Thus, the potential coverage of the station increased by 1.25 million listeners. Monte Carlo in Kazan started by changing the format of the existing station. "We carefully study the market and monitor audience preferences. Radio Monte Carlo is great quality content, a station with a vibrant playlist and long experience in the radio market. Taking into account its merits and the data of analysts, our media holding decided to change the broadcasting format at 106.3 FM on Monte Carlo radio, "the Fresh Wind media holding said in an official appeal. Radio Monte Carlo continues to actively expand its federal network. The beginning of 2021 was marked for the station by the launch of broadcasting in Kazan and Khabarovsk. The nearest plans are to start broadcasting in the city of Togliatti. "Joining the federal radio Monte Carlo network of such a strategically important city as Kazan is a very important step for us," says Maxim Poltoranin, deputy general director for the regional network of the Russian Media Group. "We are very pleased that the regional partners of the Russian Media Group are actively responding to the proposal to launch Monte Carlo broadcasting in Russian cities, which speaks of the quality and relevance of the content." Recall that until 2019 Radio Monte Carlo broadcast in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kaliningrad, remaining a small niche station.

When rebuilding the receiver, do not forget to replace the electrolytes. P. S. I do not force anyone to remake "Selga", this is just a demonstration of my method, so for those who start whining they say "why spoil the receiver", once again carefully reread the postscript.

The advertising video was filmed on the streets of the capital, in the surroundings of which Saluki, Cassette and the hosts of STUDIO 21 - MC Buried and Sam appear. The choice of locations according to the director's idea proves that poetry lives everywhere, and you can see it in the simplest and most familiar things. The video was created by Geleskhan Batyrkhanov. His debut documentary "Flip" about the history of Russian skateboarding in the summer of 2020 received a special prize from the BeatFilmFestival jury. According to the auto-video work, it reflects the essence of street culture: "It is a chaotic collection of different manifestations of freedom, reminding everyone that an endless source of inspiration lies in our history. He who knows and respects his past has a future "- said Batyrkhanov.... You can watch the promotional video "Wave of Street Culture" on YouTube, hear other details of the action on the air of STUDIO 21, as well as read it on www.studio21.ru and the radio station's pages on social networks.
