This was reported on the website of "Echo of Moscow". News block "Echo of Moscow" in St. Petersburg came at 18:00 on Monday. In mid-February 2015 the chief editor of "Echo of Moscow" Alexei Venediktov announced that from March 17 the radio terminates the contract with the company "Music factory", which was engaged in broadcasting radio station in St. Petersburg. The reason was the conflict with minority shareholders Majority Shareholders: last decided to appoint a General Director - Tatiana Kaglyak (which owns 49% of shares of "Music Factor"). "Gazprom-Media" (controls the "Echo of Moscow") proposed for the post election - Anna Sakharov. As a result, he was elected Tatiana Kaglyak. March 13 "Echo of Moscow" has sent a notice of termination Roskomnadzor from 17 March agreement between the radio station and the company "Music factory".

June 22 Roskomnadzor suspended the license of "Music factory". Broadcast radio station "Echo of Petersburg" was suspended on June 9. rbc.ru (OnAir.ru) Samarskaya oblast. Tolyatti. ------------------------------------------- VHF. How does the broadcasting market in Togliatti. In 1991, the owners of the radio station KLSK FM in an American town Albuquerque decided to change the format to classic rock - in connection with the 24 consecutive hours on the air non-stop song sounded Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven". At the request of anxious listeners to a radio station twice traveled the police. One person felt that the DJ apparently was a heart attack, and the other - that radio captured terrorists, as a fan of Led Zeppelin was Saddam Hussein. Last week, the "Monday" understood the structure of the broadcasting Togliatti why companies are winning singles and no vote is not enough for our city. Under one wing If in 90 years in Togliatti operated only three radio stations that broadcast and rebroadcast the capital engaged in the placement of local advertising, now they number more than 20. Most large players in the market - holding "Togliatti Media Gallery", which brings together seven radio stations, and branch "of the European media group" in Togliatti, he owns five stations and another one will be launched in the following year ("Radio 7 on the seven hills"). In addition, the franchise in our city broadcasts "Autoradio Togliatti" is a local brand of radio "August", broadcasting DFM, which is owned broadcasting company "TERRA" and the association "Radio Dacha" with the wave of 106.9. According to market participants, in regions far more profitable to work as part of media holdings, as in this case, the advertiser can offer the different audiences to promote its goods and services. "This is especially true in times of crisis, when advertisers began selectivity for radio stations and realize that do not pay for a minute of airtime, and for the attention of their target audience. For example, the "Russian Radio" and "Humor FM" have a family orientation, "Record" and "Love" focused on the youth segment, "Echo" and "Lighthouse" - speaking radio stations for a more adult audience, "- says program director of the holding company "Togliatti Media Gallery" Valentin Romanov. The cost of advertising depends on many factors, including the rating of the station, time-to infomercial, total advertising campaign. On average, in the city, it varies from 10 to 25 rubles per second. Radiyschiki say that the most difficult now sells advertising on niche radio stations, such as the "Children's Radio". Staff shortages Depending on the timing of the licensing of local inserts that go on radio stations of the holding "Media Gallery Togliatti" ("Russian radio", "Humor FM", "Record", "Love", "Echo", "Mayak", " Children's Radio "), ranging from 14 to 35 hours per week. It's like a newscast and "Table of orders" and opinion programs. However, the sound of virtually all local inserts markedly inferior in terms of quality federal esters. Director of "European media group" in Togliatti Alexei Vorobyov said that this is not due to the quality of the equipment, because the studios are almost Togliatti same technique as the leading Moscow station. Experts believe the radio station 106.9 FM, that the root of the problem - the personnel shortage. "The main criteria for lead - literacy, good speech, a broad outlook, awareness of life in the city, country and the world, knowledge and interests of the audience more. As corny as it may sound, but the more of these qualities in a person, the more interesting to listen to him. Are there many such people around us? If you are familiar with them, please send them to work on the radio. Even Moscow lacks the ordinary person, to say nothing of Togliatti, "- said the staff 106.9 FM. The remaining radiyschiki support this view numerous stories about special cases that occur during the Tolyatti esters. "The most innocuous, that sometimes happens - leading not had time to prepare for the airwaves, and voiced the opposite to the real forecast. Sometimes he forgets to turn off the microphone for the duration of the song and begins to tell the whole city about personal problems, generously seasoned his speech taboo vocabulary. In short, and laughter, and a sin "- says experienced leading radio" August. " Ghostly figure For several years in the country there is a discussion of the market through the transition of Russian radio stations on the European digital broadcast standard. Digital broadcasting scheduled to begin simultaneously with the TV back in 2009, but the process was postponed due to lack of uniform standards and uneconomical. "We must understand that it is above all very expensive: according to experts, we are talking about investing billions of rubles, which will be required to replace the entire fleet and the construction of new radio transmitters transmitting the centers where there is no possibility to place transmitters on existing ones. Furthermore, it is necessary to replace all the radios, including those used in cars. So traditional broadcasting will live happily ever after. As for content, then with the launch of digital broadcasting, in fact, it will only change the method of delivery of the signal, and radio production process remains the same. The only possible emergence of more niche stations, because digital technology allows radio stations to fit 8-12 is a piece of the radio frequency spectrum, where previously only one broadcast station, "- says Director of" European media group "in Togliatti Alexei Vorobyov. Director of the "Media Gallery Togliatti" Valentin Romanov support a colleague and notes that digital broadcasting will enable a better sound quality, but the popularity of radio stations is, of course, will not change, because the main component of success - the content of which is filled with air.

GEORGIA SHIFTS TO DIGITAL BROADCASTING http://georgiatoday.ge/news/482/Georgia-Shifts-to-Digital-Broadcasting Natia Mikeladze, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development reported that the regions of Tbilisi, Sagarejo, Kojori, Marneuli and Rustavi have shifted to digital broadcasting as of July 1, adding that the remaining regions will shift to the new system by August 25th. According to Mikeladze, the government has initiated and the Ministry carried out the amendment to the Law on Broadcasting on June 17 of this year, which cancels the licensing system for TV stations and allows them to implement their activities through simple authentication. She also noted that, until now, the law was tailored to the specifications of analogue broadcasting, as broadcasting in general was related to the usage of drain resources which made the issuing of a license a rather complicated procedure. "Now, the owner of the drain resources and the broadcaster are two different organizations and a channel doesn't need to undergo those difficult procedures to obtain a license; it can authorize itself at the National Communications Commission," she explained. Additionally, within the framework of the reform, the Ministry plans on returning the pre-paid licence fee to 30 channels in proportion of the time left till the expiration of the licence. More than 1 million Lari will be returned to the following channels: Guria, Kavkasia, Tanamgzavri, Meckhre Talga, 25 Telearkhi, Imervizia, Dia, Imepria, Kvetenadze and Company LTD, Kvemo Kartli Telecompany, Argo, Ekomi, Borjomi, Zari, Trialeti, Odishi, Imega, Tvali, Rioni, Mega TV, Piki, Evrika, Pirveli Stereo, Tbilisi, GDS, Iberia TV, Teleimedi, Rustavi 2, Civic Education Foundation and the Media Center for Open Abkhazia.

My thoughts on strange sign-on procedure in 1155-1200 UT short program audio snippet, wb. 15425 kHz noted a sign-on procedure on that channel, very tiny signal level in Brisbane Queensland downunder around 1155 UT. So decided to change the SDR remote network rx to another remote SDR unit north of Tokyo Japan. Around 1156 UT noted an end procedure of an UNKNOWN language program, seemingly n o t Bahasa Malaysian. Mentioned few times 'BBC...' by male voice announcer, so I guess the technician of the UNKNOWN bcast center site, - likeley Tashkent - Uzbekistan relay site -, switched to a satellite feed on Indian Ocean program taken from BBC / WRN control room near London ? The unknown bcast transmission ended, and was NOT ANYMORE on air, when checked at 1201 UT again. So, was that a negative program start which happened today July 14 at 1155-1200 UT ?
