The right to broadcast on these frequencies belongs to the "Media Partner" of Andrey Grigoriev, to this day the tracks of the "Iskatel" radio were played there. Presumably, "Tartip" received its frequency not in property, but on a lease basis, and a time bomb is hidden here. If the owner of the frequency changes plans, "Tartip" will be silent for the third time. The Tatar-speaking radio "Tartip" received its own frequency - from today it is broadcasting on a frequency of 93.1 FM.

The Taganka Theater opened the season with the performance "White Noise". -------------------------------------------------- ------- After the quarantine, the Taganka Theater opened the season with the performance "White Noise". So far, this is a sketch that was staged on a small stage. The play is shown as part of the "Rehearsals" project. Business FM columnist Alexandra Sidorova attended the performance and spoke about her impressions: Alexandra Sidorova, Business FM columnist: "White Noise" is a performance about the life of a radio station and about the news stream in which its employees live. In principle, the process itself - working in the studio, in the editing room, in the newsroom - was described plausibly. In my opinion, the atmosphere was conveyed. But the tonality and format of this radio, unlike Business FM, are completely different. The focus of the radio station is the city, the radio initially only plays good news and, for example, Billie Eilish. But then it all changes or tries to change. The radio station broadcasts news about the trial of a member of a radical group, and instead of Billie Eilish, DDT hits are already playing. The journalists, and there were many of them in the hall yesterday, said that they saw a lot in common with their reality. In general, it was both very funny and, closer to the end, sad. The intrigue is kept perfectly, you do not understand until the very last how this story will end. The play based on which the performance was staged was written five years ago, but it has been updated. For example, a news release reports that Sobyanin said that there would be no second wave of coronavirus in Moscow, some of the heroes come running to work late, wearing masks and gloves. And the surname of the girl who is being tried will remind you of one of the very topical stories. As the director stated, she tried with her performance, while still sketching, to recreate some kind of screenshot of time. Director Galina Polishchuk directs mainly in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, she worked with Alvis Hermanis. The main thing that surprised me was that the actors rehearsed for only a week. And in a week they got such a well-played, well- coordinated work, which was noticed by very experienced critics, who were repeatedly on sketches within the framework of the "Rehearsals" project at the Taganka Theater. And one more merit of this performance, which is very important at the present time: it lasts only a little over an hour, and this is very comfortable from the point of view of the fact that the audience is forced to sit in masks.

And this is not at all due to censorship or the fear that everyone will rush to listen to the enemy voices. Registration was necessary for subscribers to timely pay a subscription fee for radio listening on the basis of: for each tube receiver of the 1st category - 36 rubles. in year for each tube receiver of the II category - 54 rubles. in year for each tube receiver of the III category - 75 rubles. in year for a detector receiver - 5 rubles. in year The payment for radio receivers and their registration were canceled in 1961, at the same time all household equipment rose in price by 25%, as it was then explained to the organization of television and radio broadcasting. Until then, only registered devices were accepted for warranty service. These rubles, by the way, are pre-reform - these are the usual Soviet 3 rubles 60 kopecks per year.

Am 15. August 2020 wird Radio Liechtenstein 25 Jahre alt. Damit ist Liechtenstein eines der Laender, die erst sehr spaet einen eigenen Rundfunksender bekamen. Dabei reicht die Idee, in dem kleinen Fleckchen Erde zwischen der Schweiz und Oesterreich ein eigenes Programm auf die Beine zu stellen bis in die 1930er Jahre zurueck. Wir haben in den Archiven gegraben und erzaehlen die Geschichte des Rundfunks in Liechtenstein von den ersten Ideen, einer kurzen Sendeperiode 1938/1939 bis hin zu sehr ambitionierten Projekten in den 1970er Jahren, die alle zum Scheitern verurteilt waren, bis das Land 1995 endlich seinen Landessender bekam. Andorra. Vor fast 40 Jahren wurde das legendaere Radio Andorra von den Behoerden geschlossen. Seit 1981 steht das imposante Sendergebaeude in Encamp, etwas ausserhalb der Hauptstadt des Fuerstentums leer. Die Restaurierungs- und Reinigungsarbeiten begannen vor 6 Jahren. Das Nationalarchiv Andorras und Private Firmen haben versucht zu retten, was noch an Substanz da war. Doch dann ein Rueckschlag: Asbest. Wir sprechen unter anderem mit Mireia Garcia von RETOC restauracio, die an den Arbeiten massgeblich beteiligt war ueber den Stand der Arbeiten.

Isnt it in fact the complete program production that hereby resumes today? I understand, but have not looked for a confirmation, that in April 2019, when RFE/RL considerably cut back their use of Viesintos (after they only in 2017 provided the former AFN Weisskirchen transmitter for keeping the Lithuanian mediumwave operation alive), linear radio from their Belarus department ceased altogether, with no terrestrial outlets left. The new move does not include booking more airtime. It are still just the three hours between 1800 and 2100 UT they kept last year, until now used for Russian which is hereby curtailed to 1900-2000 UT. By the way, just on Monday there had been another change: Polskie Radio moved German from a pointless (in the absence of any skywave propagation) noon slot to 1630-1700 UT. It remains to be seen what will happen on Oct 25, when this slot would move to 1730-1800 UT (Polskie Radio keeps its foreign broadcasts always at the same local times) but NHK Russian is already booked at this time...

And in 2005, the radio station will undergo cardinal changes: on May 17, the First Radio will sound from the usual frequencies of Mayak Kuban. The next changes in the concept of the radio station will take place on February 1, 2014, when the First Radio will update the format and sound under the slogan "Radio of urban romantics".

Radio 1 is creating a large-scale FM network in the Moscow region in order to provide the maximum number of residents of the Moscow region with high-quality information content. The radio station can be heard in the FM range of more than 30 cities in the region. RTV Podmoskovye, and now Radio 1, was founded on August 14, 1932 by order of the Executive Committee of the Soviet of Workers ', Peasants' and Red Army Deputies on the creation of a Radio Broadcasting Committee in the Moscow Region. During the war years, the radio station did not stop broadcasting - residents of the Moscow region were waiting with special trepidation at the loudspeakers for operational data from the front, information on air raids, schedules for water supply and distribution of bread by cards. Radio Podmoskovya was the only and most important source of operational news in the Moscow region. Over its 88-year history, the radio station has been transformed several times and changed its name: Since 1946 - the main edition of radio broadcasts for the Moscow region as part of the USSR State Committee on Television and Radio Broadcasting, Since 1993 - State Broadcasting Company "Radio Podmoskovya". Since 2002 - State TV and Radio Broadcasting Company "RTV-Podmoskovye". Since 2014 - "Our Moscow Region". In 2016, a new stage in the development of the radio station began. The RTV Podmoskovye State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (RTV Podmoskovye) has re-branded and changed its name to Radio 1.

It is dedicated to the band's drummer Neil Pirt, who died in January. The track itself is imbued with the spirit of FM radio and talks about a particular radio station CFNY-FM broadcasting in Toronto. It was recorded for the album "Permanent Waves" 40 years ago. The re-launch of the track was timed to coincide with the anniversary of the album. Rush is a Canadian progressive rock band that emerged in 1968. It consisted of three members: drummer Neil Peart, guitarist Alex Lifeson and vocalist Geddy Lee. Rush is called the harbingers of progressive metal, and their music has inspired the group Metallica. From 1974 to 2012, the musicians released 19 albums. In 2013, Rush was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Neil Peart joined Rush 45 years ago, in 1974, after the band's first album (it was called "Rush") was released. Since then, the band's records have become one of the best-selling in the history of music - the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) puts it on a par with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. In the US alone, Rush has sold over 25 million records. Source: http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__77660/ (Dmitry Elagin, Saratov, Russia / "rusdxplus") 73!
