This was stated by a member of the National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio Broadcasting Sergei Kostinsky during the conference "Reintegration of Donbass in the conditions of a hybrid war," the correspondent of Ukrinform reports. Source: "Ukrinform" portal. (Http://proradio.org.ua/news/2017may.php) * The Verkhovna Rada supported in the first reading a bill aimed at obliging broadcasters to keep recordings of broadcasts within one year from the date of their distribution instead of two weeks. For bill No. 5607 "On Amendments to Article 48 of the Law of Ukraine" On Television and Radio Broadcasting "Regarding the Term of the Preservation of Programs", 227 People's Deputies voted in the first reading. Voting took place in three attempts: first the bill collected 215 votes, then 224, finally - 227. Bill No. 5607 was registered on December 26, 2016 by People's Deputies of the "Bloc of Petro Poroshenko" Pavel Rizanenko and Andrei Shinkovich. According to them, 14 days is a short period of storage of records, which complicates the realization of the right to refute unreliable information. Therefore, they propose to oblige broadcasters to keep recordings of broadcasts within a year after their distribution. During the discussion, the deputies noted that during the preparation of the draft law for the second reading, the period for keeping records can be reduced, since the storage of the summer archive requires considerable material and technical resources of TV and radio companies. Recall that the current law "On Television and Radio Broadcasting" stipulates that broadcasters must keep the recording of broadcasts within 14 days from the date of their distribution, if no complaint has been received about their content at that time. In case of filing a complaint, the records are kept until The complaint will not be considered and no decision will be made on it Source: Media Detector Portal.

In May of the year 62 the first few programs in Belarusian began to leave Minsk for our compatriots abroad. For more than half a century the radio "Belarus" has managed to become a leader both in the media space of the country, both near and far abroad. Today, around the clock, the radio channel broadcasts in eight languages for a potential audience of 500 million people. Esters from Belarus are heard in Europe, Asia, America, and Africa. International radio "Belarus" is the visiting card of our country. The channel develops the Internet space, being present in social networks and on interactive platforms, participates in the creation and support of a positive image of Belarus in the international space.

You can see the icon here - http://rusdx.blogspot.ru/2017/05/blog-post_26.html (Anatoly Klepov, Moscow, Russia) Mass media ========== * Broadcasting: about what we will not have. -------------------------------------------------- ---------- Behind the vigorous press releases about the triumphant march in the world of broadcasting in the DAB + standard, it seems that the once-promising direction - DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) seems to have been forgotten. With our country, everything is clear: this type of broadcast, which was predicted not so long ago by a great future, after the cessation of broadcasting in the long, medium and short wave bands, no longer appears in any plans. The same, by the way, you can say about DAB +. In the near future, we only have FM broadcasting. But what happens in the world? Have DRM been rejected everywhere, or is it still developing? And how are things with one of the main problems at one time - receivers? Did they manage to mass-produce them and can they be purchased? And what about satellite broadcasting, gaining popularity in the US and some other countries? We will try to answer these questions. DRM Where DRM is implemented Some giants of the broadcasting industry, who were at the source of the DRM consortium (for example, Deutsche Welle), to the project have cooled down and turned down work in this direction. The huge funds invested by them in research, advertising and promotion are a thing of the past, although DRM transmissions from several international broadcasters - Radio New Zealand Int., Radio France Int., KBS World Radio, etc., are still on the air. The most interesting is that not the richest countries of Asia and South America show a great interest in the development of this direction. Here are just a few examples. The Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) recently told that during the visit of the Director General of Radio Pakistan, Khurshid Malik, to the Radio House in Islamabad, he was shown the results of preparatory work for the implementation of the revised DRM Plus standard, which will bring the quality of the on-air Signal "to perfection." It was also noted that all medium wave transmitters of Radio Pakistan will be able to operate in a new standard after a small upgrade. The main reason for the use of DRM Plus is a significant reduction in the cost of radio broadcasting, as well as the access of radio listeners to text messages. Not the richest country India has recently completed the first phase of a large process of implementing the DRM standard. In the course of the work, 37 DRM transmitters were launched throughout the country. 35 of them are intended for broadcasting in the range of medium waves, and two more - in the short range. Shortwave transmitters broadcast international programs in the standard DRM. Of the 35 medium-wave transmitters, two operate only in the DRM standard, and the rest - in the parallel broadcasting mode. Pay attention to the power of medium-wave transmitting devices: 1000 kW (two transmitters), 300 kW (six), 200 kW (10), 100 kW (11) and 20 kW (six). Shortwave transmitters operate with capacities of 500 kW and 250 kW. During the second stage, it is planned to launch text messages on a variety of topics. Students will be able to read them on the radios. In the third stage, all broadcasting in India should fully switch to the digital DRM platform, which will improve the sound quality of radio programs and provide additional functions, while saving a lot of power on transmitter power. Interestingly, in Pakistan, medium-wave public broadcasting is developing, as in neighboring India, but in Europe it is curtailed or stopped altogether, for example, in Germany, Russia and Belarus. The Brazilian public broadcaster Radio Nacional da Amazônia is currently conducting test broadcasts in the short-wave band using the DRM30 sub-standard. Tests were organized by the Brazilian Digital Radio Association (ABRADIG) with the support of the DRM Consortium. For broadcasting, a low-power transmitter (150 W) is installed, installed in the country's capital, Brasilia, to assess the operation of the equipment, the quality of the transmitted signal, and the stability of the system. As of today, test transmissions can be taken in the territory of Brazil and occasionally even outside its borders. What and what to listen to Unfortunately, fans of DRM-broadcasts in Russian have nothing to listen to: the daily short-wave programs "Interradio Romania" and "All India Radio" can be added except that the once-weekly broadcast of "Radio Japan". Not much. As for radio receivers, those who wish can find several variants of foreign production, which allow to receive DRM broadcasting, as a rule, on a secondary basis (the main thing for them is DAB +). Further, in developing and manufacturing radio receivers capable of receiving DRM transmissions, India has advanced: it is the company Communications Systems Inc., which manufactures products under the trademark "Avion" (Avion). The AV-DR-1401 can receive a signal in the medium, short (with overlapping of the entire broadcasting section) waves, as well as in the FM band. In addition to analog stations, AVION can memorize the frequencies of 40 DRM radio stations, broadcast texts, images, radio magazines, slides on the screen, and also play mp3-files from memory cards. The receiver is equipped with a rather powerful battery and a power supply for operation from the network. The device can be purchased on the company's website, its price is 189 US dollars (without the cost of sending). Agree that this is quite expensive for the majority of the population of India and neighboring Asian countries, and in some regions of Russia this is practically a monthly salary. As you can see, DRM is supported and developed only in India: at least there are clearly drawn plans that are systematically implemented. Romania and Pakistan are in second and third place. All other broadcasters (and there are not so many of them) have not yet left the stage of test broadcasting. Satellite Radio Why it is necessary The project of digital mobile broadcasting was intended, first of all, for motorists. A bit of history: in 1997, the license of the Federal Communications Commission for broadcasting in the standard SDARS (Satelitte Digital Audio Radio Services) in the US received two rival American companies: Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. And XM Satellite Radio Inc. At the end of 2001, almost simultaneously launched two national networks of satellite direct digital broadcasting - Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio. Although the companies were competitors, but a single standard of broadcasting led to the fact that their receiving equipment became interchangeable. Specially for these networks have developed a fundamentally different business model: existence and development without traditional radio advertising. Programs should be available for listening on a subscription basis (similar to cable TV). In addition, services were offered for programming and selecting the content of the received programs by the listener himself. The project also guaranteed high sound quality. All this range of pleasures initially cost the listener 9 dollars 95 cents a month. For this money, the user Sirius Satellite Radio has access to more than a hundred twenty-four-hour thematic channels. In contrast to conventional radio, each of them broadcast the programs defined by its theme: musical (separately for each genre), information-news, educational, entertaining, and also programs in foreign languages. Listener XM Satellite Radio received a package of 71 music and several news and information channels, and the repertoire of music was the most diverse - from classics to rock. How it works The first of the companies launched three low-Earth orbit satellites that cover almost the entire territory of North America with the expectation that two of them will be constantly on the region. XM Satellite Radio launched only two satellites (with the names Rock and, of course, Roll), which, however, are in the geostationary orbit, i.e. Constantly "hang" over the equator, covering the territory of the USA from the east to the west coast. Later they were added to satellites Rhythm and Blues. In addition, in a multi-storey building area, a network of ground-based repeaters was deployed due to the inevitable "failures" of the signal when traveling through tunnels, etc. Receivers are automatically reconfigured to ground repeater frequencies in the absence of a satellite signal. In addition, the receivers have a so-called buffer, in which data is accumulated, which are reproduced only after it is completely filled. All these measures almost completely avoid the failure in the sound, when the receiver temporarily loses its connection with the satellite. In addition, there are options for pause and replay. Information about the weather and traffic situation in real time in text mode is also available. Satellite radios were developed specifically for this project, and on store shelves they appeared in early 2001. Their main difference from conventional receivers is the decoder, the code to which the listener receives after making a subscription fee. Reception of programs is possible on the antenna with a diameter of 20 to 30 centimeters, and, unlike satellite TV, there is no need for a particularly accurate orientation to the satellite. The cost of the devices, depending on the equipment, starts from $ 50. Currently, radios for digital satellite reception are produced by almost all leading manufacturers, for example, Kenwood, JVC, Blaupunkt, Sony, etc. The current position of the format Numerous models of cars in the USA are equipped with digital satellite radios: Audi, BMW, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, etc. On the installation site of the radio in the car can be written "Sirius Ready" or "XM Ready". This means that the digital receiver itself is not here, but it is possible to connect it. In principle, such vehicles are not difficult to buy and domestic car enthusiasts, but this makes no sense: Russia does not fall into the zone of operation of satellites of digital broadcasting and money will be wasted. On July 29, 2008, two companies merged into one: Sirius XM Radio, Inc. Currently, there is an opportunity to listen to the programs not only in the car, but also on portable devices, as well as on the computer. The coverage of satellite broadcasting today is the USA (including Alaska), Canada and Mexico. In the last two countries, services began to be provided from 2004 and 2009, respectively. Also in the zone is a 200-mile sea zone along the US coast (for lovers of sea walks). The number of subscribers last year exceeded 30 million people around the world. We will not wonder how such a project would develop if it were launched in Russia: the territory we have is much larger and longer, so we would have to increase the number of satellites and terrestrial repeaters, which would inevitably lead to an increase in subscription fees. Therefore, most likely, a satellite radio broadcast * Annual Conference of the Russian Academy of Radio "The Future of Regional Radio" -------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- It will be held on June 1-2 in the city of Sochi. The conference will be held within the 10th anniversary of the Russian Academy of Radio with the support of the Federal Agency for Press and Mass Communications and will traditionally bring together over 200 managers and key specialists of Russia's leading radio stations - federal, regional and local. Broadcasting industry professionals will discuss management, commercial, marketing and legal aspects of the operation of regional and local radio stations in the 21st century. Here are just some of the topics of the conference that were included in the program: • What is known about the radio listener in the regions of Russia? • Trends in radio advertising markets in Russian regions • How is the success of the local radio be successful? • New online tools for localizing content on the radio Only the conference participants learn first-hand about the legal and legislative subtleties and dangers that lead to negative consequences. The conference will feature recognized experts in the broadcasting industry, representatives of the Federal Service for Supervision in the Communication, Information Technology and Mass Communications, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, specialists of the largest Russian radio holdings, Academicians of the RAR. Already, before the beginning of the conference, you can contact any of the speakers and ask questions that interest you.

The TV channel My Planet and Radio ISKATEL unite their resources and form the first media cluster in Russia in the field of adventure and discovery. The main goal of the association was to expand the presence of cognitive content in key media environments - television, radio and the Internet. To create effective mechanisms for interaction between the two companies in the framework of work on media projects of Moya Planeta (TV channels My Planet, Live Planet, HD Planet and Internet portal www.myo-planeta.ru) acquired a 25% stake in Radio ISKATEL. "My Planet" - the main Russian educational channel about travel, history, science and people - offers the audience the best domestic and foreign programs and documentaries. The mission of the channel is to awaken in the audience a thirst for adventure and knowledge, to show that in each journey a new life awaits them. The TV channel is based on programs and films of its own production - the creative team of the channel creates over 200 documentary TV projects every year. "My Planet" is the leader among paid educational channels on average monthly coverage - in March 2017, the channel was watched by more than 15 million Russians over 4 years old, and the daily audience of the channel is 2.3 million viewers (Mediascope, March 2017). Radio ISKATEL is the first Russian radio station, addressed to those for whom the spirit of adventure and discovery is the driving force of life, who are attracted to unconquered peaks and new horizons. The slogan of the radio station is the famous phrase from the novel "Two Captains": "Fight and seek, find and do not give up!". A third of the radio station's broadcast is filled with entertaining and informative programs about people, travel, fascinating facts, the history of our country and the planet. The musical series of the station is formed on the basis of numerous studies of preferences of the male audience at the age of 25-45 years and consists mainly of the classics of domestic and foreign rock music. The radio station is a partner of the largest photo exhibitions and international festivals. In addition, Radio ISKATEL participates in the organization of expeditions, including the expedition under the aegis of the RGO From Baikal to Alaska. Broadcast network "Radio ISKATEL" is developing rapidly - in less than a year the radio station opened in 8 cities, including in Irkutsk, Barnaul, Tomsk, Togliatti and Surgut. According to media measurements, in a number of broadcasting cities Radio ISKATEL entered the top 10 most popular stations, ahead of many famous radio stations, which indicates the relevance of its software concept. "Our companies have common interests. Both "My Planet" and "Radio Seeker" are addressed to the same audience - active, addicted to people for whom the spirit of adventure and discovery, overcoming oneself, victory over circumstances is of great value. Combining efforts creates synergy and will allow us to enter new media segments, significantly increase the aggregate audience without significantly increasing costs, "says Ekaterina Sundukova, editor- in-chief of Radio ISKATEL. "Partnership allows My Planet to gain experience and competence in a new segment of the radio. For our team of editors, authors and leaders this opens up a completely new audience and allows us to communicate with her otherwise. We are preparing to adapt for the airtime the most popular formats of our channel. In turn, the "Radio ISKATEL" opens up the possibility of communication with a multimillion-dollar television audience and promotion on TV. We are also preparing joint projects related to adventure, discovery, travel, "- commented the general director of the TV channel" My Planet "Sergei Koshlyakov. Combining the efforts of the two teams will allow developing the theme of adventure and travel in all media environments in the 360 ° format. It is assumed that television, radio, the Internet, mobile applications, social media will be used to create and disseminate media content. (Http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__65704/) 73!
