On March 22, 2022, for pre-trial consideration in the Tagansky District Court of Moscow, at 9:20 a.m., an administrative statement of claim by Ekho Moskvy JSC was scheduled to recognize the requirements of the Prosecutor General's Office as illegal and to notify the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Communications and the actions of the latter on restricting access to an information resource - the radio station "Echo of Moscow", - she said. On March 1, the radio station was taken off the air at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation for spreading fakes about a special operation in Ukraine. Later, by a majority vote of the board of directors of Ekho Moskvy, a decision was made to liquidate the radio channel and the radio station's website. The contract with editor-in-chief Alexei Venediktov was terminated. Later it became known that Sputnik radio would start broadcasting on the Ekho Moskvy frequency. bfm.ru (https://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__82515/) * Alexey Venediktov named the main reasons for the closure of Ekho Moskvy. ------------------------------------------------- The former editor-in-chief of the Ekho Moskvy radio station, Alexei Venediktov, named the main reasons for its closure. In an interview for the YouTube channel Tell Gordeeva, the journalist explained that the radio station was liquidated due to the statements of the hosts on the air and social networks. "You build, build a building, and they seal it for you, and you build a masterpiece there so that people live there. They built it, lived there, once - and sealed it without calling me, although they discussed editorial policy. (...) It's a shame, it's a shame," the former editor-in-chief of Ekho Moskvy commented on the decision of the board of directors of the radio station to liquidate it. According to Venediktov, the main reason for the closure of the radio station was the reasoning of journalists on the air of Ekho Moskvy about a special operation in Ukraine, which they considered a call for extremism. In addition, the former editor-in-chief of the radio station noted that it was liquidated, among other things, because of the alleged support of extremist statements on the air by the hosts of Ekho Moskvy, as well as because of their posts about Russia's operation in Ukraine in social networks. At the same time, he stressed that the publications of the employees had nothing to do with the position of the radio station. On March 5, it became known that the board of directors of the radio station terminated the contract with its editor-in-chief Alexei Venediktov. The editorial office ceased its activities on March 3 after Ekho Moskvy was disconnected from broadcasting, and the radio station's website and pages on social networks were blocked at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office. photo: Pavel Bednyakov / RIA Novosti | text: lenta.ru Source: https://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__82531/ (OnAir.ru) * The unknown about the known: how the radio "Echo of Moscow" was created. -------------------------------------------------- Thanks to the efforts of enthusiastic journalists, in 1990 it was possible to accomplish the almost impossible - to establish an independent radio station in the USSR.

A reception observation is particularly noteworthy, which points to a direct confrontation in this area as well. This applies to the 810 kHz frequency, on which the Ukrainian military broadcaster Armija FM is temporarily active. This medium wave is more of an appendage to the VHF network and is even not mentioned in the Armija FM frequency list. Now there is a report that the Russian Westi FM was heard on this frequency. Anything else is inevitably speculation. However, one possibility can be cited that would not even require technical changes. The medium wave station in Volgograd, which has been idle since the beginning of 2015, is thought to have been conserved. In addition to the main frequency of 567 kHz, there is also a second powerful transmitter for the frequency of 810 kHz. It belonged to Radio Majak's AM network, which was shut down in 2012. In the meantime, attempts are being made in the Ukraine to restart those medium-wave transmitters that have only been idle for a few years due to the chronic underfunding of broadcasting. The 549 kHz frequency, which was switched on again immediately on February 24, was followed the next day by the 837 kHz transmitter. However, a reception observation speaks of the almost immediate termination of the signal at 3:37 p.m. CET. On February 26 and 27, two more transmitters, at best 25 kW, went back into operation on 657 kHz and 1404 kHz. In Kyiv, on the other hand, there is nothing left to reactivate. The extensive transmission systems for long wave (207 kHz, shut down in 2010), medium wave and short wave (shut down here in 2002) were demolished between 2005 and 2013. One should not bet too early on the transmitters in the Lviv area, about which there is speculation precisely because of the former single-wave operation of medium wave 549 kHz: Years ago, there was lively mention of the use of the hacksaw in the transmitter room."

"Echo of Moscow" is off the air. Broadcasting of the radio sta- tion "Echo of Moscow" at a frequency of 91.2 FM is stopped, the trans- mitter is turned off. The broadcast was carried out from the Ostankino tV tower, the transmitter power was 5 kW. The disconnection occurred after the Prosecutor General's Office demanded to restrict access to the web- sites of Ekho Moskvy and the Dozhd TV channel (recognized as a foreign agent). "Echo of Moscow" is off the air. This was announced by the editor-in-chief of the radio station Alexei Venediktov. Earlier, the Prosecutor General's Office demanded to restrict access to the Ekho Moskvy website. This de- cision was made due to "the purposeful placement of information with calls for extremist activity and violence, the placement of deliberately false information about the actions of Russian military personnel in the DPR and LPR." The editors of Ekho Moskvy categorically disagree with the presen- tation of the Prosecutor General's Office, ? Aleksey Venediktov, editor- in-chief of Ekho, wrote about this in his telegram channel. The editors of Ekho Moskvy categorically disagree with the presentation of the Prosecutor General's Office, which led to the radio station being taken off the air and the site blocked. The claims contained in the sub- mission are not supported by any examples, any evidence, they are unfound- ed and insulting to journalists and citizens of Russia. The editors will challenge this decision in the courts. We see in it a political component, as well as the introduction of censorship, which is directly prohibited by the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Roskomnadzor confirmed that it had blocked access to the radio station's web-site in Russia at the request of the Prosecutor General's Office. This was confirmed to Interfax by a representative of the department. They cla- rified that they restricted access to the information resources of Ekho Moskvy "for the purposeful placement on a systematic basis of information materials containing false information regarding the nature of the special military operation on the territory of Ukraine, its form, methods of ...- fare, quantitative human losses of the Armed Forces of the Russian Fede- ration, shelling and casualties among the civilian population, as well as containing calls for the organization of mass (public) events on the ter- ritory of the Russian Federation. The RKN recalled that the law provides for liability under Article 13.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses for the publication of such information. Venediktov announced the decision to liquidate "Echo of Moscow" Moscow. March, 3rd. INTERFAX_RU The Board of Directors of "Echo of Moscow" has decided to liquidate the channel and the website of the radio station, said the editor-in-chief of "Echo of Moscow" Alexei Venediktov. The decision was made by a majority vote of the board of directors, Venediktov wrote on his Telegram channel on Thursday. According to him, while the editors have not figured out the essence of the presentation. As Interfax was told in the press service of the Gazprom-Media holding, SD "Echo of Moscow" decided to liquidate the radio channel and the website of "Echo", having considered the order of the Prosecutor General's Office to restrict access to this media. As Venediktov told Interfax, the SD's decision means that broadcasting and the Ekho Moskvy website will not be restored. "We do not know what liqui- dation is. We understand that broadcasting and access to the site will not be restored," he said. "The decision to liquidate was made in just 15 minutes in my absence, I was not even invited to the meeting," he said. The Prosecutor General's Office, in his opinion, did not demand the clo- sure of Echo. "In the submission of the Prosecutor General's Office, it was said that it was necessary to eliminate violations up to the termination of broad- casting, but the termination itself was not mandatory," he said. At the same time, he believes that the decision of the board of directors actually deprives the minority shareholders of ZAO Ekho Moskvy, who own 34% of the company's shares, from ownership. "There are minority shareholders who own a 34% stake in Ekho Moskvy CJSC, by the way, a blocking stake. They are actually deprived of their pro- perty. We will meet with the shareholders and decide what to do with it," Venediktov said. Previously, the radio station's website was blocked in the Russian Fede- ration. The broadcasting of the radio station in Russia was also stopped. On March 1, the Prosecutor General's Office demanded that Roskomnadzor re- strict access to Ekho Moskvy and Dozhd (recognized as a foreign agent in Russia by the media). As explained in the supervisory authority, the re- quest was sent "in connection with the purposeful and systematic placement on the websites of Ekho Moskvy and Dozhd TV channel of information calling for extremist activity, violence, as well as deliberately false infor- mation regarding the actions of Russian military personnel. as part of a special operation to protect the DPR and LPR.

This statement was pub- lished on the company's Twitter account. "We are immediately blocking YouTube channels owned by RT and Sputnik across Europe. It will take time for our systems to be fully operational. Our teams continue to monitor the situation around the clock to take swift action," the statement said. Earlier, Tiktok and Facebook blocked RT and Sputnik accounts in the EU. This means that users of applications in EU countries will not be able to access pages and content in their RT and Sputnik accounts. Earlier in February, RT DE was banned in Germany from broadcasting on all platforms due to its lack of the necessary permission under local media law. The leadership of the RT media holding stated that the German- language channel is licensed in Serbia and therefore its broadcasting is possible on the territory of 33 European countries, including Germany, in accordance with the European Convention on Transfrontier Television. RT DE challenged the decision in court. Russia responded to the blocking of RT DE by stopping the work of the German broadcaster Deutsche Welle in the country.

That said, the NAB explains that the First Amendment "does not prevent private actors from exercising sound, moral judgment." That's why the chief advocacy group for broadcast radio and TV wants any state-sponsored programming with ties to Moscow pulled from U.S. airwaves now. What will operators in Kansas City and Washington, D.C., do? RBR+TVBR heard from one of them, and he's livid with the NAB. Another has placed the association among those responsible for "Cancel Culture" in the U.S. In response to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, NAB President/CEO Curtis LeGeyt seemingly took aim at Sputnik, the English-language service of the Voice of Russia. Sputnik has already noticed, and reacted. On Tuesday, it noted that "Western governments" and internet giants including Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Twitter "have moved to heavily censor Russian foreign-language media outlets over the conflict in Ukraine, blocking websites, shutting down social media pages, and taking radio and television broadcasts off air." Calling the "censorship" unacceptable, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Gavrilov said in a meeting of the Russian Federation Council that, "separately, attention should be paid to the absolutely unacceptable behaviour of foreign, especially American, IT giants such as Google and Meta. Hostile propaganda activities are openly conducted on their social platforms, while Russian sources of information are blocked, and massive restrictions on access to domestic media are put in place." [...]"[G]iven the unprovoked aggression exhibited by Russia against the free and sovereign people of Ukraine, NAB calls on broadcasters to cease carrying any state-sponsored programming with ties to the Russian government or its agents," LeGeyt said. "While we know that airings of such programs are extremely limited, we believe that our nation must stand fully united against misinformation and for freedom and democracy across the globe." Programs aren't extremely limited to those in the Nation's Capital, where Radio Sputnik airs on W288BS, at 105.5 MHz, and originating station WZHF-AM 1390, a directional two-pattern Class B facility first known as Top 40 WEAM. Both WZHF and the FM translator reaches much of greater Washington.

On March 15, 1942, from 19:00 to 20:00 Madrid time, on a frequency of 9860 kHz, the Radio Exterior de España / RNE went on the air for the first time abroad in three languages in the direction of three countries: -for France at 19:00 with call sign "La Voz de España para Francia", - for the UK at 19:15 with the call sign "La Voz de España para Inglaterra", - for Russia at 19:30 with the call sign "La Voz de España para la Division Azul".
