Andrei Romanchenko, President of the Russian Academy of Radio (RAR), General Director of the Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network, announced this today in Sochi at the conference "Local Radio: Innovations and Prospects". - A direct competitor to radio has become a TV, which people, being at home during a pandemic, began to turn on as a background, - said Romanchenko. - Thus, the number of TV views, mainly news, has increased three to four times. According to him, some of the people's attention has been redistributed in favor of the Internet. "The sites of the leading media increased their audience to 100 million hits. Television and online film services increased their audience by 53 percent during the quarantine. In conditions of self-isolation, people turned on the TV almost all day as a background, and television became a direct competitor to radio," - noted the general director of PAP. Moreover, according to a poll, for example, 80 percent of Muscovites replied that they began to listen to the radio in the same way as before, or even more. According to official information, the volume of radio audiences in the capital has decreased by nine percent. As Vice-President of the RAR Alexander Polesitsky noted in a conversation with the RG correspondent, during the pandemic, people began to listen to information radio stations more, and less to music. - Musical preferences of radio listeners during the pandemic have not changed, - explained the source. - Most likely, they depend on the time of day and on the season, as well as on the weather and mood. Experts also note a drop in sales of radio advertising during the coronavirus pandemic compared to last year - they decreased by half, and in some regions of the country, sales stopped completely. In Sochi, the annual conference brought together about 150 participants - leading experts in the radio industry, representatives of the largest Russian radio holdings and RAR academicians, representatives of Roskomnadzor. Moreover, this number includes those who are online at the event. They discuss the consequences of the pandemic and its impact on the radio industry in Russia, the management of radio stations in a changed economic environment and the new possibilities of the FM band in the regions of the country. By the way As it was announced at the conference, today there are three thousand radio stations in the country, of which 400 are of their own programming. For example, in Sochi there are 18 radio stations, of which one is of its own programming.

On October 1, Russian Radio resumes broadcasting in the Republic of Northern Cyprus. The radio station will sound in the largest cities of the country: Nicosia (103.2 FM), Limassol (105.7 FM), Paphos (90.5 FM) and Larnaca (93.3 FM). Thus, the signal of "Russian Radio" will cover the entire territory of Northern Cyprus. With the start of broadcasting of "Russian Radio" in Cyprus, over 600 thousand local radio listeners will join the audience of the radio station. "Broadcasting in the Republic of Northern Cyprus is strategically important for Russian Radio," says Vladislav Kostyuk, Director of the Regional Development Department of Russian Media Group CJSC. - A huge number of Russians and Russian-speaking people spend their holidays and permanently reside in this country. Therefore, the opportunity to give them access to their native cultural and linguistic environment, to their favorite music is very important for us. " On October 1 - in honor of the start of broadcasting in the Republic of Cyprus - for the first time in the history of the radio station, a radio bridge was held between Moscow and Cyprus. The hosts of the morning show "Russian Peppers" greeted their Cypriot colleagues. "There are no boundaries for us, despite the pause in travel! Now we are part of the large family of Russian Radio, which has become not just a new radio station, but a musical and information center for the Russian-speaking community of the entire island, "the Cyprus radio hosts noted. "Even symbolically, the broadcasting frequencies of Russkoye Radio in Moscow and here in Limassol coincided - 105.7 FM. This is a sign - everything will be fine! " - says co-owner of the Russian Wave Group media group Stanislav Andonov. Russian Radio broadcasted in the Republic of Northern Cyprus for a long time, however, in December 2019 the broadcast was suspended due to the difficulties of the former local partner of Russian Radio in Cyprus. Thanks to the efforts of the radio station and its Cypriot partners, the Russian-speaking inhabitants of the island did not remain without their favorite music for long: on October 1, Russian Radio will sound again in Cyprus. The new partner of Russian Radio is the largest local media corporation Russianwave.
