR Radio Committee conducted extensive work on the analysis and systematization of radio stations. Depending on the type of broadcast content, the stations are divided into information, entertainment, music, as well as mixed types. The document also includes Radio Index data from Mediascope on the age and sex composition of the audience of all Moscow radio stations. The information will allow customers to pre-evaluate the range of stations relevant for the advertising campaign and select counterparties for further work. Julia Andryushova, expert of the sales house of Gazprom Media, director of the business communications and analytics department of GPM Radio: "The map will allow you to quickly receive information about all the participants of the radio market represented in Moscow. We are confident that this tool will help advertisers quickly navigate the specifics of the radio thanks to information on the socio-demographic portrait of the stations, formats, and broadcast geography. I would also like to express my gratitude to all market participants who took part in its creation. The industry has taken the first step in creating this kind of documents. As the next steps, steps have been outlined to create such maps in cities with a population of over one million, which will make the radio market more transparent for advertisers. " Alexei Zyatitsky, Sales Director, GPM Radio LLC: "This map is the beginning of the work of the AKAR Radio Committee on the visualization of the market ecosystem. In the future, it is planned to expand it to the federal level to ensure the visibility of the structure of network formats and add the ability to localize markets, taking into account the specifics of functioning in individual cities.

The Government of the Russian Federation published Decree No. 440 ("On the extension of permits and other features in relation to licensing activities in 2020"), which extends the validity of licenses and other permits by 12 months, which expire between March 15 and December 31 2020 year. You can familiarize yourself with the document on the website of the Government of the Russian Federation: government.ru/docs/39401/ radioacademy.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__77113/) * On the RTRS TV towers there is a reminder "Ostavaytes doma" ("Stay at home"). So the company supports the inhabitants of the country during the coronavirus pandemic. ----------------------------------------------------- After the universal self-isolation regime was announced in the country, the words "Stay at home" appeared on the television towers of Moscow, Voronezh, Tula, Veliky Novgorod, Samara, Rostov-on-Don. The LED inscription "Take care of yourself and loved ones" is shown on the Kazan TV tower. The coronavirus hotline telephone number is projected onto the tower in Nizhnekamsk. On the tower in Tula, the call "Be at home" is displayed. In the Nizhny Novgorod region, the illumination of the television tower has become a symbol of the action "Heart Light". A pulsating heart is displayed on the main tower of the area in support of medical workers. RTRS and GTRK Nizhny Novgorod invite Nizhny Novgorod residents to express gratitude to the doctors, for this it is enough to light a candle, lanterns or a table lamp on the window in the evening. In the near future, a request to stay at home will appear on TV towers in Yakutsk, Kaliningrad and in another dozen cities where the TV towers are equipped with dynamic architectural and artistic lighting. RTRS illuminations consist of thousands of LEDs and dozens of floodlights, which are controlled by computer programs. High-tech equipment allows you to highlight towers with various combinations of colors, project images of flags, emblems and inscriptions onto them, create light-dynamic effects. Bright lights decorate the city in the evening, turn television towers into art objects.

In Russian. ------------------------------- The main roles are performed by the artists of the Quartet I and the musical group Accident.

One evening in the life of the mythical radio station "Like Radio", which broadcasts a live marathon in defense of rare animals. A topic is born spontaneously: 10 minutes before the start of the program, it turns out that an already prepared marathon about Russian tourists who are stuck in the Congo cannot be broadcast: a marathon on the same topic has already started on the wave of competitors. Having drawn the news agency tapes, the employees of the radio station do not find a solution better than to inflate an insignificant event (an accident on a small ship with a floating circus) to the scale of an international catastrophe (a ship wreck with a huge zoo consisting of rare and endangered animals). The marathon begins with this sucked out topic with the participation of musical groups of all directions - from hard rock to thieves romance. The radio station "Like Radio" in the play has much in common with the real Moscow radio station "Our Radio". The role of the director of "Like Radio" is played by the founder of Our Radio, Mikhail Kozyrev. On the air of both radio stations only music of performers from Russia and the countries of the former USSR sounds. The DVD version uses screensavers and musical jingles "Like a radio", similar to the logo and jingles of "Our radio". Video: Youtube / Star Media / Day Radio.

If you go from Nizhny Novgorod along the Arzamas highway, then near the village of Druzhny, Kstovsky district, you can see two dozen very high openwork masts, between which wires are stretched. From afar, you may get the impression that this is some kind of electric power industry object or even a military structure. The latest version is true - this is military unit No. 36026, which is much better known under its German name - the super-long-wave radio station "Goliath". Its history began 75 years ago, and then the Goliath served the Kriegsmarine submariners ... Text and photo ...

Russia has resumed Digital Radio Mondiale broadcasts on shortwave. The country originally aired the Voice of Russia via DRM a few years ago. The new service is tentatively called Radio Purga ("Radio Blizzard"). The target area is the Chukotka region of the Russian Far East. Analog shortwave transmissions once served the area, but those ended in the early 2000s when the broadcaster left analog shortwave. Chukotka is vast and the target audience only numbers a few thousand. Thus, shortwave is the only practical way to reach the population. The transmitter site, Komsomolsk Amur, used to broadcast Voice of Russia's analog programming and is now being used for the DRM program. The new service is a joint project between the government in Chukotka and the Far Eastern regional center of the Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network. Using DRM for Radio Purga has several advantages over analog shortwave. Radio Purga over DRM, for example, offers a static-free and higher fidelity signal. Studies have shown that DRM is just as reliable as analog shortwave over this distance via single-hop transmission. The broadcaster is considering transmitting two audio programs from a single DRM transmitter. This is something analog shortwave can't do. It's also planning on using DRM's ability to transmit short text message or a type of RSS feed (Journaline). DRM transmissions also use only a quarter of the power that analog transmissions do. "We have in these remote places 2,000 residents who need to be provided with communications services ... the Northern Sea Route also requires attention," said Roman Kopin, the governor of Chukotka, last spring when the project was initiated, according to a Russian press report. In addition to mariners on the Northern Sea Route, the audience includes geologists, miners, reindeer herders and hunters. Test transmissions started in August via different DRM modes and bandwidths to trial "hardware setup and determine signal acceptability," with the goal of covering over 95% of the area. Programming consists of a music loop and has been heard as far away as the United States. As of press time the broadcaster was still carrying out transmission tests but regular programing is expected to begin sometime in the next few months. One of shortwave's greatest strengths has always been its ability to communicate to hard-to-reach locations. Radio Purga's audience is spread over an immense, remote region. The resumption of shortwave via DRM will provide the population with a communications lifeline in both audio and text.

Hi - recently, I transferred all HF Broadcaster's location from ILGRadio list to an interactive map on free Tableau Public software, see: This map is interactive in some ways: * a mouse-over reveals the broadcaster's name, location, coordinates and the power of the transmitter (or that of one of the transmitters at a center) * zooming-in presents you with an aerial view of the aerials ... where the resolution of the underlying satellite maps permits As HFCC/ITU and WRTH data isn't sufficient in many aspects to do this task I decided to use Bernd's decades-long and somewhat detective work to visualize these data. Why Tableau? Well, Google Map oder Google Earth etc. might deliver a better resolution, but only Tableau allows for presenting also some statistic data, like number of transmitters per site or weekly wirtime, or power, mulitplied by airtime etc. Hopefully, ther will be some future to add this also. 73 Nils, DK8OK via wwdxc BC-DX Topnews April 13) SWLDXBulgaria News April 13-14 Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria

He was 83 years old. Ernest Eugene Pell was born in 1937 in Kentucky in the family of a radio and television engineer, one of the organizers of television broadcasting in Vietnam. Speaking at the microphone, Pell began as a hobby in high school, then continued his hobby in a radio room on the Harvard University campus, which he graduated with a diploma in English literature. He served in the Navy, heading the program department of the Armed Forces Radio, then received a master's degree in journalism from Boston University, worked as a television reporter, and later as a leading and head of the news department at stations in Boston, Washington and London. From 1978 to 1980, he worked as an NBC correspondent in Moscow, and later on Voice of America. In the fall of 1985, he was appointed President of Radio Liberty / Radio Free Europe. During the leadership period of Gene Pell, there were years of perestroika, reflected in the structural and personnel changes of the radio station. Gene Pell repeatedly spoke at the microphone, addressing an audience in Russian, who knew well from his work in Moscow. After resigning as president (in 1993), he continued to speak on American radio and launched a competition for young speakers with the aim of raising a new shift for journalists.
