For listeners, at the familiar frequency of 100.8 FM, they hear not only their favorite music, shows, programs and relevant information, but also local news. "Our listeners in Brest already hear" personal "hour beats and weather forecasts. Also, at 13:30 and 18:30 on weekdays and at 16:30 on weekends, regional news releases are released, "commented Irina Petrovich, head of the broadcasting department of Alfa Radio," We keep listeners up to date on events and important news Belarus, but local content is no less important, people are interested to know what is happening in their native city, region. " In the future, Alfa Radio plans to create local content together with Brest residents and residents of the region - special projects will be released for the region's listeners, and the program of greetings and congratulations will receive regional design. Regional broadcasting provides new opportunities for local business - companies that work in a particular region. For example, a cafe or a beauty salon from Brest does not make sense to advertise yourself to the whole country when there are "insets" with advertisements that sound in a particular region. "Now we can technically place blocks of local advertising," Irina Petrovich adds, "Moreover, the opportunities for advertisers are not limited only to advertising blocks - local advertising can sound in the categories of linear broadcast and morning show, elements of the broadcast and in front of musical compositions."

(Anatoly Klepov-RUS, RUSdx #1088 via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews July 5) LATVIA Exactly 60 years ago, the famous Speedola was released. 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 ... More details - Retro technique. The Selga family of radios (Selga - in Latvian - open sea) manufactured at the Riga A. Popov Radio Plant and the Kandava Radio Plant from 1963 until the mid-1980s. All models under the Selga brand are battery powered superheterodynes for receiving transmissions with amplitude modulation in the long and medium wave ranges, with an internal magnetic antenna on a ferrite rod, with a standard intermediate frequency (IF) - 465 kHz. "Selga-402" (1970) - the first Soviet silicon transistor household receiver. More details: (via Anatoly Klepov-RUS, RUSdx #1088 via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews July 5) RUSSIA R.

Well, it is time for a QSL update! I have sent out approximately half of the QSL cards to those of you who wanted one, and later advised me that you had still not received one. The other stack (which should catch me up) will go out Monday night or Tuesday morning. I appreciate those of you who have helped me get my list of listeners organized. At this point, it is simply a matter of stocking up on International Stamps and getting the cards written!! BROADCAST TIMES! Just as a reminder, the Alt Universe Top 40 radio show is simulcast by Channel 292 every Saturday at 11:00 UTC on 7440 kHz and 6070 kHz to Europe, and broadcast by WRMI (Radio Miami International) to North America on 9455 kHz every Saturday at 10:00 p.m. Eastern. WRMI airs a repeat of hte show on Sunday at 9:00 p.m. Eastern on 9395 kHz, and Channel 292 airs a repeat of the show on Thursdays at 10:00 UTC. We are going to spin some guilty pleasures this weekend...in the form of POWER BALLADS! That's right! We hearken back to the days of slow-motion videos on MTV, and lighters being waved back and forth at concerts. We examine some famous and some not-so-famous POWER BALLADS, and tell several stories along the way! You will hear about a record exec who took a song that was turned down by a British vocalist and "hand- delivered" a #1 hit to a four-man rock act. You will also hear a VERY early power ballad, a song from the '50's that qualifies based upon its tempo, chord structure, and the emotional delivery of the vocalists. In the meantime, keep on making those good-hearted adjustments that time and taste demand, and KEEP ON SMILING THROUGH THE STATIC!!! Cheers, John T. McMullan www.altuniversetop40.com (Konstantin Barsenkov, St. Petersburg, Russia / "deneb-radio-dx") * David Hamilton Presented The Charm of Commercial Radio -------------------------------------------------- -------------- British television and radio journalist David Hamilton has published a second book on the radio industry. The book came out under the title Commercial Radio Daze (The Charm of Commercial Radio), Radio Today reports. In his book, David tells the fascinating story of the development of the broadcasting industry in the UK over the past 30 years, filled with the birth of new stations and their closures, mergers and acquisitions. David's story is illustrated by photographs of stars of the music scene and DJs with whom he had to work. Diddy (also known as David Hamilton) previously published a book on the golden days of the history of Radio One - Golden Days of Radio One. Media expert David Lloyd, who specializes in radio history, writes: "I think the book will get a good response from a readership interested in developing the industry. Many will be interested to learn about the contribution David made to the development of the success of the radio stations with which he was fortunate to collaborate. " Chris Vezi, founder of VIP Broadcasting, said: "David's knowledge and many years of experience in business make his opinion worthy of attention." And Stuart Francis, former chairman of the board of Independent Radio Companies, adds: "This book needs to be read by anyone who has listened to or worked for ILR at the height of its success." The Commercial Radio Daze book can be ordered through Amazon. Boris Skuratovsky, mediasat.info (http://mediasat.info/2020/07/09/predstavil-knigu/) * CHINA. ------------ 9630, CNR17, on July 11 (Saturday), from 1235 to 1305 UTC. The weekend language lesson scheduled for approximately 1230-1300; in English and with Kazakh(?) language; multi-language intro ("Hi, Hello, Nǐ hǎo [Chinese for "Hello"], How are you?," etc.); into phrases in English ("I have a pen. She has a pen. I had a pen. She had a pen. I will have a pen. She will have a pen. Do you have a pen?, My mother has a book. My father has a car. Does he have a car?," etc.); with a terrible format for a language lesson, as there is a very prominent, non-stop, self-QRMing whistling and humming throughout the entire program; it's not really in the background, but is too strong. During weekdays perhaps the lessons are at a much later time (1500+?). My local sunrise was at 1258 UTC. My audio http://bit.ly/2OiTwfm .
