Often the so-called "phonetic alphabets" are actually orthographic alphabets and have no connection with phonetic transcription systems like the "International Phonetic Alphabet". Instead, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) alphabet assigns code words acrophonically to letters in the English alphabet (Alpha for A, Bravo for B, etc.) so that critical combinations of letters and numbers can be spoken and understood by those who receive and transmit voice messages by radio or telephone, regardless of their native language. This is especially important in traffic control, where people may be in danger due to a distorted understanding of the transmitted information.

This was reported in the press service of the administration of the Krasnodar Territory. Earlier, on the website of the Legislative Assembly of the Krasnodar Territory, a bill on a forecast plan for the privatization of the region's property was posted. The document noted that the privatization of the company is scheduled for 2023-2025. "The privatization of the NTK television and radio company subordinate to the department is connected exclusively with the requirements of federal legislation on the liquidation of unitary enterprises in competitive areas by January 1, 2025. In order for the largest media holding in the region to continue functioning, we need to change its organizational and legal form from a unitary enterprise to a business entity," commented Galina Zhukova, head of the regional information policy department. She stressed that the enterprise will continue to remain 100% state-owned.

At the beginning of 2019, users of smart speakers had the opportunity to listen to traditional live radio by simply voicing the name of the radio station to the voice assistant or indicating the desired frequency and city. And as a result, the smart speaker turned from a "competitor" for radio stations into another means of delivering its signal. As a result, according to open data from M.Video-Eldorado, a Russian company in the field of electronics and household appliances, sales of smart speakers increased by 70% last year. Experience of the radio "Sputnik FM - Ufimskaya wave" Rosa Tukhbatova, editor-in-chief of Sputnik FM, says: "Our radio station is present in Alice, Marus and industrial radio player. Trying to understand whether they listen to us in smart speakers and how many such listeners, we decided to conduct a mini-survey in VK. As a result, we found out that: - currently, 8% of the station's audience listen to us using smart speakers. - for the last year the growth was 2%. - about 50% listen in cars. - about 30% listen using traditional receivers. - about 30% listen using computers or smartphones. - the largest number of those who consume radio air through smart speakers are women. They are almost twice as likely to use speakers to listen to the radio."

The regulator said in a statement that the Lithuanian broadcaster should operate on the same frequency so that Lithuanian residents hear its programs, and not Sputnik. The content of the radio station, according to the council, could allegedly pose a threat to public order and the security of the republic, TASS reports (https://tass.ru/). According to the deputy chairman of the department, Darius Kulesius, the regulator will issue a license to broadcast on the frequency at which the Russian radio station broadcasting in the Kaliningrad region is caught by residents of the Klaipeda region. He called the dissemination of information by radio station Sputnik "illegal". (PRO_FM - Telegram) WEB RADIO AND TV IN RUSSIAN ============================== Russia.

The fact is that in those days, I. Ugolnikov, V. Pelsh, E. Voskresensky and A. Kortnev periodically arranged humorous evenings on the site of the House of Actors. One of these events was attended by Anatoly Malkin, who was the founder of the ATV television company. It was he who suggested that they do these skits on television, which soon happened. The authors and directors were I. Ugolnikov, A. Kortnev and S. Denisov. They also handled the scenarios. But over time, only Ugolnikov remained. Several people were broadcasting, including S. Ginzburg and N. Fomenko. Detail in Russian + photo: https://tv-80.ru/yumoristicheskie/oba-na/ (https://tv-80.ru/) RADIO ENGINEERING.
