(Krutoy Media website: http://www.krutoymedia.ru/news/4326.htm) LITHUANIA ====== From the response of Rimantas Pleikys to the question of why the transmitter on RFE / RL order works with reduced power: P. S. The decision to work with a power of 75 kW was apparently made on the basis of Monitoring data in Moscow, Minsk and Kiev. In the Moscow region, the signal reaches S9 + 30 ... + 40 dB. Http://rz3dvp.ru:8073/ Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1jp0gXZR0U Rimantas Pleikys Do not speculate on the coffee grounds. Transmitters within Lithuania were not tolerated anywhere: - Virshulishkes - Tesla SRV, 50 + 25 kW (612 kHz, previously and 1107, 1557 kHz) - dismantled; - Sitkunai - Vortex, 500 kW (666, 1386 kHz) dismantled, Storm-C, 75 + 75 kW (1386 kHz, previously 612, 1557, 1107 kHz) - will be dismantled; Shortwave Continental Electronics 418F, 100 kW - will be sold or disassembled; 7 masts and 6 towers - will be dismantled. - The medium-wave transmitter Nautel NX-200 in Veshintos at 1386 kHz on RFE / RL order works with a reduced power of 75 kW, mast 120 m, previously operated at 873 kHz, 150 kW, Weisskirchen, American Forces Network. + I agree, the picture is sad. And we offered 600 kW through a two-mast directional antenna.

The National Council for Television and Radio Broadcasting obligated the radio station to pay UAH 579390.4 for broadcasting a large number of programs not in the state language. "The National Council applied penal sanctions to 10 radio companies that violated the norms of the law on quotas," - said in a message on the page of the department in Facebook. "Radio Vesti", "Glas", "104.FM", "Radio Chanson", "Kiss FM", "Radio 106.6", "MFM", "Europe Plus Dnepr", "Irta" and "TRK Mayak" Must pay 5% of the amount of the license fee for broadcasting programs and songs in the Ukrainian language below the level established by law. On the published infographics it is clear that Kiev, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Kirovograd, Odessa, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhya regions became the penalty regions. The largest amount of penalties for conducting programs not in Ukrainian was written out to Glas company - 43.2 thousand Hryvnia, in second place - Radio Vesti (39.6 thousand Hryvnia), on the third - radio 104 FM (17.6 thousand Hryvnia). Most violations during the broadcast of songs recorded on the radio "Chanson" (125.7 thousand Hryvnia). On March 16, the Ukrainian parliament passed a bill in the first reading, providing that at least 75% of films and programs should be broadcast in Ukrainian. The document allows a situation where the presenter speaks the official language, and the guests respond to the other. For regional TV companies, a cat is established - 50%. All programs and films that are not their own product must be accompanied by subtitles in Ukrainian, if speakers and actors speak other languages.

For 10 years of existence, the radio station ROCK FM has never changed its principles, acquainted listeners with the legends and traditions of rock and roll, broadcast the songs only the best of the best and promoted rock music to the masses. For the next ten years, ROCK FM will remain faithful to the once chosen path. See you on the wave of 95.2 FM!

One year of broadcasting "Radio Dacha - Volgograd" A year ago, on April 27, in Volgograd on the frequency of 97.6 MHz began broadcasting "Radio Dacha". Coverage of the population is 1344.0 thousand people. The license for broadcasting is owned by Krutoy Media Holding. (Krutoy Media website: http://www.krutoymedia.ru/news/4332.htm) Mass media ========== * Moscow ---------- May 19, 2017 in Moscow will be the third annual International Forum of Russian-speaking broadcasters. The Forum is organized by the Radio Broadcasting Development Foundation "Academy of Radio" with the support of the Federal Agency for Press and Mass Communications and with the assistance of the Information and Press Department of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The general information partner of the event is MTRK Mir. Russian-language broadcasters from Russia, as well as from Belarus, Armenia, Moldova and other CIS countries, as well as from Germany, Spain, France, Great Britain and other Western European countries are invited to participate in the Forum. The honorary guests and participants of the meeting will also be high-ranking representatives of specialized Russian state and public structures. In the context of the increasing role of information, its influence on public opinion and political decision-making, Russian-speaking broadcasters play an increasingly important role in creating an objective image of Russia abroad. It is they who become the guides not only of alternative, "first-hand" information about events in Russia, but also contribute to the promotion of Russian culture and the Russian language in countries where the Russian community is great and where historical ties with our country are strong. The International Forum is intended to become a unifying platform for broadcasters, a place for the exchange of experience and opinions between professionals. This year, the focus of delegates will be a wide range of issues related to new trends in the development of television and radio broadcasting. In particular, the transition to digital broadcasting, which changes the format and level of radio consumption in the world, new forms of broadcasting and interactive interaction with listeners, support for broadcasters from various foundations and other public organizations. Forum participants will also consider how the Russian language and Russian-language broadcasting contribute to the integration of the Russian-speaking population in the CIS countries and the promotion of an objective image of Russia. Representatives of the radio of classical music will talk about their broadcasting abroad, about how music becomes a conductor of culture and values. Special attention should be paid to the theme of anti-Russian sentiments, in particular, in Europe, and the difficult choice for Russian-speaking broadcasters. Within the framework of the Forum, there will also be a discussion on the reliability of information and its most reliable sources. Foreign Russian-speaking broadcasters will be given the opportunity to make presentations of their companies.

With this statement she spoke at the Committee on Information of the General Assembly, Tass reports. The diplomat drew attention to the fact that 15-minute broadcasts ceased to appear on the UN Radio since January 1, 2017. "These programs were prepared in response to the UN General Assembly resolution of December 6, 1999. The need for the preparation of these programs was approved by the committee's resolutions every year, including the 2016th, and the decision to abolish or reformat them should be taken by the Committee, not by the individual department. Department to clarify this situation and take the necessary organizational steps to restore broadcasts in Russian, "Zakharova said. She also urged the UN secretariat to intensify the activities of the Russian-language section of the UN News Service, including increasing the amount of multimedia content, as well as maintaining the high quality of information products. In addition, the diplomat called for the popularization of UN Internet resources in the Russian-speaking segment of social networks, noting the significant progress achieved in this regard. As the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry reminded, multilingualism is one of the fundamental principles of the United Nations, which promotes mutual understanding between peoples. According to her, Moscow expects from the UN Secretariat "to allocate adequate resources to provide translation services in Russian", as well as to prevent the reduction of their quality. Zakharova as a whole positively assessed the work of the UN Department of Public Information in key areas, including information and explanatory. At the same time, she drew attention to the lack of "analytical and prognostic components" in the reports of the secretariat, which sometimes emphasize a detailed report on the work done. In addition, the diplomat noted that the reports paid insufficient attention to information work in the field of combating terrorism. The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation supported the organization of more events dedicated to the victory over Nazism, the prevention of the glorification of fascism and the spread of a misanthropic ideology. "These lessons can not be forgotten." The story that is forgotten is repeated, "Zakharova warned. (Http://jourdom.ru/news/93954) DISCUSSION =========== The discussion is already old, but I just saw (I would like to add a couple of words from myself in the general topic, since there is something to say) The AM range can not be "old" in itself !! In the fact that people stopped using it in MASSAMS, only the mediocre and incorrect marketing of broadcasters is to blame, and as a result "disconnection as unnecessary" for those who do not work anymore. Thus, the range of offered radio programs has narrowed. Meanwhile, as Vadim Alekseev correctly noted in one of his programs "Radio Panorama" - the transition of the station to the Internet - makes every listener change the inexpensive and easy-to-use radio receiver to a sophisticated technological and expensive device called a smartphone (or computer). Unfortunately this is not a very good moment. I also note that even despite the fact that a long time ago ~ 200-300 dollars for a smartphone - not such big money for me personally - "flow" as a listener on the Internet is absolutely not going to. The battery of almost any smartphone, even in the mode without the constant use of data transmission - lives on for a day. As soon as you start something to strive - the battery life from the state "charged" to "discharged" can be counted at times for hours, which is wildly inconvenient as a fact, therefore I do not consider it technologically correct to permanently spend the battery life on listening to the air. It is perfectly logical to assume that I am far from alone (otherwise comrades from Samsung would not have experimented with the battery capacity in the infamous Samsung Galaxy Note 7 model, the extremely large battery capacity of which ultimately leads to the explosion of the latter during active operation, this in its Turn indicates that most users do not have quite the current capacity of the batteries in their devices and requires a constant increase in capacity). And consequently, such a step as the refusal of broadcasting in favor of the Internet is short-sighted at least. I do not argue that the MW will not overtake the FM in its number, but the fact that it is more accessible even to a technically savvy and financially stable person is a fact. In addition, this I live in the capital, and it is only necessary to go beyond the ring road - as the mobile Internet starts behaving quite differently, in terms of the quality of coverage of the territory by a signal. Consequently, again, any ethereal range here beats all the newfangled technologies. Moreover - for large "transnational" broadcasters, AM bands with a large territory should have become a full complement to their Internet broadcasts! For a simple reason - AM is perfectly accepted on the street, in a car, etc., that is outside buildings. And in buildings just the same and not scary - there are much more chances that there is a wifa or stationary Internet! And another important point, like already mentioned him once. This "finding" again a radio station in order to return the listener to her air after a while. Compare the two situations, examples: - 1) I went online and 2) I turned on the receiver. In the first case, I have a lot of other tasks (not necessarily related to "listening to the ether," but including those relating). In addition, even if it is a question of listening to the broadcast, then the competition for my ears in this case is held by millions of Internet radio stations. And in the second case - I turned on the receiver, if as the occupation is chosen this process - then absolutely I will listen to the radio. And the choice of stations in a good sense is limited by the scale of the apparatus. That is, the option that I will focus on one of the broadcasters - is substantially higher in percentage terms with respect to any of the stations, that is, only those who broadcast here share the competition. And what, in the end, is the probability of choosing me a particular radio station? From a million pieces in the catalog, or only from dozens of pieces on any of the ranges? About this is also very fond of forgetting such here "fans to broadcast on a plate." Unfortunately, when I came across this comrade Kiselev's quote, I realized that 1413 was also not a perpetual frequency (I'm sorry, it's unfortunate to broadcast on FM frequencies neither their satellite, nor Westam! And on this medium-frequency frequency, the Vesti FM radio station "Covers almost all of Belarus, and in a rather large percentage of the day, I can not hear only at lunchtime." I regularly listen to the broadcasts on the way to work in the morning, and in the evening, returning from it. Therefore, I repeat - do not consider the average waves old or morally obsolete - this is an excellent etheric range, which is obliged to live! No Internet can prevent it, it can only be deliberately destroyed by short-sighted broadcasters, who after a while will pay for their audience's loss, but it will be too late. And the fact that not all people use such receivers in everyday life is again not the fault of the medium waves, it is the fault of the wrong and wrong marketing policy of radio stations in the first place !! About what to say, if on the site of the same WEST FM on the frequency list even lazy to specify the frequency of 1413, And exactly also lazy to place on the air the corresponding jingle ???? Although I have already memorized by heart that it is 97.6 in Moscow, 89.3 in St. Petersburg, 106.8 in Volgograd and so on! I regularly hear them on the air and I know all the frequencies. So why not just let all listeners know that it is also on medium waves, 1413 kHz ??? While it is still broadcasting .... The rhetorical question and the apparent total sloppiness of those who are responsible for the manufacture of these jingles! By the way, even in this conference a couple of times this frequency was mistaken! And by itself, if this station leaves the band, I listen to it via the Internet. If I ever do, it's obviously very rare, because I use the Internet more often for another in my life than for planting a battery in my mobile phone, which I have To the word modern and even referred to as the "flagship" - Samsung S4 Mini, I have no way to call this model obsolete at the time of writing this message. Of course, I can buy a new S8 (recently released) - but what's the point, if the battery and there will be "live" for about a day, and for all other characteristics of the difference is not so significant for my tasks, that would again spend money On a new cell phone? Therefore, the statement "no one walks down the street with the MW, it's out of date" - is not the reason, it's the CONSEQUENCE of the fact that the stations did not promote these frequencies to the masses, but only reduced the airs all this time there. Whether this moment is different - otherwise there would be a state of affairs in such broadcasting. Walking under the CB usually looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ3XeHkf8v8 - May the local lovers of Romanian broadcasting forgive me (Hello, Lyonya :)) - a good song was caught and I could not take it off On video, as it very well conveys the atmosphere of that walk. More on CB stations, good and different !! And do not forget to talk about this to PEOPLE via the air. Then the audience will not have an outflow, and the Internet is not a hindrance. Yours faithfully, Evgenie. 73 !!! (Eugene, Minsk / "open_dx") 73!
