The radio station will become available to a thousand residents of the village of Apache and its environs. Transmitter power - 0.1 kW, transmitting antenna suspension height - 60 meters. The launch of the Rossiya radio station in the village of Apacha is part of a joint large-scale program of VGTRK and RTRS to expand the broadcasting network. The program provides for the creation of a new broadcasting network of radio stations "Radio Russii", "Mayak" and "Vesti FM". VHF transmitters, for which receivers are practically not used by radio listeners, will be replaced by modern FM transmitters. The project will make terrestrial FM radio available to the majority of the country's residents. This will increase the coverage of VGTRK radio stations and the number of their listeners. Earlier, in the course of the federal target program "Development of television and radio broadcasting in the Russian Federation for 2009-2018," radio stations "Radio Russii", "Mayak" and "Vesti FM" were included in the first multiplex along with 10 TV channels. To broadcast them in the Kamchatka Territory, the RTRS branch created a network of 33 transmitting stations. First of all, they were equipped with television broadcasting equipment.

In the Ural capital, world-class music can be heard at 106.2 FM Radio Monte Carlo is one of the leaders in the format of contemporary music for premium audiences with excellent taste, whose life orientations intersect with the principles of the radio station - the best is enough for us. The broadcast presents world-class music: classic jazz, pop and rock music, instrumental and classical compositions, as well as proven hits from different times and the best novelties. The musical component is organically complemented by educational programs dedicated to famous figures of science and art, travel and cultural events of the city and country. For the capital of the Urals, this is a new format that unites listeners with high ideals in life and delicate taste. In his commentary on the start of broadcasting, Vadim Tereshchuk, General Director of the Choose Radio group of companies, said: "The radio market in Yekaterinburg is one of the most competitive in Russia. Now there are 34 radio stations broadcasting in the city, many of which are very similar in musical content. It is all the more surprising that there was no such radio station as unique in format as Monte Carlo in the city. We have a successful experience of working with this format in Rostov-on-Don and Nizhny Novgorod, so we decided to launch it in Yekaterinburg. We decided to focus our efforts to develop our own format "Radiola 106.2 FM" on broadcasting in Samara, Saratov and Nizhny Novgorod. All fans of "Radiola" from Yekaterinburg and not only can still listen to the station on the Internet at the site ekaterinburg.gkvr.ru ". The appearance of the radio station "Monte Carlo" in the portfolio of the "Choose Radio" Group of Companies in Yekaterinburg expands the boundaries and opportunities both for the branch and for partners and clients. - Branch "Choose Radio" in Yekaterinburg Radio stations of the branch: "Europe Plus", "Retro FM", "Russkoe Radio", "Radio Dacha", "HIT FM", "Radio Chanson", "Radio Record", Business FM , "Monte Carlo".

Showcase 292 will air with time donated by the station on Radio Channel 292 from Rohrbach, Germany on September 7 from 2100 to 2200 UTC on 3955, 6070 and 9670 kHz. This is Channel 292's first collaborative simulcast featuring five music and variety programs that appear on its weekly schedule - Alt Universe Top 40 (rock), Encore (classical music), From the Isle of Music (Cuban music), Uncle Bill's Melting Pot (world and novelty music) and the Voice of the Report of the Week (listener request music plus commentary). 3955 and 9670 are both new frequencies, and listeners are encouraged to try them as a DX catch in Eastern Canada, although it is uncertain whether they will be received there. A special eQSL will be available from the producer (details wil be given during the broadcast). 6070 kHz will of course not be receivable in Canada due to CFRX on the same frequency. II. WBCQ The Planet from Monticello, Maine, USA continues its popular simulcast series with time donated by Allan and Angela Weiner with WBCQ Works! on September 7 from 10pm to 11pm EDT (0200-0300 UTC September 8) on 5130, 6160 and 7490 kHz with five of its popular regular music offerings - Area 51, beHAVior night, the Lost Discs Radio Show, Marion's Attic and Uncle Bill's Melting Pot. In another recent broadcast, 6160 was heard as far as Western Russia and may be listenable throughout most of Canada away from the NE. 5130 may be better for NE Canada, and 7490 may be better out west. This, too, will have a special eQSL from the producer, details will be given during the broadcast. Since it will be Labor Day in the US, many of the songs will be related to work or the lack of it.

That means an evening full of great music but above all interesting info blocks related to our 40 year history. 40 years? Yes, one day later, Monday August 31st 2020 FRS-Holland becomes 40 years. We have decided to split the festivities: on Sunday our 200th broadcast and late October/ early November the celebration of our 40th Anniversary. Of course we will inform you prior to that broadcast. But for now we concentrate on our 200th....look at for full details: http://www.frsholland.nl/20-latest-news/144-frs-holland-s-200th-broadcast.html See you next Sunday!! 73s , the FRS-Holland team Ps All mail from July/August will be answered shortly after the upcoming Newsletter.
