How to quickly deliver information to the consumer, to make the press more modern? These and other questions were discussed by the leaders of the Kursk mass media with Deputy Minister of Communications and Mass Media of Russia Alexei Volin. - Quote: But there will not be a digital radio in Russia. Alexei Volin: "This is due to the fact that the transition of the radio to" digital "allows 3-4 times to increase the number of operating radio stations. In conditions when the advertising market radio advertising is barely enough to feed existing radio stations, to switch the radio to "number" and multiply the number of radio stations means to kill radio as an industry. " And yet, there will be changes in broadcasting. In the air, according to experts, there will be more live communication and useful information.

(Https://vk.com/dxing) TURKMENISTAN ================ In Turkmenistan, television and radio are translated into self-financing. President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov signed a decree according to which the State Committee on Television, Radio Broadcasting and Cinematography is transferred to self-financing - "for the purpose of further development of the industry". This is reported by the Turkmen service of Radio Liberty - Radio Azatlyk. The termination of state financing of television and radio broadcasting will be implemented in stages over 4 years and will begin in 2018. As the interlocutors of "Radio Azatlyk" note, the broadcasts of the country's national television are monotonous, the information is extremely scarce, the content of the programs is based on the official chronicle and propaganda of achievements. In this connection, the residents of the country prefer foreign television channels available on satellite television, mostly Russian and Turkish. Against this background, the programs of the state television of Turkmenistan were repeatedly criticized by the president of the country. In particular, Berdymukhamedov expressed dissatisfaction with the pace of development of domestic television. At the same time, the Turkmen authorities have been campaigning for several years to dismantle satellite dishes installed by residents of the country to watch the broadcasts of foreign TV channels.

RADIOPRIC Let's imagine for a moment that on the street the very height of the construction of "developed socialism" is the 70s of the last century, calls for peace are sounding everywhere, and all the people are coming closer and closer to bringing the cherished communism closer and closer. Now imagine that it is you who live at this very time, have a receiver and listen to foreign radio stations, from the highest official stands declared "enemy voices." And even write cautious letters to these radio stations from time to time, where you ask to confirm the very fact of your reception Radio broadcasts. All this is pretty easy to imagine. But information about the reaction of the relevant bodies, which fully fell upon the head of this very fan of "enemy voices," can be gleaned from some films or books about those years. Add to all this that any of the neighbors could report your suspicious Enthusiasm "where necessary" ... Here you have a complete picture of the situation with DX-ing in times of "stagnation": this is what will be discussed today In those same years, the attitude of the authorities towards radio amateurs-shortwave fans was quite loyal: well, people are fond of talking to each other, although they live in different countries through radio. So all this is put under state control by filling out questionnaires and other documents, issuing permission for a radio station, official membership in radio clubs, etc. Measures. Much more difficult was the case with lovers of long-distance radio reception. It's enough for a person to buy a receiver, pull the antenna and everything ... You can listen to whom and at any time: and those who are supposed to know about everything, this fact may not be guessed. In the former USSR, the former republics of the Baltic States have always been an order of magnitude different from the rest of the Soviet people. It is not in vain that we tried to go there during the holidays, so that at least a little touch with freedom and the Western way of life. That's exactly where the "Union of Baltic DX-Stories" was organized on June 1, 1974, or simply - the DX-club "Baltika". The club's mission was to unite the DX-origins living in the Baltic republics, as well as in the Leningrad and Kaliningrad regions. In addition, associate members of the club could be foreign DX-ists from the Baltic states. The first secretary of the club was Ulinda Rimas from Lithuania. It is interesting that the club published a printed bulletin, which was called "DX-Echo", it was published until October 1975. Then the band of problems began, which led to the fact that the club several times stood on the verge of collapse. And only with the arrival of G. Grigoriev and V. Ershov appeared hope for a full-fledged activity. Moreover, the club began to accept all comers into its ranks. As you understand, all the communication of the members of the club was then conducted exclusively with the help of ordinary letters. This is how the information came to the newsletter "DX-Echo", which was initially hand-written, and was subsequently printed on a typewriter and sent out to its readers again ordinary by mail. By the way, it should be noted that the mail was then inspected by all DX-stories, in spite of the fact that the reports were mainly written only on radio stations that were considered relatively loyal to the Soviet Union. Another bulletin published at that time; Was called "NDH", which meant - News DK. " The author of these lines managed to communicate recently with the permanent editor of the bulletin "NDH", now the teacher of the university from Tula, Vladimir Zharikov. It was a weekly publication, founded on April 7 1973, which in its size was limited only by the volume of information received. There were also radio station schedules, and current changes in the air, and annotations of new reference publications (as it was for the shortwave), and observations, and many other very different messages ... The only thing that immediately strikes the eye: nowhere are the authors of information indicated - in the last resort, only the initials. Not too much precaution at the time! http://ptk-servis.ru/Radiolubitel%202007-03/61 (via RusDX 9 July via DXLD) ** RUSSIA [non].

(VV) CALENDAR OF RADIO ===================== History of Belgorod Radio. ------------------------------------------- Today we recall the frequency with a difficult history, which ended well. In September 2000, at a frequency of 106.3 MHz, "Chanson" appeared, quickly becoming a favorite radio channel for public transport drivers. Radio "Chanson", created by the natives of the Russian media group, implemented the direction, which was pushed to the far corner by "Russian radio". In Belgorod, although the station was criticized, they listened, not least because of the local leading, lighter music in the Belorussian air of "Chanson" and the program for applications, which they called quite actively. December 30, 2001 there was castling - 106.3 disabled, and moved the "Chanson" to the place of "Monte Carlo" on 104.2. Soon on 106.3 the test broadcast of the Mayak-24 radio channel began, but it did not last long until August 20, 2002. "Mayak-24" is an informational-conversational radio station, distinguished primarily by the availability of newscasts every 15 minutes. In Belgorod, the news was added a considerable amount of music format radio "Monte Carlo." During the next 6 years there was no news about the frequency. On April 24, 2008, a competition at 106.3 MHz was won by Gamma RV LLC. Then the concept was assumed by student radio, but in 1.5 years the Moscow station was closed, and instead of it the work "Kommersant Fm" began. The competition was won when even in Moscow there was nothing. After some time, "Gamma" launches the station "Newton Fm", which only temporarily covers the Moscow frequency, in order to then start broadcasting on it what was originally intended - radio "Kommersant". For this year on "Newton" managed to create several entertainment programs of different quality with the former and current participants of the project "Comedy Club". With the goal of PR, the leadership took various steps, the final was the fight between the guest of the air and the music editor of the station. But it is worth noting the high level of musical content, most of the novelties of music first appeared here. Soon most of the programs were closed, the leading ones dispersed to other stations. After several months of automatic broadcasting, Kommersant radio operated on the frequency. The fate of the Belgorod frequency 106.3 remained suspended - Moscow refused to broadcast, the partners offering their services also left, the original format was closed. The situation will be solved only in a year. April 4, 2012 "Belgorod Media Group" gives Belgorod residents a spring present - at 106.3 appears "Retro Fm". On the air of "Retro Fm" only the best music of the 70s, 80s and 90s sounds. Soon there appears the Belgorod program on the applications of "Felichita". Attempts to bring the format of "retro" to our city began in 2001, when 100.9 passed the test inclusion of the then prototype of the present station - the radio "Retro". Since then, the media group has been coming out with this format for almost every contest of the Ministry of Education. And each time someone else won. Now the problem was solved by buying the frequency from the former winner of the competition 3 years ago.
