In their collective letter, they noted that the collapse of the advertising market puts broadcasters in the regions on the verge of bankruptcy. Hundreds of radio stations could close soon. Thousands of people will be left without work, and millions of listeners without accessible and familiar radio. "The main income of regional radio broadcasters is advertising revenue. According to experts, the fall of the advertising market may be about 90 percent. The main expenses are payments to telecom operators (including monopoly state-owned companies), collectors of royalties (RAO, VOIS), payments to federal radio broadcasters," said Maxim Vasilenko, CEO of M10 Media holding. As government support measures, among other things, radio workers list several more tools that, in their opinion, will help the industry stay afloat, among them: tax easing, direct support, subsidizing the purchase of domestic software and equipment. Maxim Vasilenko also added that the prompt adoption of state support measures at the suggestion of the professional community can not only support regional broadcasters, but also save the entire industry from extinction.

Vatican Radio increases shortwave broadcasts to Ukraine and Russia From next Monday the Pope's radio station will expand its Ukrainian and Russian programmes. The increase of shortwave frequencies aims to empower the Radio's outreach in its mission to communicate the Gospel message and to "read" current events through this perspective. By Vatican News From Monday, 21 March, Vatican Radio will increase its shortwave broadcasts to Ukraine and Russia. In addition to the two daily broadcasts (afternoon and evening) in the two languages, the morning programmes to Moscow and Kyiv will last twenty minutes longer. "The decision," Massimiliano Menichetti, head of Vatican Radio Vatican News explains, "was taken with the agreement of the entire management team of the Dicastery for Communication, at this time when war is raging, in order to better respond to our mission: to bring hope, the Pope's words and the reading of facts through the light of the Gospel to the whole world." In these past weeks, he added, thanks to a network of direct contacts that support the work of our reporters, we are trying to give comfort to those who are suffering and to ensure timely information. The frequencies of Vatican Radio, the pages and posts of Vatican News in 51 languages (including English and Italian in sign language) aim to not leave anyone alone, even in the awareness of the power of prayer".

Events dedicated to this event were held in the Krasnoturyinsky Museum of Local Lore. At noon, museum workers, headed by director Yuri Gunger, laid flowers at the monument to the inventor of the radio. In the Memorial Museum of A.S. Popov hosted an Open Doors Day, the program of which included a number of costumed excursions. A visit to the Popov Museum for all citizens on this significant day was free. "Such memorable dates are important for all of us, and above all for people like us, for the younger generation, who should be proud and remember the achievements of outstanding personalities of their country, their homeland, and take an example from them," says student Alexander Gilmanov. - After all, our fellow countryman Popov literally from the son of a priest, a simple boy born in the Turinskiye Rudniki, grew into a world-class scientist. By tradition, on March 16, events dedicated to the birthday of A.S. Popov, who made a world discovery. Text and photo by Olga Ziemens, methodologist of the Krasnoturyinsky Museum of Local Lore.

Like FM is a brand-trendsetter that skillfully combines traditional broadcasting and high technology. For example, during the pandemic, for the first time in the history of Russian radio, Alisa, the voice assistant of Yandex, worked on the air with artificial intelligence. Here comes the unique Trend Chart, which allows you to look into the future of the music industry and hear compositions today that are sure to become hits in the future. And the stake is primarily on domestic performers. It was Like FM that opened to a wide audience such names as Aljay, Jah Khalib, HammAli & Navai, etc. The radio station cooperates with the main digital platforms and uses innovative approaches when programming the air. Listeners form the playlist themselves by liking tracks in the mobile app, on the website likefm.ru and in official accounts, in addition, Like FM plays more hits in the same period of time than any other radio (only the best fragments of songs are broadcast). Like FM is also successfully developing its own federal network. Its formation began in December 2020, and today the radio station can already be heard in Krasnoyarsk (95.0 FM), Ryazan (103.2 FM), Bryansk (100.3 FM), Orekhovo- Zuevo near Moscow (92.6 FM), Velikiye Luki (91.5 FM), St. Petersburg (104.8 FM) and Kostroma (89.7 FM). All this allows Like FM to remain a favorite radio station among listeners and in demand among advertisers, and its successes and achievements always find a response and recognition from the professional community, which is confirmed by the golden microphones of the Radiomania national award, the main award in the field of radio broadcasting in Russia. There are already four of them in the piggy bank of the radio station. More information - on the official website likefm.ru.

Foreign broadcasting of Chile, including in Russian. ------------------------------- On February 12, 1974, in Santiago de Chile, broadcasting was opened on CB-1140 kHz of the public radio station Radio Nacional de Chile, at the same time, its foreign service La Voz de Chile / Voice of Chile was launched in test mode on HF, which began in March 1974 regular broadcasts in 7 languages (Spanish, English, Arabic, Russian, German, Italian, French). The duration of the broadcasts in all languages was 15 minutes and sometimes varied up to 20 minutes due to jingles or music. At first, the transmissions were broadcast within three consecutive blocks / "cycles" at constant frequencies 6190, 9510, 15150 kHz: 1 block 20:30-23:30UTC, 2 and 3 blocks 23:30-5:00UTC. Then after "modification" of the transmitting center in Calera de Tango (30 km. from Santiago) in order to better reach the signal of Europe, the USSR and the Middle East, made in 1977, the broadcasting grid was changed. Broadcasting became round-the-clock, multi-frequency and directed, and the duration of all programs was set to 30 minutes. As a result, the station became more accessible in Europe, especially given the period of greatest solar activity in 1977-80. Programs in Russian began to appear 7 times during the day, one program was repeated for different regions - America, Europe, Siberia / Far East. Here is a printout of the beginning of one of the broadcasts in August 1978. "You hear the Voice of Chile on 16,19,25,31 and 49 meters in Arabic, English, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian and French. /jingle/ From Santiago de Chile begins the transmission of the Voice of Chile in Russian. /jingle/ or You are listening to the Voice of Chile for Russian speaking nations. /jingle/ Welcome to The Voice of Chile! Today we will talk about political relations with Chile, about the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia 10 years ago, and about the persecution of dissidents in the Soviet Union. Before that, listen to Chilean music." The Spanish Wikipedia lists 6 more languages of the Voice of Chile broadcasting (Greek, Portuguese, Croatian, Polish, Hebrew, Japanese), but I have never heard them and they were not mentioned in Russian screensavers. Multilingual broadcasting of the Voice of Chile, including in Russian, was discontinued in 1980, but the station continued to broadcast HF until 1990 in Spanish as Radio Nacional de Chile. After 6 years, the transmitting center in Calera de Tango was sold in August 1996 to the Christian mission CVC La Voz for broadcasting in Spanish with the call sign Voz Cristiana, which continued until 08/17/2012, after which the equipment of the transmitting center was permanently disconnected.

"We quickly raised enough money from our online appeal to start funding transmissions on Tuesday to the region from a private FCC-licensed shortwave station in Florida and from Monday, March 14th, we will expand broadcasts from commercial stations outside the United States," said Kate Neiswender, a California lawyer and spokesperson for the campaign. [ https://fundrazr.com/radiowaves ] Shortwaves for Freedom, with now more than a total of $10,000 in contributions from individual donors in the United States, Canada and other countries, is paying commercial broadcasters to air transmissions of the Russian and English language programs of VOA and RFE/RL. It plans to also fund Ukrainian language programs soon to reach Ukrainians, many now without electricity in their own country, as well as those who have taken refuge in Moldova, Poland and other countries. The unprecedented campaign is not affiliated with VOA and RFE/RL or their parent organization, the United States Agency for Global Media. "We hope USAGM will realize the dire need for radio broadcasts at a time of war when millions of people have been cut off from the internet and credible TV news due to censorship by Russia, the destruction of infrastructure and their homes," said Neiswender. "Until the U.S. government decides to adequately return to radio - both shortwave and mediumwave (known as 'AM radio') - we will fund transmissions as long as we have money." The additional transmitters to be utilized from Monday "will put a stronger shortwave signal into the target region and add medium wave," said Gerhard Straub, the former director of USAGM's Broadcast Technologies Division, who is among those providing expert advice to Shortwaves for Freedom. ... Reception of the initial broadcasts from Florida have been confirmed in the targeted countries. The initial broadcasts that commenced over the past week will continue from WRMI (Radio Miami International), utilizing 100,000-watt transmitters beaming to Eastern Europe.

This happened after the installation of a new radio antenna on its top. It weighs about 350 kg and cost the treasury one million euros, according to the attraction's Twitter account. The device is expected to improve signal transmission for digital radio as well as complement existing transmitters. In addition, the antenna will allow broadcasting about 30 TV channels and 32 radio stations for 12 million inhabitants of the French metropolis.
