The creators of the video decided to abandon computer graphics and 3D modeling, which is now in demand when creating advertisements for radio stations, and shot a full-fledged mini-film about one day in the life of the main character, who arrived at work early in the morning, but cannot tear herself away from the air of her favorite radio station - " Russian Radio "- sounding in her car. In the video, around which the entire advertising campaign of the radio station is built, the favorite super-hits of the stars of "Russkoe Radio" sound: Polina Gagarina, Valery Meladze, Artur Pirozhkov. The face of the new advertising campaign is actress Victoria Gerasimova. The shooting took place on the territory of the Luzhniki Olympic Sports Complex, several dozen cars were involved in it. "The idea of the video was born out of life itself," says Snezhina Kulova, creative producer of the Russian Media Group. - This is the morning of one of the listeners, who starts the day together with Russian Radio and listens to her favorite music on the air. The songs that sound in the commercial are a kind of tuning fork, an example of open emotions, optimism and belief that "Everything will be fine!" Today "Russkoe Radio" is one of the largest radio networks in the world, numbering more than 3150 broadcasting cities in Russia alone.

September 27, 1988 - The first electronic Russian-language edition dedicated to long-range radio reception - the Moscow DX Information Bulletin - was published. The 78th issue of the bulletin was the first electronic issue. Newsletter archive - https://subscribe.ru/catalog/radio.midxb (https://vk.com/public158109176) (RUS-DX # 1101) In Russia, there has been a sharp decline in the number of radio listeners. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, a particularly strong drop in the number of car radio listeners was recorded, and the increase in home listeners could not compensate for it. 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 lea- ding 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 back- ground, 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, repre- sentatives 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.

In Udomla, Tver region, Popov's radio appeared on the street bearing his name. This was reported in social networks in the group of the Udomel urban district. The cat helped to immortalize the name of the great scientist and inventor. He sits astride the radio, which would not exist without Alexander Popov. A funny mini-monument was installed on September 24 The music lover cat will not only raise the mood - you can take a picture with him. But you don't need to sit down on the receiver - it won't stand it. And they also ask not to leave inscriptions like "Vasya was here".

Radio CAE ?? from Werl Germany - Off Air. 50 years later, on October 18, 2020, we're bringing back the last four hours of the program. The moving farewell of a station that shaped many in Westphalia in the original tone from 18-22 UTC / 20-24 CEST to 7500 kHz across Europe!" Christian replied to my follow-up enquiry, advising that the transmition will be from Armenia. Additional info just received from Christian Milling advises that the transmitter will be "100 kW at HR 8/8/1 directional antenna towards 305 degree" {via Yerevan Gavar bcast center site in Armenia, wb}. (Christian Milling of shortwave service; via Alan Roe-UK Oct 2) CYPRUS "Russian Radio" started playing in Cyprus! 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.

"At 87.8 MHz on the FM dial, this is Canadian Forces Radio CAE in Werl, Germany." For over 14 years this station break was heard on FM at the very front, on Beginning of the scale if you lived on the eastern edge of the Ruhr area. At the March 21, 1956 at 5 p.m. there was a unique transmitter "on the air" gone: Radio Canadian Army Europe (CAE), the radio program for the Canadian armed forces in Westphalia, initially on the frequency 96.9 MHz, later on to 87.8 MHz ... From the garrison "Fort Victoria", on a hill of hair, directly on on the B 63 between Wickede and Werl, the transmission was 250 watts HF performance for the soldiers and their families of the brigades in and around Werl, Soest, Lippstadt, Iserlohn and Hemer. The 100 m high transmission mast was far away visible, and with a little skill and a good antenna you received Radio CAE in the north to Osnabrueck, in the east to Paderborn, in the south almost to Wuppertal and in the west to Oberhausen, i.e. almost all of the Muensterland, in the front Sauerland and in the Ruhr area. Radio CAE ended on Sunday, October 18, 1970 at midnight. So went a station that is probably unique in Europe has ended. The Canadian garrison was completely relocated to Lahr in the Black Forest southern Germany and English soldiers took over the barracks around Iserlohn, Werl and Hemer. The transmitter was then used as a converter for BFBS for a few years. Today WDR 2 the frequency 87.8 MHz from the telecommunications tower in Schwerte. The old The radio mast of "Radio CAE in Werl / Germany" is no longer in place. For the 50th anniversary of the "Station Close-Down" s has musicians and Sound tinkerer Eroc the last 4 hours of broadcast from October 18, 1970 digital restored and we will broadcast this 1: 1 on October 18th, 2020 (then as now a Sunday) between 6-10 p.m. UTC (= 8-24 p.m. CET, i.e. at the original time) again to be heard: On shortwave 7500 kHz for Europe. {via Gavar Armenia 300 kW 305 degr} More information about Radio CAE at: google_translate (Christian Milling-D, A-DX ng Oct 2) Programmtipp: 50 Jahre Close-Down von Radio CAE "At 87.8 on the FM-dial, this is Canadian Forces Radio CAE in Werl, Germany." Ueber 14 Jahre lang hoerte man diesen Station Break auf UKW ganz vorne, am Anfang der Skala, sofern man am oestlichen Rande des Ruhrgebiets wohnte. Am 21. Maerz 1956 um 17.00 Uhr war hier ein einzigartiger Sender "on the air" gegangen: Radio Canadian Army Europe (CAE), das Rundfunkprogramm fuer die kanadischen Streitkraefte in Westfalen, zunaechst auf der Frequenz 96.9 MHz, spaeter dann auf 87.8 MHz ... Von der Garnison "Fort Victoria" aus, auf einem Huegel der Haar, direkt an der B 63 zwischen Wickede und Werl gelegen, sendete man mit 250 Watt HF-Leistung fuer die Soldaten und ihre Familien der Brigades in und um Werl, Soest, Lippstadt, Iserlohn und Hemer. Der 100 m hohe Sendemast war weithin sichtbar, und mit ein bisschen Geschick und einer guten Antenne empfing man Radio CAE im Norden bis Osnabrueck, im Osten bis Paderborn, im Sueden fast bis Wuppertal und im Westen bis Oberhausen, also nahezu im gesamten Muensterland, im vorderen Sauerland und im Ruhrgebiet. Radio CAE endete am Sonntag, dem 18. Oktober 1970 um Mitternacht. Damit ging ein in Europa wohl einzigartiger Sender zu Ende. Die kanadische Garnison wurde komplett nach Lahr im Schwarzwald verlegt und englische Soldaten uebernahmen die Kasernen um Iserlohn, Werl und Hemer. Die Sendeanlage wurde dann noch einige Jahre lang als Umsetzer fuer BFBS benutzt. Heute belegt WDR 2 die Frequenz 87.8 MHz vom Fernmeldeturm in Schwerte aus. Der alte Sendemast von "Radio CAE in Werl / Germany" steht laengst nicht mehr.
