The NBTC is willing to provide the service for the BBC once Thailand's Foreign Affairs Ministry and the company reached an agreement to renew the contract, said NBTC secretary general Thakorn Tanthasit on Friday. The BBC's short-wave relay station stopped transmitting at the start of the year after the contract with the government expired. The news outlet said in a statement released on Thursday that the agency could not reach an agreement with authorities to resume broadcasting because of its financial limitations so it had to shut down the station. But it said people could still listen to its programme via relay stations elsewhere. The Foreign Affair Ministry earlier said the two parties had been in negotiations for renewing the contract. The BBC, it said, had submitted the draft agreement in late December, but this was too close to the deadline on December 31. It said as such, the contract renewal could not be done in time as it would have to ask the Cabinet for approval. The BBC last month contacted the ministry to brief it, according to BBC Thai. Thakorn said the ministry had submitted an official letter to it inquiring as to whether the contract between the ministry and the BBC had to also be approved by the NBTC. The organisation responded by referring to the country' policy regarding the matter. NBTC - March 10, 2017, by The Nation (The Nation, via Artie Bigley, dxld March 10) ...

UKRAINE --- The authorities of the Crimea have launched radio broadcasting to the border areas of Ukraine, told RIA Novosti the State Duma deputy from the Crimean region Ruslan Balbek. In particular, according to him, we are talking about the Crimean- Tatar radio "Vatan sedas" ("Voice of the Motherland"). The radio station earned in February this year. Earlier on the peninsula, a private Crimean-Tatar television channel ATR and the radio station "Meydan" operated, which stopped broadcasting, as they did not undergo re-registration under Russian law. "Additional transmitters are installed in Dzhankoy, what a call! It will broadcast the signal to the border areas of the Kherson region of Ukraine, where Crimean Tatars also live in compact form. The voice of the Crimea will now sound for residents of the south of the Kherson region, which will allow our compatriots not to distance themselves from the cultural and socio-political life of the Republic, "Balbek said. At the same time, the deputy stressed that coverage of the Kherson region will be increased after installing another transmitter in Krasnoperekopsk. According to him, "Vatan sedas" also expands broadcasting in the territory to The Crimean peninsula. "By the end of June, the radio will cover 60% of the population of the peninsula, which is almost six times more than before the radio station Meydan," Balbek said. http://crimea.ria.ru/society/20170302/1109333141.html (Rus-DX 5 March via DXLD) ** KOREA NORTH [non]. 7615, Voice of Wilderness, Tashkent.

Moscow ------ AMERICAN SHAREHOLDERS OF ECHA MOSCOW WILL REDUCE THE OWNERSHIP IN THE CAPITAL OF RADIO STATION http://www.radioportal.ru/news/radio/amerikanskie-akcionery-eha-moskvy-vtroe-sokratyat-vladenie-v-kapitale- radiostancii US co-owners of Echo of Moscow, EM Holdings, will triple the ownership of the station's share capital in order to meet the requirements of legislation on foreign media ownership. This was reported to RNS by the editor-in-chief and shareholder of Ekho Moskvy, Alexei Venediktov, according to which the minority shareholders of Echo prepared a program for restructuring the ownership structure and already sent it to Roskomnadzor. American co-owners see this as a partial expropriation of their property, Venediktov stressed. The largest shareholder of Ekho Moskvy is Gazprom-Media with a share of 66%. The remaining shares are distributed among the minority shareholders of the radio station. "In fact, EM Holdings had 19.92% in the founder, and now it will be 19.92% in the company that owns 34% in the founder of Ekho Moskvy. That is, 19.92% of all Ekho Moskvy shares, and as a result of reorganization will be 19.92% of 34% of shares in the founder of the radio station. That is, their possession, as I believe, is reduced threefold. And this happens not through buying and selling, but by exchanging shares of other enterprises of participants in this transaction. What do they get in return? And this is not important, it does not concern the "Echo of Moscow", "he said, stressing that as a result of the restructuring, American co-owners cease to be founders of the" Echo of Moscow ". Earlier, Roskomnadzor sent a letter to the director general of Ekho Moskvy, Ekaterina Pavlova, warning of a possible closure of the radio station on February 15, if Ekho Moskvy does not eliminate violations of the law on foreign ownership.

Volgograd. -------------------------------------------------- - The branch of RTRS Volgograd ORTPTS celebrates its 59th anniversary. On March 16, 1958, the Stalingrad Telecentre was established by the order of the chief of the regional administration of the Ministry of Communications, which became one of the 16 in the Soviet Union. The first transmitter on Mamayev Kurgan was aired a little earlier, on February 2, the day of the 15th anniversary of the defeat of the fascist troops at Stalingrad. Thanks to the painstaking work of specialists, the enterprise successfully copes with the tasks set and takes a worthy place among the branches of the RTRS. To date, a modern production and technological complex has been created, including 60 digital broadcast stations. Also on March 16 Volgograd Radio Telecentre RTRS celebrates together with the whole world the birthday of the inventor of the radio Alexander Stepanovich Popov. May 7, 1895 meeting of the Russian Physico-Chemical Society in St. Petersburg, where Alexander Popov showed the operation of the device, the world's first radio receiver. The realization of the practical significance of the invention occurred in 1900 after the rescue of the General Admiral Apraksin battleship by radio. Volgograd Radio Telecentre RTRS congratulates employees and veterans of the branch on the 59th anniversary and wishes the inhabitants of the region more interesting, informative, entertaining and diverse TV and radio programs. (Http://volgograd.rtrs.ru/prof/rtrs-region/newspaper/volgogradskomu-radioteletsentru-rtrs-59-let/) Russia ---------- Today is the birthday of Alexander Stepanovich Popov Alexander Stepanovich Popov was born on March 4, 1859 (March 16, 1859) in the Urals in a settlement at the Theological Plant Turinsky Rudniki Verkhotursky district of the Perm province. In the family of his father, a local priest Stepan Petrovich Popov, there were six other children besides Alexander. Lived more than modestly. In many countries of the West Marconi is considered the inventor of the radio, although other candidates are also called: in Germany, Hertz is considered the creator of the radio, Nicholas Tesla in Belarus, Ya.O. Narkevich-Iodk in a number of Balkan countries. The statement about the priority of Alexander Stepanovich is based on the fact that Popov demonstrated the radio he invented at a meeting of the physical department of the Russian Physical and Chemical Society on April 25 (May 7), 1895, while Marconi applied for the invention on June 2, 1896. In Russia it is accompanied by direct or indirect accusations of Marconi in plagiarism: it is assumed that his works of 1895 were not reflected anywhere (more precisely, they are known only from persons close to him, whose impartiality is considered dubious in Russia), at the same time in the application He used a scheme similar to Popov's receiver, the first description of the prototype of which was published in July 1895 with the release of the second edition of the Fundamentals of Meteorology and Climatology, DA Lachinov, which describes the principle of the action of the "scatterer Popov." Popov himself from the beginning of 1897 began to actively defend his priority, supported in this by close ones and colleagues. In the 1940's. In the USSR, its priority was considered indisputable. May 7 was since 1945 declared the Day of Radio in the USSR. In 1995, UNESCO held a solemn meeting on this day devoted to the centennial of the invention of radio. The Board of Directors of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) noted the demonstration of Alexander Stepanovich as a milestone in electrical engineering and radio electronics. The article in the section "History" on the official website of the IEEE states that Popov was indeed the first, but was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement related to teaching at the Marine Engineering School 73!
