The petition of the General Director of the GATR Alexander Malkevich was granted on October 18. The company, 100% owned by St. Petersburg, must repay the debt of a private entrepreneur to the DIA within 20 days. The Hermitage radio station (legal entity - Radio Company Kultura CJSC) broadcasts at a frequency of 90.1 FM. In May of this year, it introduced the observation procedure, which precedes the declaration of the debtor bankrupt. The sole owner and general director of the company is Tatyana Bazhanova, the wife of the ex-owner of the International Bank "St. Petersburg" Sergei Bazhanov (MBSP). 2 weeks before the introduction of the temporary administration in MBSP and a month before the revocation of his license, Bazhanova transferred money from the radio station's account opened in her husband's bank to an account in Promsvyazbank. The order of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation on the additional creation of MBSP reserves for 8.9 billion rubles, which led to the revocation of the license, was issued by the regulator a week before the transfer, on September 24, with a deadline no later than October 4, reports DP. Bazhanova in the bank, her spouse held the position of vice president and was a member of the board of directors. In 2020, the court on the claim of the DIA recognized the money transfer as an invalid transaction and demanded that the money be returned to the bankruptcy estate of the debtor, MBSP. A year later, after failure to comply with the requirements, a bankruptcy claim was filed against the radio company. newprospect.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__81378/) * A new image advertising campaign for Vostok FM radio has started. --------------------------------------------- Advertising slogan "Vacation with us all year round!" and a new bright, sunny image layout broadcast the main message of the radio station: "Vostok FM" is the mood of a summer vacation in every sound!

Belgorod radio frequencies are being filled with new voices, and since October 21, Radio Rus has revived the 91.8 FM wave. Unlike many other local stations, Radio Rus is not a relay - it was created and launched in Belgorod. The initiator was a group of Radio Holding, which has been broadcasting for over 20 years. Since Radio Rus positions itself as a real people's radio, they wanted to choose the appropriate name. The creators remembered that the Belgorod region is geographically located in the very center of the former Rus - and they found this fact quite interesting and appropriate. The station is musical, all other programs and podcasts only dilute the air. She plans to hook her audience with a variety of music playlists that will inspire Belgorod residents for creativity and love ...

BCLNES Il radioascolto in Italia ----------------------------- - Kazakhstan Celebrates 100 Years of Radio History. At the present time, the central Asian nation of Kazakhstan is celebrating the 100th anniversary of radio broadcasting in their country. It was in October 1921 that the first radio broadcasting station was inaugurated in the city of Orenburg, exactly one hundred years ago. The independent nation of Kazakhstan is the world's largest landlocked country with no direct access to the ocean, and it is the 9th largest country in the world, with a population approaching twenty million. Interestingly, a small section of Kazakhstan, about a hundred miles wide on the western side of the Ural River, is actually located in Europe, though the Asian section of their country extends across the territory of the Great Steppes for perhaps nearly 2,000 miles. Ancient Kazakhstan was populated by Asian peoples, and sections of the historic trade route known as the Silk Road traversed through their countryside. The Kazakh tourist industry is beginning to flourish and in normal times seven million tourists flock into the country, mainly from Russia itself. It was during the mid 1800s that the Kazakh territory was absorbed into the Russian Empire, and the city of Orenburg became their first, though temporary, capital city. Interestingly, these days Orenburg is located in Russia, not in Kazakhstan, though it has a large population of Kazakh people. It takes a full day to travel by bus from Orenburg to the border with Kazakhstan itself. In 1929, Alma Ata (Almaty) became their capital city, and in 1997, a modern and quite remarkable new capital city was designated, Astana, which is located in the center of their country. We might also add that the government announced six years ago (2015) the progressive implementation of a change over in their written Cyrillic Script to the English Latin Script. It was on September 29, 1921, that the Russian government in Moscow announced their plan to establish a radio broadcasting station for Kazakhstan, and it would be located in Orenburg, in southern Russia, and at least 50 miles north of the border with Kazakhstan. This new radio station was identified under the Russian callsign RA25, and programming was in the Russian language. In 1929, this station was listed with 1 kW on longwave 468 kHz. 640 m The Russian government installed a second radio station for Kazakhstan in 1926 and the chosen location was Petropavlovsk, this time within Kazakhstan itself, just 30 miles south of the border with Russia. This station was identified under the Russian callsign system as RA64. The first broadcasts in the Kazakh language went on the air during the following year on March 23, 1927. In 1929, this station was listed with 45 kW on mediumwave 857 kHz. In the middle of last century, a massive number of wired radio stations were installed throughout the Soviet Union, a system that we would identify these days as cable radio. At the height of their usage, there were at least 800 cable radio centers in Kazakhstan feeding a total of anywhere up to a million radio speakers in public places and in the homes of the people. At the same time, a nationwide network of over-the-air-radio broadcasting stations was also developed; longwave, mediumwave, shortwave, and ultimately FM (European) Band 1 and (International) Band 2. It is known that home service shortwave stations were established in at least nine different centers. The first listing in the WR(TV)HB for shortwave transmitters in Kazakhstan is presented in the sixth annual edition, for the year 1952. A total of five shortwave channels is shown, each rated at 10 kW. It is known that there were two major shortwave stations in Kazakhstan, both near the city of Alma Ata-Almaty in the southeast of the country, almost on the border with Kyrgyzstan, another former Soviet republic. These shortwave transmitters were in use for Home Service programming, regional and international coverage, and also for the jamming of incoming shortwave signals from other countries. The usage of shortwave radio broadcasting for coverage within Kazakstan began in the middle of the last century soon after the end of World War 2. The known listings would suggest that shortwave broadcasting transmitters were installed in about a dozen different regional locations, and that the power levels varied from quite low up to around 20 kW. The two major international shortwave transmitter stations were constructed near Alma Ata, and both sites can still be seen on Google Earth. Their first major shortwave station was constructed at Dmitriyevka north east from Alma Ata around three quarters of a century ago during the 1950s and it contained more than 30 transmitters. The shortwave transmitters ranged in power from very low up to 200 kW, though fourteen of them were rated at 100 kW. At least nine of these transmitters were in use for program broadcasting, on longwave, mediumwave and FM. A second large transmitter station was constructed at Karaturk, and this station contained four shortwave transmitters at 500 kW, and two at 1,000 kW. The Karaturk station was also located north east of Alma Ata, just a few miles distant from the older station at Dmitriyevka. These two very large shortwave broadcasting stations near Alma Ata in Kazakhstan were closed, effective on March 1, 2012. There were several occasions when the radio programming from Kazakhstan was carried on other shortwave stations associated with the Russian Federation. For example in 2000, two shortwave transmitters in the Ukraine, 100 kW each, relayed programming from Kazakhstan for the benefit of listeners in Europe. The Radio Moscow shortwave network also carried regional Kazakh programming on many occasions. For a period of about ten years, towards the end of the last century and into this new century, several international shortwave stations took out a relay from Alma Ata. Among these stations were Radio Netherlands, the Voice of America, BBC London, Vatican Radio, Deutsche Welle, Radio Free Asia and Trans World Radio. Interestingly, during the year 2001, Alma Ata also carried a relay of programming on behalf of the independent shortwave station WRNO in the United States. We congratulate Radio Kazakhstan on the significant occasion of their 100th anniversary.

On Sunday 7 November 2021, the first Sunday after Romanian Radio Day, which we celebrate annually on November 1, we invite you to take part in the Radio Listener Day at IRR. The year 2021, like the year 2020, was marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, which completely changed our daily life and habits, alienated us from relatives and friends, forced us to abandon many of our favorite free time habits. Under the comprehensive pressure of news and information, we realized how difficult it is to select real news, real information, from fake and alarmist news. Throughout the pandemic, public radio and television channels have been striving to do quality journalism, broadcasting information that audiences could rely on, and their response has been commensurate with people turning back to public broadcasters. This year, on the occasion of Radio Listener Day at the IRR, we want to ask you again, from which sources do you get information about the pandemic, and whether you have blacklisted sources of information that spread fake news and misinform. What is the role of radio, and especially public radio, in your life in this time of uncertainty? We are waiting with great interest for your answers. You can send them in writing - by e-mail, via Facebook, or by filling out a form on our website, by regular mail or fax, as well as orally - in an audio file or by phone.
