Federal Tender commission Roskomnadzor on April 29 will play the regular rate for ground-air broadcasting, the agency reported on Friday, February 27th. As a rule, such contests are set free frequencies in the regions, but this time on one of the eleven contests featured in Moscow and frequency - 105 MHz. That is the first time since 2007, will once again be able to start broadcasting played in the capital. Until now, it was thought that the last available FM-frequency in Moscow were distributed eight years ago. Then, in April 2007, competitions have been exposed to four frequencies: 96,8 FM (for children and youth with broadcasting frequencies in 21 regions), 99,2 FM (classical music), 93,6 FM (under the student radio ) and 96 FM (radio travel). Those competitions caused a stir: for each of the frequencies accumulated from eight to 17 applicants. As a result of holding "Gazprom-Media" won the pool of frequencies for children and youth broadcasting, which has launched a non- profit "Children's Radio". The frequency of the classical music went public "Radio Orpheus" and a student radio - PH "Kommersant", which first launched a music station "Newton FM", and then was able to renew a license under the "Kommersant FM". Finally, the rate was 96 FM businessman Oleg Chamina. He created it on the radio "Voyage FM", but in 2010 sold the frequency of the St. Petersburg "Road Radio", now part of the European media group ("Europe Plus", "Retro FM", "Radio 7", "Sport FM" and others. ). Inability to obtain new frequencies in Moscow provoked an increase in prices for existing ones. "Prices [on FM- frequency] overstated. Now for the station has already paid more than in New York. But the capacity of the local market does not correspond to the American "- complained in 2008 in an interview with the magazine" Advertising Industry "Sergey Kozhevnikov, president of the Russian Media Group (" Russian Radio ", Maximum, DFM, etc.). The market value of the capital's FM-frequency reaches now $ 8.10 million. It is for this price were all the latest deals in Moscow. For example, in 2013 the investment company "Finam" sold its station "Finam FM" Mikhail Gutseriev that its frequency has launched "Capital FM". Last year, an autonomous non-profit organization "Faith, Hope and Charity" purchased from Helena Uvarovoy station "Radio Classic" and "Radio Jazz". On the frequency of the first and then was launched Orthodox radio "Faith" and the second station then was resold Senator from the Kursk region Vitaly Bogdanov (also owns "Our radio", Best FM, Rock FM et al.). For comparison: FM-frequency in other cities over one million people are estimated to total $ 1 million, in cities with a population of 500 thousand. People - $ 500-700 thousand. The overall cost of radio advertising in 2014 reached, according to the Association of Communication Agencies of Russia, 16.9 billion rubles. VAT (about US $ 438 million). Of these, the capital, and online advertising (when the same video broadcast in all the cities of broadcasting) had 8.7 billion rubles. ($ 225 million), the regional - 8.2 billion rubles. ($ 210 million). But more than 50 broadcasting stations in Moscow today is considered to be commercially successful only ten most popular. "Theoretically interest [as an object for purchase] represent the radio out of the top 10. This station with a specific scope, with the audience, which can be commercialized - told in an interview with "Kommersant" in April 2014, the President of the European media group Catherine Tikhomirov. - Audience size is a major factor in the profitability of the station. " To run at a frequency of 105 FM in Moscow, another station will have to "move" the existing English-language Moscow FM (owned by the metropolitan government) from 105.2 to 105,3 FM, follows from the Roskomnadzora. These costs should take the winner. It would also have to take over all coordination with the Federal Security Service and the Federal Security Service, as well as to carry out the so-called full-scale tests of frequency.

The fact that Russia may appear like a literary radio, Presidential Adviser on Culture Vladimir Tolstoy told Interfax in mid- February. "There will be a short literary forms," - said then Tolstoy, adding that "now being sought frequencies." Finance the project will be private investors, said presidential adviser.

CLONE TWITTER ACCOUNTS TARGET RFE/RL By RFE/RL February 17, 2015 http://www.rferl.org/content/clone-twitter-accounts-target-rferl/26853959.html Imitation, they say, is the sincerest form of flattery. But it can also be an insidious form of disinformation. On February 9, a clone account appeared on Twitter that mimics the account of RFE/RL's Russian-language service Radio Svoboda, using nearly identical graphics and a very similar account name. The account name misspells the Russian word "svoboda" as "svoboba." The profile box of the fake account reads, in Russian, "Free news on Radio Liberty. We change your motherland into our sneakers." It then gives two purported "contact numbers" which are actually the public lines to Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service. A few days earlier, a similar clone account appeared that mimics the account of the Russian-language service of Voice of America (VOA). That account encourages "those who wish to report on the movements of the armed forces of the Russian Federation" to call a number that turns out to be the reception line for the Federal Security Service (FSB). In this case, the account name is "Colos Ameriki" instead of the Russian for Voice of America, which is Golos Ameriki. Few Followers The fakes are off to a slow start, with the fake VOA account collecting only 33 followers so far and the fake Radio Liberty account mustering only three fans. The real VOA Russian Service account has more than 188,000 followers, while the genuine RFE/RL Russian Service account has 108,000. However, both fake accounts are tweeting a deceptive mixture of plausible tweets (with links back to real material on the sites of the Russian services of RFE/RL and VOA) and implausible ones with links to unprofessional pro-Russian propaganda sites spreading disinformation about the conflict in Ukraine and other issues. In at least one case, a tweet from the fake RFE/RL account was used in a Russian-media story and passed off as information from RFE/RL's Russian Service. Such deception is very likely the main purpose of the fake accounts. Peter Pomerantsev, a former Russian television producer who has written a report on "how the Kremlin weaponizes information," told The New York Times on February 13 that the tactics the Kremlin and its supporters have developed are "not so much an information war, but a war on information." The management of RFE/RL has complained to Twitter about the unauthorized use of its intellectual property.
