The last time in St. Petersburg Roskomnadzor put up for the competition two frequencies in the FM band three years ago, their cost was officially estimated at 14 million rubles each. Today, 38 radio stations are broadcasting in the city. According to Mediascope, the Hermitage takes a share of 2 , 6% of all radio stations. The only owner of the "Hermitage" is Tatyana Bazhanova, the wife of the ex-owner of the bank MBSP. The decision to introduce surveillance was made at the first meeting. The interim manager of the CJSC, appointed by the court, within 6 months should either find it on the accounts of the radio station money to pay off the debt, or recommend the court to declare it bankrupt. Debt in the amount of 13 million rubles was recognized by the court back in March 2020. The Deposit Insurance Agency, as the bankruptcy commissioner of the International Bank of St. Petersburg (IBSP), challenged the transfer of money from the radio station's account opened in MBSP to the account in Promsvyazbank. The operation was carried out two weeks before the revocation of the license from MBSP, which falls under the three-year term for challenging transactions. dp.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__80253/) Sverdlovskaya oblast. ------------------------------- * In the Sverdlovsk region, 9 more settlements will be able to "catch" radio stations in the FM range.

Few have devices that can receive such a radio signal. Therefore, outdated equipment has been replaced with modern FM transmitters. This modernization made terrestrial FM radio available to most of the country's residents. All this is part of a joint large-scale program of VGTRK and RTRS to expand the broadcasting network. Earlier, the radio stations "Radio Rossii", "Mayak" and "Vesti FM" were included in the first multiplex along with 10 TV channels. For their broadcast in the Sverdlovsk region, a network of 66 transmitting stations was created, which were primarily equipped with equipment for television broadcasting. Then the RTRS signalmen installed broadcasting transmitters on the towers. All in all, the VGTRK radio station network in the Sverdlovsk region will consist of 51 new objects. Thanks to this project, from April 29 in Yekaterinburg, the branch of the RTRS "Sverdlovsk Regional Broadcasting Center" launched the broadcast of the radio station "Dorozhnoe Radio". The signal became available to 1.6 million listeners of the capital of the Urals and the surrounding area at 94.2 MHz in the FM band. Earlier in Yekaterinburg a new radio station "Mir" appeared, which went on the air on April 15 at a frequency of 97.9 MHz.

The amount of the claim is RUB 10.7 million. The second plaintiff in the case was Dmitry Marov, the main shareholder of SoundStream. He told the newspaper that GPM Radio did not fulfill the terms of the binding agreement concluded with the owners of Russian Media in November 2019. By the end of December 2020, the parties were supposed to sign agreements concluding the deal to sell the SoundStream platform to GPM Radio. Before the sale, Russian Media had to update the service at its own expense - improve hosting and increase content. To this end, Marov, as a private person, allocated a loan to Russkoye Media in the amount of "about 11 million rubles," writes Vedomosti. Now he is demanding reimbursement of these funds from the defendant.

It will replace FM. ----------------------------------------------- Experts of the branch of the RTRS "Magadan Regional Broadcasting Center" conducted the second stage of testing digital radio broadcasting on the territory of the Kolyma districts, the Vesti Magadan TV channel reported. This is an alternative to FM radio broadcasting, which in the Kolyma districts is still available only in the settlements themselves, and even then not in all. In case of switching to digital, it will be possible to catch the air even while driving along the highways. The second stage of testing will result in a roadmap for Kolyma broadcasters. Recall that the first testing of digital radio broadcasting, conducted at the end of 2020, showed that among 14 settlements of Kolyma, only five have excellent signal reception. Today FM broadcasting in the Magadan region covers only the territories of settlements. There are 16 points in the list. Ninety percent, according to RTRS, is not covered by a radio signal. In these places, the target audiences are military personnel, shift workers, members of scientific expeditions and meteorologists. The DRM signal will put them in the "listeners" category. In addition to a good signal, high-quality sound and low costs compared to analogue broadcasting, the digital standard can transmit classified information to government services and law enforcement agencies, inform about emergencies, weather reports and traffic situations. Another advantage is the display of the names of headings and programs, musical compositions and even the name of the author or host of the program. The first DRM trial zones appeared in the world in 2003. A number of countries are already using them on a regular basis. "The DRM format has already entered commercial operation and has been in operation for a long time in India, China, and the Republic of Korea. The broadcast media of a number of these states broadcast on the territory of the Magadan Region, well, and more broadly there, in the eastern part of the Russian Federation. And in principle, they can be heard successfully, "commented Artem Krivosheev, head of the financial and economic department of the branch of the RTRS" Far Eastern RC ". vesma.today (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__80304/) * VHF radio communication in the civilian fleet. --------------------------------------- In Russian Video: 16:14 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6kFgXzfQq8 Welcome to Capt.

Исполком Европейского вещательного союза (EBU) приостановил членство Белтелерадиокомпании из-за трансляции белорусскими госканалами видео с "признательными" показаниями задержанных в республике. Об этом сообщает пресс-служба Союза. "EBU внимательно следил за постепенным ухудшением ситуации со свободой СМИ в Беларуси, настойчиво призывая БТРК как члена союза отстаивать фундаментальные ценности государственных СМИ, в первую очередь свободу слова и независимость", - указано в заявлении. В Европейском вещательном союзе выразили обеспокоенность из-за трансляций на белорусских каналах роликов, на которых задержанные дают признания "явно под принуждением".

The radio channels of the public broadcaster. From the top: Pershy Kanal (heir to the station that started on 15 November 1925, with the announcement "Gavoryts Minsk!"), Radio Belarus (created in 1962), Kanal Kultura (described as "radio for intellectuals", on the air since 1 January 2002), Radio Stalitsa (also known as Radio Capital, it is aimed at the capital region and has an original music selection that devotes a lot of space to hard rock), Radius FM (with a modern sound, in operation for 15 years) In "White Russia", a country where President Alexander Grigor'evič Lukashenko is increasingly tightening repression against free voices and journalists, there are more than 110 channels operating on old FM, from 66 to 73.8 MHz. Pershy Kanal, Kanal Kultura and Radio Stalista are the three stations of the Belarusian National Radio and Television Company (BTRC) that operate throughout the country. In addition to these, there are local stations, which are also in the orbit of the state broadcaster: Gomel FM, Radio Mogilev, Radio Grodno, Radio Brest, Radio Vitebsk (all in Russian language) and Radius FM which operates in the capital, Minsk. A double net, FM and Oirt ... According to our Belarusian correspondent Alexey Yankovsky, there are no plans to shut down transmitters in the OIRT band, only a few vague rumours, and there is probably still a good presence of receivers in homes. However, Alexey points out that the network is a duplication of the one in the CCIR FM band: for every transmitter in the 66- 73.8 MHz range, another one has already been active for years from the same location in the 87.5-108 MHz range. The same is true for all the other broadcasters, except for Stalista which, in fact, is missing a few installations to have an 'overlapping' network. And the presence of these dual networks, in terms of both energy and maintenance costs, is likely to become an increasingly difficult cost for the BTRC to bear, especially after the pandemic: if a choice is necessary, it could be the OIRT network that is sacrificed. Already at the moment, the OIRT transmitters of all the various channels are generally only switched on from 6 or 7 a.m. until midnight, while the FM transmitters run for 24 hours. by Franco Martelli, part 4-continues (https://blog.radioreporter.org/) PARTNER CHANNELS AND INTERNET ============== SWLDXBulgaria News May 29-30 Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria -------------------------- GERMANY(non) Pan American Broadcasting / Preparing for Jesus on 13580 kHz via MBR Tashkent, May 29 1300-1400 on 13580 TAC 100 kW / 066 deg to JPN Japanese Sat, fair+jammer via SDR Novosibirsk Russia http://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2021/05/pab-preparing-for-jesus-on-13580-khz.html UZBEKISTAN(non) North Korean Democratization Committee CDNK on 7580 kHz via RRTM Telecom Tashkent, May 29: 1355-1400 on 7580 TAC 100 kW / 076 deg to NEAs 5 min. strong open carrier AND AGAIN AWFUL MODULATION TODAY, 1400-1430 on 7580 TAC 100 kW / 076 deg to NEAs Korean Tue/Thu/Sat, very good signal via SDR Novosibirsk RUS http://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2021/05/cdnk-on-7580-khz-via-rrtm-telecom.html SHORTWAVE BULLETIN Issue no. 1977, 30 May 2021 edited by Thomas Nilsson, Sweden ----------------------------------------------- Other radio news UNID Russian Numbers Station recorded April 26, 2021 Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Paul Walker, who recently shared this recording of an unidentified numbers station in Russian.

In the northern capital, a 90-year-old pensioner fell victim to radio scammers. This was reported to 78.ru by a law en- forcement source. On Tuesday, May 25, an elderly man contacted the police and said that while listening to the Radio Russii radio station, he found out that there was a special company that returned money to those who were not paid interest by banks in the 90s. Having called the number of the organization, the pensioner found out that in order to receive compensation, it was necessary to pay a commission and transferred 310 thousand rubles to an unknown account. A criminal case was initiated on the fact of fraud. photo: freepik.com / diena.it | text: 78.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__80221/) (RUS-DX # 1135) SWLDXBulgaria News and DX RE MIX NEWS # 1190, May 30 Ivo Ivanov, Bulgaria ------------------------------------ DX RE MIX NEWS # 1190, May 30 http://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2021/05/dx-re-mix-news-1190.html UZBEKISTAN(non) Radio Iran International on new 15629.8v, ex 15599.9v kHz via RRTM Telecom Tashkent, May 30: 0600-1330 NF 15629.8vTAC 100 kW / 236 deg to WeAs Farsi, ex 15599.8v kHz, very good via SDR Novosibirsk Russia http://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2021/05/radio-iran-international-on-new-156298v.html UZBEKISTAN(non) Radio Iran International on 15629.8v kHz via RRTM Telecom Tashkent, May 30 1330-1600 on 15629.8vTAC 100 kW / 236 deg to WeAs Farsi, good signal via SDR Novosibirsk RUS Probably Radio Iran International is on 15629.8v kHz continuously 0600-1600UT, please check! http://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.com/2021/05/radio-iran-international-on-156298v-khz_30.html BC-DX 1467, 31 May 2021 Editor: Wolfgang Bueschel. Germany ----------------- GERMANY 3985 kHz Radio Belarus, via RSH Kall-Krekel, Eifel, Germany. As I have mentioned before, it is interesting to get the take on world events from the countries where the events are taking place. No sooner had we a temporary peace of sorts in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict when Belarus decided to take centre stage. While Radio Belarus no longer broadcasts on shortwave from its own territory, it does broadcast using the facilities of ShortwaveService in Germany. There are daily broadcasts in English, French, German, and Spanish on 3985 kHz. The English broadcasts are at 1700-1800 and 1900- 2000 UTC. Today's (30 May's) English broadcast monitored and recorded using the U. Twente SDR receiver, briefly covered some of the fallout of the Ryanair plane hijacking including suspension of Belavia flights to European countries. It also included some excerpts from Lukashenko's rambling speech to lawmakers and top officials last week during which he said Belarus "is in the center of Europe, and if something flares up here, it could trigger another world war ... We will respond firmly to any sanctions, attacks and provocations. Not because we want to provoke a fight in the center of the continent. We don't want it, we have had enough of it, but because you in the West are giving us no other choice." Also reported was the decision of Ukraine to stop imports of electricity from Belarus (and Russia). But, according to Kiev, this was decided before the highjacking I have read. By the way, some us might remember Radio Minsk from the old days. But I believe they only broadcast in Belarusian.

Moscow. ---------------------- Radio Sharmanka. WEB: http://radiosharmanka.mozello.com/ Radio Sharmanka began broadcasting in 2014 in Moscow. The air is based on pop and retro songs of the 80-90s, chanson and other Russian compositions. The playlist is formed on the basis of letters from radio listeners and fans of singing in karaoke, so the nature of the radio broadcast conveys the atmosphere of a karaoke club. Sharmanka radio presenter, Yuri Ivanchin, a singer under the pseudonym RAYVAN, author and performer of his songs, often includes original pop music performers on the air. For example, the new songs of Master Po with their pop rhythms of youth disco music of the 90s took their well-deserved place on the air. Also, the already well-known performer and author of her songs, Bronza, has repeatedly delighted listeners with her unique masterpieces.
