Television and Radio Broadcasting". ------------------------------------------ "Broadcasting. Television and Radio Broadcasting" is a magazine for professionals of electronic mass media, presents new equipment and technologies in the field of television and radio broadcasting; covers the most significant events and activities of the industry; contains practical materials on already implemented projects in the industry. Published by Grotek LLC from 1999 to 2019. Archive Russian 2003-2018. http://lib.broadcasting.ru/articles2/allpubliks (Internet) - Political radio through the prism of history Part 1 From the section: Humanitarian technologies Published: Magazine "Broadcasting. Television and radio broadcasting" #2, 2008, pp. 67-68 Part 1 Alexander Sharikov Professor of the Higher School of Economics Recently, the book "Radio journalist and politics" was published in the series "Master class of the radio station "Mayak", published by "AspectPress". We offer you one of the chapters of this book, in which the author for the first time presents the military and political interests of countries as the engine of the formation and development of world radio broadcasting. "Walking" through the Russian radio airwaves of the early 21st century, it is difficult to imagine that such a complacent media outlet as radio, which the majority of the population, especially the young, perceives as just a pleasant musical background, throughout almost its entire history has been associated with politics and military affairs, has acted and continues to act as a powerful psychological weapon in the hands of politicians, propagandists and political strategists. The goal here is not to paint a detailed picture of the development of socio-political radio broadcasting (we will agree to call it "political radio" in the future), the main thing is to outline its main stages and demonstrate how, at various historical periods, the fate of radio was intertwined with politics, domestic and foreign, in our country and abroad.

"The history of the creation of the radio station was born when we had the Konovalovo Hotel. We paid a lot of money for advertising, and I thought, why are we paying other radio stations when we can open our own. I submitted documents for registration, but then we had unforeseen circumstances with this hotel. The hotel is no longer there, but the radio project remained," Duev added. Today is the final stage: installation and adjustment of equipment. "We plan to broadcast local news on the radio. First, we will have a test broadcast, there will be music playing. Then we want to come to an agreement with the local administration and receive the latest news from the district, voice social topics, the weather. And in the future, so that it doesn't get boring, because there is a lot of music, I want to sign a contract with Gazprom-Media. I am already negotiating with them to give the remaining time to Comedy Radio," the editor-in-chief concluded. You can listen to music on the Shakhovskaya radio station in the coming days.

The first rubber ducky appeared in the early 80s of the 19th century. They were produced for small children so that they could chew on something cute and safe. The first rubber ducky for the bath appeared in the first half of the 20th century. After 1949, more than 50 million rubber ducky for the bath were sold. Although frogs, fish and even beavers were released for water games, the ducky remained popular. It had a smooth texture and developed coordination in children. In the collage. Bathroom radio "Duck". Designed for use in the bathroom. The design of the receiver is stylized as a well-known children's toy - a duckling swimming in the bath. The radio will serve you well in difficult times - after all, children don't like to wash themselves. This process turns into natural scandals and hysterics. With a new toy, you can perfectly distract your baby from unpleasant associations associated with washing. It is enough to show him the new toy in advance, tune in cheerful music on the radio, or even better, a radio program for children. When the child gets used to the new duck, even such an unloved washing of the head with shampoo will not cause so much negativity in the baby. A visit to the bathroom will become a holiday for the baby, because his favorite black duckling is waiting for him. And after the bath, you can read to the child the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen "The Ugly Duckling". (Ruslan Slavutskiy, Moskovskaya oblast, Russia).

Along with the books of Viktor Gavrilovich Borisov (Young Radio Amateur), the works of Rudolf Anatolyevich have become classics. A combination of theory and practice, a large selection of schemes for repetition. However, anyone who has ever opened the author's books will understand what I'm talking about. A relatively fresh edition of the book "Electronics Step by Step" came into my collection. Rudolf Svoren passed away in 2018. The book was adapted for the new edition by electronic engineer Yuri Revich. Now this will be purely my author's opinion, which may not coincide with anyone else's.

No desktop could do without them. In addition to their main function, these calendars served as an assistant-secretary, storing important information on their pages. Here, for example, is Yuri Gagarin's desk flip calendar. As time went on, the inquisitive mind of the designer came up with various mechanical replacements for the disposable paper flip calendar.

He turned it on, but there was nothing to listen to. Apparently, under the indelible impression of this joke, they later drew a portrait of Alexander Stepanovich Popov, with the radio receiver he invented. To avoid such annoying misconceptions in the future, I would like to remind you once again: the radio receiver invented by Popov decoded only "0" (the bell is silent) and "1" (the bell rings) from the received signal. In fact, this is the first digital radio receiver. Therefore, Popov soon attached a telegraph apparatus to it, recording the received radio signal. A telegram transmitted in Morse code An analog radio transmitter and radio receiver were invented five years later. In 1900, Canadian-born American inventor Reginald Aubrey Fessenden conducted an experiment to transmit voice over the airwaves.

Not long ago, I was approached by radio "Zvezda" - they asked me to cover one of the interesting topics, namely, in what form the Internet existed in the USSR. I decided to write a separate article - thanks for reading and likes! Modern life is no longer possible without the Internet - almost everything works with its help. Even a banal landline phone will not work if the Internet is disconnected in the city, since all automatic telephone exchanges use only this communication channel. Attempts to create such a system have been made by major powers since about the 60s, when electronic computers (EVM) became popular. If in the USA the prototype of the modern Internet ARPANET appeared in 1969, then in the USSR similar ideas began to be discussed at about the same time.

This follows from the data on the Fedresurs website. The message says that the company notifies all interested parties and announces its intention to apply to the Moscow Arbitration Court with a statement on declaring the company bankrupt. In the spring of 2022, against the backdrop of the start of a special operation in Ukraine and the introduction of sanctions against the Russian Federation, Microsoft began to reduce its business in Russia. During 2022, Microsoft Rus laid off almost all employees and terminated the current lease agreement. In September 2024, Microsoft restricted access to some subscriptions in Russia. This decision was made in connection with the US sanctions that came into force on September 12.

Such a trail acts as a mirror for VHF radio waves (87.5-108 MHz). Due to this, within a few seconds, a signal from distant radio stations, whose signal usually does not reach you due to the curvature of the Earth, suddenly appears on your radio receiver. This reflection is the "radio trail" of the meteor. Details in Russian: https://swling.ru/2025/06/05/прием-fm-продиостанции-с-помощью-отражен/ (https://swling.ru/) * Old books.

The question of why the terms AM and FM were not used in the USSR, and other designations were used instead, is connected with the peculiarities of the development of radio broadcasting, technical standards and ideological aspects of the Soviet era. To understand this, it is necessary to consider the history of radio broadcasting in the USSR, the technical differences between modulation systems, as well as the political and economic factors that influenced the terminology.

(https://rmg.ru/) * China --------- 100-year history of Chinese radios from the Shanghai Museum. You all know about the dominance of Chinese consumer electronics in our country, and not only in our country, they successfully penetrated the USA, Europe and even Japan, becoming the world's largest manufacturer of consumer electronics and electronic components. And today I will tell you where it all began. And it all began with radios, which went from a luxury item to a necessity, and then a collectible. They are also a living example of the development of electronic technologies, which went through four stages of evolution: - crystal radios - tube radios - transistor radios - integrated circuit radios The Chinese radio and radio industry originated in Shanghai. Today, there are more than 50,000 electronics manufacturing enterprises in mainland China, and the production capacity of printed circuit boards is more than 50% of the world's total, making it the leader in printed circuit board production. We must give credit to the Chinese; they have always encouraged children's technical creativity.

The website address on the Internet remains the same, the content and filling will be changed, so listeners will have to get used to the website again. The first week will be spent testing the new website, and the station will gratefully accept comments. (The "Mailbox" program of the Russian service of Taiwan Radio International.

The announcement is expected this year, and the Galaxy S26, which will be released in the first half of 2026, may get Perplexity as the default assistant. If this happens, such a move will greatly weaken the 15-year-old tie of the Android flagship to Google search. This news is especially interesting for Russian consumers, since Perplexity is available in Russia without territorial restrictions and the need to change the IP address. Therefore, devices with this assistant will be more convenient than, for example, with Gemini, whose app is constantly automatically disabled.

Well, when the question concerns the year of release of the tape recorder, then here we are all "floating". To refresh your memory, I suggest going through the new products of 1975. Why did I choose this year? In my opinion, this is just the beginning of the mass popularity of cassette tape recorders. Almost a "landmark" year. However, if readers are interested, we can go through earlier years.

Today we'll get acquainted with the latest products from the Japanese radio industry in the field of cassette tape recorders in 1977. As always, we'll start with the flagships of the mass segment. First up are the new products from Panasonic, which then sold equipment under the National brand.

By JANIQUA ROBINSON American Forces Network will officially launch FM radio service at Sasebo Naval Base on Wednesday, becoming the first AFN station in Japan outside Okinawa to broadcast on the frequency. The debut of 93.1 FM follows a three-month test run under Japanese regulatory oversight. The FM signal will carry the station's existing programming, including live morning and afternoon shows, local traffic, weather updates, Top 40 music from the United States, and features from other AFN stations in Iwakuni, Tokyo, Okinawa and Misawa. The 1575 AM signal reaches only the base, station manager Chief Petty Officer Chris Liaghat said by phone May 16. The FM upgrade follows the installation of a new radio tower to replace three temporary antennas.
