Two years ago the law of Tajikistan "On the Founder of Peace and National Unity - Leader of the Nation" came into force, which approved the official title for E.Rahmon. vnews.agency (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__67599/) UKRAINE ======== Broadcasting of Ukrainian radio, which occurs on medium waves, through technical features is difficult to muffle due to the use of powerful transmitters. About this "Radio Liberty" said the general producer of "Ukrainian Radio" Dmitry Khorkin. "This AM range, it is very popular in countries with a large territory, including in the US We are working on a transmitter in one thousand four hundred and thirty-one kilohertz, very powerful." Transmitters that operate on medium waves are very powerful, unlike FM- broadcasting, so it is difficult to muffle the middle frequencies.This transmitter operates at a frequency of 549 kilohertz, one transmitter consumes 500 kilowatts, this is a very large capacity, "Mr. Khorkin said. He added that the maintenance of transmitters used to broadcast to the territory of the annexed Crimea, it is necessary about 14 million UAH. for a year. Let's remind, the operator of communications of a television tower in the village of Chongar of the Kherson region increased the broadcasting capacity to the territory of the Crimea annexed by Russia more than threefold - from 0.3 kW to 1 kW. Ukrainian broadcasting from the television and radio tower, which is located near the checkpoint Chongar in the Kherson region, reaches the suburb of Sudak in an anecdotal Crimea (Source: Portal "Detector Media").

TATARSTAN. THE FIRST MUSLIM TELEVISION IN RUSSIA WILL APPEAR IN TATARSTAN BY THE END OF THE YEAR Doom Tatarstan began producing content for the first Muslim television in Russia. First, the project will be implemented on the Internet, by the end of the year, Muslim television will step into the cable networks. As Rimat Khamidullin, an adviser to the Mufti of Tatarstan on information policy, told RBC-Tatarstan, the idea of creating a Muslim television belongs to the mufti of the republic Kamil khazrat Samigullin. "The creation of Muslim television has been spoken for many years. Unfortunately, the problem was not solved. Now the mufti has set before us the task of working in this direction more actively. At the moment, content is being created for television. In the near future we plan to launch a cycle of projects on the Internet, in the future, access to cable television. We also have internet radio "Azan". The implementation of all projects will be completed within a year, "Hamidullin said. The interlocutor of RBC-Tatarstan noted that earlier the Spiritual Board of Muslims of Tatarstan and Tattelecom had begun negotiations on the creation of cable television for disseminating the values of traditional Islam for Russia. As it was noted at the meeting of representatives of the DUM of the republic and the operator, today the Muslim TV channel "Khuzur TV" broadcasts on the Internet, which could be used for cable distribution. Thanks to an agreement with the leadership of TV companies TNV and GTRK "Tatarstan", the Muslim television channel was given the archive of all Islamic programs in the last 20 years in Russian and Tatar. As for the contents of the programs of the Muslim television channel, the emphasis will be placed on educational, anti-extremist and patriotic programs.

FRANCE ======== On the Côte d'Azur of France there is Radio Baikal. Its employees claim that this is the first Russian radio in Europe and expresses confidence that over time this network will spread across all European countries. As Baikal Info informs, the first step has already been taken: in November Radio Baikal will start broadcasting in London. The creator of this radio is Alexander Tyunikov, a well-known person in Irkutsk, one of the founders of the holding "AS" Baikal TV". - Tell us, how did the idea to create such a not quite simple project as Radio Baikal appeared? - I was always interested in the question of why we have foreign radio stations in Russia, for example, such as Energy, "Europe Plus", Nostalgie, and in Europe there is no radio. And when I began to visit Europe more often, I got the idea of creating a Russian radio here. Frequency resource they are completely busy. We have more, because the size of the country allows, and there the state is on the state. They interfere with each other, and it is almost impossible to find a free frequency in the FM band. Therefore, my idea, most likely, would have remained unrealized, if from the year 2015 in Europe the digital radio would not have developed at a fast pace. There was a real chance to go to Europe with your project. And I could not deny myself the pleasure of trying to make my dream come true. First it turned out to launch a Russian-French radio on the French Riviera of France. It still works and is called Nice Radio, that is, Radio Nice. And a year later, a Russian-language "Radio Baikal" was added to it. After that, I had an obsession to launch a Russian- language radio network called Radio Baikal in Europe, and in November I plan to start broadcasting Radio Baikal in London. - Is there any kind of concept in Radio Baikal? - We chose a universal concept: just a Russian-language radio for everyone - from children to the elderly. We have Russian and foreign hits. On weekends, under the heading "Hit Weekend", there are hits of the 70s and 80s for the older generation. Almost every hour there are local and international news, which are written in the studio of media holding "AS" Baikal TV". At the studio in France, French journalists work, which collect local news, prepare material, send it to Irkutsk. We translate them and write them down in Russian. There is a very popular program "Znai our!". On the Côte d'Azur in Monaco, there are a lot of festivals and other events. Many Russian celebrities live here. Accordingly, we invite the stars on the air. The program is broadcast live from five to seven in the evening. The program "Direct Communication" goes online. On a direct connection with the audience is a psychologist. It helps people to solve some controversial issues. For example, a common theme is marriage with foreigners. The concept of the Radio Baikal program in London and in the following European cities will be absolutely the same. - Which cities can you name? - The project "Radio Baikal" is long, very voluminous in terms of finances and time. But the beginning has already been laid, and, I think, the project has a very good prospect. Next in line are Italy, Greece, Austria, the Baltic States and Finland. Russian-language radio abroad is necessary. It desperately needs our compatriots abroad, and just Russian-speaking people. He is listened to in cars, on the Internet. Many people even started buying stationary radios to listen to our radio not only in the car, but also at home. Frankly, I did not even expect that Russian radio is so necessary for our people abroad. - How did the French audience react to the appearance of Radio Baikal? - The French immediately became very interested in our radio and our music. Periodically, messages come with a request to repeat some Russian song. Or they are just interested in the name and the performer. The main difference between Radio Baikal and other radio stations is that it is unique for Europe. It is Russian. In Paris, there is an Armenian radio on the air, but until now in Europe there was no real Russian. - Russian celebrities come to visit you. And were there French or European? "In-Grid came to visit us." She was on Nice Radio and Radio Baikal. All the stars, who come, we try to call to ourselves. Celebrities come to us regularly. There were Igor Ugolnikov, Tatyana Vedeneeva, actor Dmitriy Nazarov, the presenter of the program "The Man and the Law" Alexey Pimanov. If one of the foreign guests comes, then, of course, we remove the "Znai our!" Booklet and just do live broadcasting with it. - How profitable is it to have a radio station in France? - It's unprofitable. Over time, there was advertising, and its number is growing. But, unfortunately, communication services, studio rentals and taxes cover income. They do not allow you to do business. For me, this project is more for the soul than for the business. But with the development of the network, over time, when "Radio Baikal" will be in eighteen or twenty countries and cities, advertising on it will become more expensive. And perhaps this project will become a good business. But now the main thing is that our project at least pays off. - So your main goal in this project is its payback? - My main goal and dream is to launch Radio Baikal across Europe and Russia and make it interesting not only for Russian-speaking radio listeners, but also for all Europeans. And I'm very serious about realizing this dream. baikal-daily.ru http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__67520/ "RUS-DX PLUS" (via Rus-DX 19 Nov via DXLD) ** RUSSIA [and non]. RUSSIA SAYS RADIO FREE EUROPE, VOICE OF AMERICA RISK 'FOREIGN AGENT' TAG --- 16 November 2017 - 18H30 http://www.france24.com/en/20171116-russia-says-radio-free-europe-voice-america-risk-foreign-agent-tag (c) AFP/File | "We will continue our journalistic work," Radio Liberty vowed, defending its "objective and honest" reporting [caption] MOSCOW (AFP) - Russia's justice ministry said Thursday it had warned US-funded Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty they risked being legally forced to label themselves as "foreign agents." The justice ministry said on its website that it had contacted Voice of America and Radio Free Europe as well as a number of their subsidiaries active in Russia on Wednesday and Thursday to warn them "of their possible recognition as 'foreign agents.'" Russia is seeking to impose legal measures after Kremlin-funded RT television, which presents Moscow's take on international affairs, registered itself as a "foreign agent" in the United States under official pressure. The justice ministry confirmed earlier reports in state media citing "informed sources", which said Voice of America and Radio Free Europe risked being targeted. Radio Liberty said in a statement on Wednesday that the Russian law could not be seen as a reciprocal measure as its journalists already face far greater obstacles in Russia than RT does in the United States. "We will continue our journalistic work," it vowed, defending its "objective and honest" reporting. The move came as a law that would pave the way for media to be branded as "foreign agents" has not yet been passed. It was rushed through the lower house of parliament on Wednesday with unanimous backing and is set to be voted on in the Senate. If passed, the Russian law will allow Moscow to target foreign media in the same way it has previously punished NGOs with international funding and "political activities. It would force media organisations to label themselves as "foreign agents" on all paperwork and submit to intensive scrutiny of staffing and financing. Rights groups fear it could have a chilling effect on the ability of outlets to carry out independent reporting. After being passed by the Senate, expected this month, the "foreign agent" law would enter force immediately on being signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists that it would allow Russia to issue "a very harsh response" to attacks on Russian media abroad.

MADE IN ITALY ITALY/ARMENIA IBC Italian Broadcasting Corporation has recently introduced for its Wednesday broadcast to Europe an additional frequency via a new relay station: Yerevan￾Gavar in Armenia. This broadcast, which is in Italian, is scheduled on Wednesdays, from 1900 to 2000 on 5845 kHz and is in parallel with 1584 kHz which is via Radio Studio X in Momigno in the central part of Italy. Radio BCL News has also leased airtime over the transmitter facilities in Armenia and, after having reached an agreement with IBC Italian Broadcasting Corporation, they decided to go on the air on Wednesdays too, from 2000 to 2100. The frequency remains 5845 kHz and the first 30 minutes are filled with the English DX programmes produced by the staff of IBC-Italian Broadcasting Corporation, while from 2130 to 2200 there is the well￾known DX programme in Italian by Roberto Scaglione "Obiettivo DX".

The representative of the National Council in the Kharkiv region, Yevgeny Maslov, noted the need to cover the "blank spots" of television and radio broadcasting in the border areas. The participants decided to appeal to the Chairman of the National Council of Ukraine for Television and Radio Broadcasting, co-chairman of the Commission on Ensuring the Stable Functioning of the National Television and Radio Broadcasting System, acting under the Ministry of Information Policy of Ukraine Yuri Artemenko, with the request to include in the agenda of the Commission the issue of building a new telecommunication tower. This will make it possible to radically change the situation with the broadcasting of Ukrainian media in areas of the region bordering on the Russian Federation ...

The English edition of the "Ukrainian Radio" daily prepares 10-minute social and political programs about Ukraine and the world Ukrainian Perspective ("Ukrainian perspective"), which will be published at 5:10 am Kyiv time (21:10 in Chicago or 22:10 in Toronto), as well as the cultural transfer of The Root ("Root") for the third channel of the radio "Culture". About this on his Facebook page, said the general producer of "Ukrainian Radio" Dmitry Khorkin. "Ukrainian Radio" expects that in Ukraine these programs are listened to by foreigners who live on the territory of the country, tourists and those who study English. Despite the fact that the time for listening on the first channel of "Ukrainian Radio" is very early - 05:10, UR advises listening to programs in social networks and podcasts on the site of "Ukrainian Radio". To this end, UR created a special page in Facebook "UA: radio - English edition of the Ukrainian Radio". "These programs will just sound in the evening for those of our compatriots who live and work in America." According to sociological data, out of 950 000 people from the diaspora in the US only 15% use the Ukrainian language, so they will also receive short broadcasts on occasion In addition, now in Ukraine, two-thirds of the population would like to study (or learn) English. Listening to such programs with good voices of English- speaking speakers will help and tighten up the English, and at the same time stay up to date, "said Dmitry Horkkin. He added that in the English version of the "Ukrainian Radio" only four journalists work, who prepare daily social, political and cultural programs. Recall that in October 2017, the radio "Culture" began broadcasting on the US radio Ukie Drive. We will add, on November 12 a new sketch show "Lifshak in Ukrainian", which has been on the "UA: First" TV channel since the beginning of October, started on the air of the first channel "Ukrainian Radio". The program can be heard on the air of Ukrainian-language radio stations in several US cities (Source: Portal "Public Broadcasting"). http://proradio.org.ua/news/2017nov.php (via Rus-DX 26 Nov via DXLD) How come they don`t say anything about their axual SW broadcasts via WRMI???
