According to the results of the first half of 2020, twelve settlements with a total population of more than 2.3 million potential listeners joined the network of holding radio stations. Branches of Radio Dacha opened in Nizhnevartovsk, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Ugra and Cherepovets in the Vologda Oblast. Irbit of the Sverdlovsk region, Nelidovo, Tver region, Sorochinsk and Novosergievka of the Orenburg region also joined the broadcasting network of the radio station.

The CEO of Krutoy Media is Evgeny Marchenko. (http://www.krutoymedia.ru/news/7500.htm) The regional network of GUI Radio continued to grow during the period of self-isolation. -------------------------------------------------- ------ From March to the present, eleven new cities and towns of Russia have joined the regional network of GPM Radio. Only ENERGY Radio sounded in five of them, including a number of the largest administrative centers, and the Avtoradio radio network, covering more than 90% of large Russian cities, was replenished with several more. The regime of forced self-isolation made adjustments to the development of business in all segments, and became a kind of test for the strength and maturity of companies. The largest Russian radio holding company GPM Radio came up well prepared for a difficult period, where they developed an effective concept for supporting network radio stations. As noted in the Department of Regional Development of GPM Radio, in difficult times this allowed not only to provide serious assistance to existing partners in the regions, but also to significantly expand the geography of broadcasting radio stations of the holding. As a result, the regional GPM Radio network from March to June 2020 showed a noticeable increase. Radio ENERGY came to the capital of the Chuvash Republic - Cheboksary, where today more than 497 thousand people live, as well as to the large cultural, industrial and scientific center of the Urals - Kirov (population for 2020 is 518 thousand people). Fashionable music and the most relevant tracks from the best DJs on the planet, "The Black Pepper Show" and the NRJ HOT 30 hit parade sounded here on 89.6 FM and 96.9 FM, respectively. It mastered Radio ENERGY and other regions of Russia: at a frequency of 97.8 FM, broadcasting began in Kolomna (Moscow Region), at 100.4 FM a progressive radio station became available to residents of the large village of Perm Territory - Barda, and appeared at 105.7 FM in the northernmost city of the country - Norilsk (Krasnoyarsk Territory). Movement only forward is not only a slogan, but also the principle of operation of Autoradio, the flagship of GPM Radio. An extensive network of radio stations was added to: Budennovsk, Stavropol Territory (frequency 106.0 FM), Kineshma, Ivanovo Region (105.6 FM) and Avsyunino, Moscow Region (99.9 FM). Tyumen tuned in to a calm wave. At 92.0 FM, a premium class radio station with a unique format for the Russian radio industry - Relax FM - appeared here. In the city where today 807.4 thousand people live (2020), belt broadcasting has been implemented, all rubrics and a play list are published taking into account local time. The best cure for spleen and depression is humor. In the days of the pandemic, entertaining and humorous formats became especially relevant. In Kungur, Perm Territory, the "Humor FM" radio station sounded at 92.0 FM, and Comedy Radio began broadcasting in Nizhny Tagil (Sverdlovsk Region). In a large industrial center of the Urals, whose population is close to 350 thousand people, the radio station can be heard on 105.5 FM. GPM Radio is one of the leading Russian radio holdings. It combines nine radio brands, Online Radio 101.ru and a network of its own branches, which successfully operate in St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Rostov-on- Don, Krasnoyarsk, Kazan, Perm, Samara.

Anniversary, however. ----------------------------------------- Two Latvian engineers at the WEF factory, Uldis Briedis and Janis Zerps, were developing a portable transistor receiver in their spare time. After some time, the prototype "Speedo" in the housing from the tube "Tourist" was ready. He worked in the ranges of long, medium and short waves. This development successfully coincided with the overstocking of the VEF warehouse with lamp equipment. The era of transistors has come and the population desired the receivers of the new formation. The plant management was able to evaluate the new development and in 1960 the first test batch of radio receivers was released. The name was invented by J. Cerps. "Speedola" in Latvian means "shining", and turned out to be a very promising and popular model, which launched the whole line of radios ....

Due to the coronavirus epidemic, radio stations are losing revenue faster than any other media company in Russia. And most affected radio stations in the regions.

Author: I. N. Artemiev. The Great Patriotic War was a difficult test for the Soviet people. The treacherous attack on the USSR by the armed forces of fascist Germany, relying on the industry of almost all of Western Europe and already having experience in modern warfare, allowed them to temporarily advance deep into our country a considerable distance. During heavy defensive battles, the Soviet Armed Forces inflicted great damage to the Nazi troops and thwarted their plan for a lightning war ...

Our troops were armed with MSU-39 broadcasting stations (a powerful loud-speaking installation). They were used to conduct propaganda among enemy soldiers. Schematically, it looked like this: we were looking for a place in front of battle formations, closer to enemy positions. At night, it somehow settled down: they pulled out a comfrey, masked it, if conditions allowed, covered it with a boulder. The station was serviced by several people: chief, operator, assistant operator. The main character was, of course, the announcer, but the entire installation crew was one team, and everyone risked the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPNQgskCt8U&feature=youtu.be (Ruslan Slavutsky, Moskovskaya oblast, Russia) (RUS-DX # 1086) How many times the Sovinformburo broadcasted. 79 years ago, on June 24, 1941, on the third day after the outbreak of World War II, the Soviet Information Bureau was formed - the first organ of foreign policy propaganda in the history of the state. The purpose of the Sovinformburo was to cover in the press and on radio international events, military operations on the fronts and the life of the country. Announcer Yuri Levitan became his voice and one of the symbols of the era. At his words, "From the Soviet Information Bureau ..." every day, millions of people across the country died away from radios. From the first days of the war, the Sovinformburo transmitted official information about the state of affairs on the fronts, in the rear and in the occupied territories, about the partisan movement, supervised the coverage of events on the fronts by radio, in newspapers and magazines that were distributed around the world. Over the years of the Great Patriotic War, more than 2,000 front-line reports were sounded from the Soviet Information Bureau and about 135 thousand articles were sent to the bulletins of Soviet embassies and missions, as well as to foreign newspapers, magazines and radio stations. On May 15, 1945, the editorial's latest operational report came out when Yuri Levitan announced: "The reception of captured German soldiers on all fronts is over." In the post-war period, the Sovinformburo was transferred to the Council of Ministers of the USSR, its staff was increased, and the main attention was focused on covering the internal and foreign policies of the USSR abroad and events in the countries of people's democracy. By a resolution of the Central Committee of the CPSU of January 5, 1961, the Sovinformburo was abolished, and the News Agency was created on its basis. photo: Sergey Loskutov / TASS newsreel | text: Maria Bagrintseva, pnp.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__77743/) (RUS-DX # 1087) WRTHmonitor June 2020 updates 18 June 2020 --------------------- RUSSIA: R.

Coming soon is 927 kHz. And Radio208 has been broadcasting since December 2019 on 1440 kHz and since May 2020 also on shortwave 5805 kHz. It has cost a lot of time, energy and money - but it has been and still is great fun - keeping shortwave and mediumwave alive. The cost of the transmitters (some 15000 euro), aerials and transmitter sites is one thing. Another thing is the running cost. The two big expenses are: Music royalties: 450 euro each month Power costs: 1300 euro each month (when all transmitters are on full power) If you could help keeping WMR and Radio208 on the air, your support would be highly appreciated.

Previously, they often transmitted pictures simultaneously with sound. And now, where Dream software is installed, a folder is created with the name MOT, and in it are HTML files and image files. When you click a button in the MOT window, the browser opens the index.html file with links to other HTML files in this folder and with links to TWR sites. See screenshots of Chinese language transmission reception here. June 27 at 1100 UTC and the accepted web page. The next day in DRM programs in English. and yap. languages, HTML files were transferred in those languages. In addition to religious information, they contain information about the KTWR transmitting center on Guam Island and the schedule of broadcasts of this station in the A20 season.
