From that moment on, the St. Petersburg audience had the opportunity to receive high-quality radio programs in the Nashe Radio format. The music format of the new radio station for the city on the Neva (Nashe Radio has been broadcasting in Moscow and other cities of Russia since 1998) turned out to be the most popular at the moment and, as research results show, will remain so for a long time. Nashe Radio presents listeners with only high-quality domestic music. Nashe Radio is listened to in St. Petersburg by people with above-average incomes and higher education. In addition, Nashe Radio can boast a high percentage of loyal listeners (about 30%). Such a clearly defined audience composition and the quality of radio programs make Nashe Radio more attractive to advertisers. (https://radio-dialog.ru/) * 12 / July. ------------ Photographer's Day. History of the holiday. The date of the holiday is associated with two events. Firstly, July 12 is the day of honoring the Catholic Saint Veronica - she is considered the patroness of photographers. Secondly, July 12 is the birthday of George Eastman, the founder of Kodak. It was he who made photography popular: he created film and an inexpensive camera so that everyone could take pictures.

This Decree was supposed to testify to the increase in the state-political status of TV and radio broadcasting, while clearly pushing radio into the background. Radio broadcasting in the USSR was carried out at several levels, which were based on the administrative-territorial structure of the country. These levels were: Central (All-Union Radio) radio broadcasting (carried out from Moscow in Russian and covered the entire country), radio broadcasting of the Union republics, radio broadcasting in the territories and regions, autonomous republics, districts, regions and cities. In the corresponding Resolution of the Central Committee of the CPSU of 1970, the main tasks of the reorganized department were formulated as follows: "Propaganda of Marxism-Leninism, decrees and decisions of the CPSU and the Soviet government, mobilization of workers to solve the problems of communist construction, operational information about events in the Soviet Union and abroad, popularization of the best works of foreign literature and art, ensuring the further development of television and radio broadcasting based on the implementation of a unified technical policy and the introduction of the latest achievements of science and technology, advanced experience." (https://radio-dialog.ru/) * 12 / July. -------------- On this day (July 12), exactly 23 years ago, radio "Kuranty" went on air in Moscow on 89.9 FM. Its format changed often. At first it was an information and talk radio, then the focus shifted to music (Russian pop and rock). In early 2004, "Kuranty" played classic rock hits from the 60s - 80s. Thematic news, in particular, religious news, were its calling card. One of the station's directors was Vladimir Bazhin, former lead singer of the rock group "Tyazholy Den". As the audience grew, "Kuranty" became attractive to players in the capital's radio market. At the end of 2004, the radio station changed owners, after which lounge music began to sound here. And in the summer of 2005, the nostalgic radio "Melody" appeared in place of "Kuranty". Subsequently, new formats were often launched on 89.9 FM. After Melodiya, Keks FM appeared in 2007, changing its repertoire twice. In 2015, new owners launched Strana FM, then Radio TV (Your Wave), and on April 22, 2024, Radio Record was broadcast here.

To say goodbye to the legendary enterprise. In the history of the Radio Center, there is... No. Not a comma or an ellipsis. A bold and final point. For three years, the only transmitter never received orders for retransmission from Radio Sputnik. There was only a test, which remained a test. The indifference of the radio company, which was created for broadcasting to foreign countries, as well as the inaction of officials led to the impasse in which the Kuban Radio Center found itself. I will note on my own behalf that until recently foreign customers were interested in the retransmission capabilities of the Kuban enterprise. There was a real opportunity to extend the life of the Radio Center and receive income. But... It is easier for us to break everything and forget. Thanks for the tour of the village, which was conducted by Matvey Gorbanev 1964 - 2025.

It all started with it back in 1964. The following transmitters were located here: ("Burans") - long-wave "RV-444" - 171 kHz (the first one launched at the radio center, ARRT); medium-wave "RV-680" - 1170 kHz (Bolshaya Zarya) and "RV-681" - 1089 kHz (ARRTZ); short-wave ("Bob-2") "RV-682" and "RV-692" (used SGD chains). In different years, there was a different load: 1 program of All-Union Radio, Mayak, Voice of Russia, R-1 (very little in the 90s), Chechnya Svobodnaya, Vesti FM (in 2014 "681st" from spring to winter).

There were shortwave transmitters "Thunder": "RV-683", "RV-684", "RV-687" and "RV-688". The SGD towers were used for broadcasting. (I may be wrong, but it seems like those are shown in the 7th and 8th photos). The program for these transmitters was "Voice of Russia". In recent years, before the complete shutdown in 2020, they broadcast an Adyghe program in the Adyghe language - "Compatriots".

The following transmitters were located here: "PKV-500" ("RV-984" and "RV-985") and "Vyuga-250". The "Vyuga" transmitter was commissioned in August 1991, unfortunately I don't have a photo of it. Antennas: two "SGD 8/8 RA" arrays (one was directed to Africa, the other to the USA), (the "PKV-500" worked with these arrays) and a chain of SGD. This was the foreign broadcasting workshop. Program: Voice of Russia. The last orders were made in the late 00s. Until 2020, these transmitters were run without loading from time to time.

You have faithfully served the Soviet Powerful Radio Broadcasting, and most importantly, the people. Until the very end, we hoped that they would save the remaining transmitter (RV-681) and antenna (ARRTZ). But alas... In the 4th photo - the installation of this very transmitter in the late 80s. Below are the poems that should soon become a song, a song that I dedicated to all former employees of the USSR radio centers: I dream of transmitters. I dream of transmitters with technical stops. Distant youth waves its hand to us. The native "building" and familiar control panels, The schemes that you and I have learned by heart... The feeders are stretched, the antenna height. Here the dawn meets the "Big Dawn" again. "SGD", "ARTZ" - the same views - And "ARRT" stands proudly above the earth. We remember many: thyratron explosions, How we counted the turns - a full turn. And the loud names: "Thunder", "Buran" and "Lightning". Listen, "control" is coming from the speakers again. Shift, night, but it happened! How it all flew by! And we won't see the tables with the modes. The echoing cooling, the glow of the masts in the night, And the quick replacement of the heavy lamps. Look, those pools are making noise with their sprinklers again! Soon the buses will take us home! Technical training is boring, but where can we go? The weekend is like a moment... Sleep, wait, wait!.. The Long, Medium, Short have fallen silent... Powerful broadcasting, forgive us anyway! I dream of transmitters, and with technical stops... And our Radio Center... - was demolished a day ago... 2024-2025 (Matvey Gorbanev, Tbilisskaya, Russia / https://vk.com/wall592518186_78) * Book on the Internet. ------------------------- In Russian.

This is reported by the Moscow publication Kommersant. This should happen on the RTRS.Plus website. Currently, on the RTRS.Plus platform, in addition to the mandatory television and radio channels in the Russian Federation (Channel One, Russia 1, Russia K, Russia 24, NTV; Vesti FM, Mayak, Radio Russia, etc.), 3 all-Russian non-terrestrial TV channels, 24 regional and 6 radio stations are available. Among the latter are Radio Si, NVK (Sverdlovsk Region), Ashkazar, Sputnik FM and Yuldash (Bashkiria), Krasnoyarsk Glavny (Krasnoyarsk Region). Currently, RTRS is "consulting" with potential content providers to form a full-fledged VoD service (video on demand). The service itself is technically only available to users of Smart TV connected to the network, Kommersant writes. "Most likely, TV series will be monetized on the RTRS platform, as the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company did with (its platform) Smotrim," Kommersant quotes an unnamed expert.

The Digital Expertise Center of Roskachestvo told Lenta.ru about this. At the same time, they admitted that it is extremely difficult to identify specific user activity, for example, recording a conversation and sending it. "The most common and most concerning question is that these gadgets "eavesdrop" and transmit all user conversations. Indeed, the speaker is in constant listening mode, waiting for an activation phrase (for example, "Alice", "Marusya"). However, it would be wrong to claim that it records and transmits all conversations," the organization concluded. The device does not interact with the server as often as one might assume, they added. Typically, network identifiers are sent to ensure that the network is sure that the device is working properly and that there is a connection.

After all, the sound track is practically a file the length of .... Let's count! The length of one turn of the sound track, at the beginning of the disc is 91 cm., and at the end of the disc already only 37 cm. We calculate the average length of the turn: (91 + 37) / 2 = 64 cm. The duration of one side of the record is about 22 minutes, multiplied by the number of revolutions: 33.1/3 x 22 = 733 revolutions the record makes during the time one side is playing. 733 x 0.64 = 469 meters is the length of the sound track on one side of the record. So it turns out that the record is a file 469 meters long.

The Soviet government assessed the radio airwaves from the point of view of propaganda, so in 1921 the Radiotelegraph Agency (ROSTA, or later "Radio Committee") was created, thus the beginning of radio broadcasting. But radio receivers that receive a signal "over the air" were too expensive - it was decided to develop wired broadcasting. In 1922, the Moscow radiotelephone station appeared and the first radio broadcasts appeared. And in 1925, radio nodes began to appear in Leningrad - they transmitted signals via wires to homes and institutions.

It was first broadcast in 1989. The idea for such a program was invented by the famous host and director Kira Proshutinskaya. According to her, "Press Club" was a kind of alternative to news programs. The program was, in fact, a real TV club where representatives of the press met and communicated. The project was produced by Proshutinskaya's husband Anatoly Malkin. Unfortunately, the creators of the program had to wait a whole year for the program to finally go on air.

STORY. ======================== - Portable transistor radio "Selga". ------------------------------------------------------------- Since 1963, it was produced by the Riga Radio Plant named after A.S. Popov. The original design is shown in the first photos, since 1964 the design was already familiar. The receiver was exported to a number of countries, so the inscriptions on the scale and on the back wall were in Russian or English, a version with the name "Convair" is known, see the last three photos. In the USSR, both versions were on sale. There were also differences in the design of the scale, where instead of the inscription ''7 transistor'' there was the logo of the plant ''RRR''. Receivers of the 2 design options were produced in a wide range of colors in various combinations of the colors of the case and the back cover. The cover was white or light green, and the case could be black, blue, red. In 1967, the radio receiver was produced with a plate "50 years of the Great October Revolution", in 1970 with a plate "V.I. Lenin is 100 years old". The radio receiver ''Selga'' (Selga in translation from Latvian - open sea) is designed for radio reception in the LW and MW ranges.

Popov. ''Selga-2'' is the first domestic radio receiver in which silicon transistors were used. The receiver is designed to receive radio stations in the LW and MW ranges. Reception is carried out on an internal magnetic antenna, there are jacks for connecting an external antenna and a miniature telephone. The receiver is placed in a leather case. The circuit diagram and design make it possible to use integrated circuits in the future.

Its appearance was due to the rapid spread of video equipment in the West. The Japanese model "Panasonic NV-2000" of 1981 was taken as a basis. Historians of technology are still arguing whether an official license was purchased from Matsushita (owner of the Panasonic brand) or whether Soviet specialists independently reproduced the design.

The project aims to modernise the nation's broadcasting infrastructure. The structures, inspired by Istanbul's Çamlıca Tower, will be built in Ankara, Izmir, Adana, Konya and other major cities. These structures will replace outdated, disparate antenna complexes, centralising analogue and digital broadcasting. Turkish Transport and Infrastructure Minister Abdulkadir Uraloğlu said the new towers will increase energy efficiency by more than 10 times. The project is also intended to eliminate "visual pollution" from city landscapes and provide safer emissions for residents. The towers will feature "modern, architecturally integrated silhouettes" similar to Çamlıca Tower, which is capable of simultaneously broadcasting 100 high-quality TV and radio channels without mutual interference.
