Broadcast news https://ftp.radio.ru/pub/2021/12/7.pdf (http://www.radio.ru/) * Why were the names of cities written on the scale of radio receivers. --------------------------------------------- Nowadays, only elderly people remember this quivering feeling when you slowly turn the radio tuner and the red arrow floats past Berlin, Rome, London, Warsaw, Paris. The entire scale was strewn with the names of cities, and there were a lot of foreign ones. I have never been able to listen to the radio of Rome or Paris at the indicated places. So why were the names of cities written on the scale then? The establishment of radio broadcasting practically coincided with the First World War. The first private radio stations were listened to by rare fans of radio engineering, but gradually the equipment was improved and the number of those wishing began to grow. In the early 20s of the last century, Europe was only moving away from the last war, but the situation was completely different in the United States - the economy was flourishing there. Many American firms began to produce the simplest radios. To increase demand for their products, they opened their own radio stations. In almost 2 years, 600 broadcasting licenses were issued in the United States. The power of the radio stations was low and covered only one city and its immediate surroundings. By 1925, every fifth family already had a radio, and this is already a huge audience. Broadcasting has become a huge source of advertising revenue. Chaos was on the air in the United States. radio stations interfered with each other, disrupting the frequencies and broadcasting power. In 1928, the Federal Radio Commission issued new licenses to all radio stations, indicating the assigned frequency and power. Subsequently, many radio stations in the cities merged into broadcasting corporations (NBC Red, NBC Blue, CBS, Mutual). The fashion to indicate on the scale of a radio station by the names of cities began precisely as a consequence of this event. Radio listeners liked it very much - it is much easier to find their favorite radio station than to remember the frequency in kilohertz. It was not easy to place such a huge list of cities on the scale. Radio broadcasting in the USSR took a different path: in 1922, the most powerful radio station in the world was built, which made it possible to cover the entire territory of the USSR with radio broadcasting. The active construction of radio stations in large cities began in the 30s. By the beginning of World War II, there were already about a hundred radio stations in the country. The advent of transistors in the mid- 50s gave birth to a fashion for miniaturization, which forced the abandonment of listing cities on a small receiver scale. Since then, many radio stations have remained at their frequencies. Radio Romania - 153 kHz. The first program of Radio Poland - 220 kHz. And on medium waves there are still such stations that correspond to their inscription on the scale. author: Taras Medvedev, autoparus.by (https://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__81935/) * The radio station "Zvezda FM" is a laureate of the Government of the Russian Federation. -------------------------------------------------- - Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree on awarding awards of the Government of the Russian Federation in the field of mass media.

According to RTRS, the project is timed to coincide with the 97th anniversary of the Nizhny Novgorod radio. On the air of Radio Russia at a frequency of 93.9 FM, everyone's favorite New Year's compositions, as well as famous poems performed by the announcers and presenters of the Nizhny Novgorod State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, will sound. In addition, during the radio broadcast, recognizable lines from those sounding in the compositions will appear on the edges of the Nizhny Novgorod TV tower, and the structure itself, thanks to the illumination, will turn into a decorated Christmas tree. The director of the Nizhny Novgorod branch of the RTRS Mikhail Nebolsin said that on December 27, 1924, regular radio broadcasting began in the region, following Moscow and St. Petersburg. "On December 27, 1924, regular radio broadcasting began in our region: the Nizhny Novgorod radio became the third oldest in the country after Moscow and St. Petersburg. In the 20th century, Nizhny Novgorod absolutely deservedly received the unspoken status of the national" radio capital. " , and thanks to the advanced developments of the Nizhny Novgorod radio laboratory scientists, for the first time, instead of Morse code signals, a "human voice" sounded on the air. It is pleasant to note that today the Nizhny Novgorod region is one of the leaders in terms of radio broadcasting development in Russia, "said Mikhail Nebolsin, director of the Nizhny Novgorod branch of RTRS. For 97 years, Nizhny Novgorod radio has gone from a small impromptu studio in the library building to a modern hardware-studio complex. "What could be more relevant on the eve of the New Year than good wishes, a festive mood and a magical atmosphere, which we want to share with Nizhny Novgorod residents on our special broadcast," added Nazariy Zeleny, director of the VGTRK branch of the Nizhny Novgorod State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company.

But in reality, William Neil 'Doc' Gallagher was a fraudster, advertising his financial services from a Christian Protestant radio station in North Texas. With commercials promising returns of between 6 and 8%, he had convinced about two hundred pensioners, listeners of the Christian radio station, to entrust him with 32 million dollars, most of which he 'burned' in personal expenses. Financially, nothing new: Gallagher applied the classic 'Ponzi scheme', paying interest with money collected from new clients until the castle collapsed. The novelty lies in the fact that Gallagher exploited the notoriety and credibility of the Christian broadcasters (followed in the States by more than 20 million believers) to get rich. But in the end, justice presented him with his bill: the 'money doctor', now in his 80s, will have to serve three life sentences, in addition to the 25 years, he was sentenced to in 2020 by a Dallas court. (https://blog.radioreporter.org/usa-christian-radio-listeners-scammed-for-millions-of-dollars) * 225 kHz Longwave radio broadcasting is becoming an exotic affair. ------------------------------------------------------------- Those who remained can be counted on one hand. Let's talk about Poland. Probably the loudest station in the range. Frequency 225 kHz ... Back in 1974, near the small village of Gombin, a miracle was built - the Warsaw radio mast. Antenna mast with a height of 646 meters. More than half a kilometer into the sky. The need to build this facility was the fact that the long- wave transmitter in the village of Raszyn, which was operating at that time, did not provide the necessary coverage for Poland. The new location was specially chosen: the central location relative to the Polish territory, high electrical conductivity of the soil. Until 1991 - the tallest building in the world. The mast worked as a half-wave emitter. Power 2000 kW. General characteristics: Weight: Polish sources claim 420 tons Height: 646.38 meters (2120.67 feet) Frequency: 227 kHz (before February 1988), 225 kHz (after February 1988) Type: Steel lattice mast with guy wires. On August 8, 1991, the guy wires were repaired. As the workers secured the temporary cables, a sudden blowing wind twisted the mast and it bent about halfway up. After the destruction of the mast, transmissions at a frequency of 225 kHz continued from the old transmitter in the village of Rashin. However, the facility was used to broadcast the second program of Polish Radio at 198kHz. To work at two frequencies at once, the transmitter in the village of Rashin could not, and transmissions at a frequency of 198 kHz were stopped before the launch of a new transmitting facility. In 1995, the Polish authorities began work on the renovation of the Warsaw Mast, as the importance of long-wave transmissions remained relevant. But local residents opposed the restoration, fearing the danger of electro-magnetic radiation. The search for a new location for the transmitting facility has been started. A new location was found at a former military facility near the town of Solec Kujawski. It is worth noting that local residents there initially resisted construction as well. The tension was eased after a large donation from Polish Radio for the development of the local community. The programs from the new facility were broadcast on September 4, 1999. The masts are 330 and 289 meters high. To this day, the broadcasts of the First Polish Radio Program can be heard at a frequency of 225 kHz. Power: 1200 / 700 kW.
