(Dmitry Kutuzov, Ryazan, Russia / "deneb-radio-dx") * * The poll of the best radio station of 2017 -------------------------------------------------- ------ Friends! I decided to change the survey conditions a little. This year, you can specify five radio stations. Who do not listen to so many radio stations, you can specify only three or even two. Radio stations will be credited accordingly with 5 and 4 points. Here survey conditions: I propose to determine the best radio station for 2017 according to the version of our group. If there is a desire, indicate the top five of the most liked radio stations broadcasting in Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian. The criterion of choice is simple, which station did you most listen to this year and which transmission is more just liked. International radio stations (plus internal broadcasting) working on medium and short waves, if anyone listens religious, you can specify them. For the first place of the station will be credited-5 points, for the second-4, for the third-3 points, for the fourth - 2 and for the fifth - 1. We sum up the results after the new year. Let me remind you that in 2010 the best radio station (according to our group) Radio Sweden. In 2011 - International Spanish Radio. In 2012 - International radio of Taiwan. In 2013, 2014 and 2016 - the World Radio KBS. AT 2015 - Radio of Japan. For comparison, I will indicate how many people took part in the survey by years: 2010 - 13 2011 - 25 2012 - 34 2013 - 35 2014 - 22 2015 - 21 2016 - 26 (Dmitry Kutuzov, Ryazan, Russia / "deneb-radio-dx") RUSSIA ======= Moscow ---------- One of the most popular and actively developing radio stations in the country - "Russkoe Radio" - on December 13 opens a large multimedia studio that allows you to conduct broadcasts in a television radio format!

This was said by the general producer of "Ukrainian Radio" Dmitry Khorkin, reports "Crimea.Realii". "For three years now, the Russian-language edition of the Ukrainian Radio has been running, where Russian-language programs about Ukraine for the residents of the occupied part of Donbass, the border regions of Ukraine with the Russian Federation of the Crimea and Sevastopol are on the way. We have Ukrainian-language programs. Now we are trying to make a good, permanent we are looking for partners, because there are not so many leading and announcers who speak Crimean Tatar, "said Dmitry Khorkin. He added that this language requires special preservation and dissemination. "Ukrainian Radio" on the average AM wave frequency of 549 kHz can be heard in Dzhankoysky, Pervomaisky districts of Crimea and in the territory of the Kerch peninsula. Dmitry Khorkin explained that this transmitter is evening, when the sun goes down, and there is no interference, the signal is audible far away. It is important that the radio can be easily caught, this requires a simple receiver and batteries. Recall, on the air of the "Ukrainian Radio" broadcasts "Radio Crimea. Reality." Earlier, Sergei Kostinsky reported that in the Crimea, "Ukrainian Radio / Radio Crimea. Realia" is broadcasting on the peninsula at frequencies of 549 kHz and 100.7 MHz. We will add, the Ukrainian broadcasting from the TV-radio tower, which is located near the checkpoint Chongar in the Kherson region, reaches the suburb of Sudak in an anonymous Crimea (Source: Portal "Public Broadcasting").

Mass media --- What does Radio Union State broadcast? -------------------------------------------------- ------------- For the sixth month on the territory of Russia, allied radio programs are aired on the waves of the radio station "Komsomolskaya Pravda" - until July 1, the broadcast was conducted on Radio Russia. How is the program grid now built? What new does this give the listener? And in general what is the audience of the union radio? We are talking about this with his leader, Nikolai Efimovich. - Where can you listen to your radio today? We do not have our own radio station. We, according to the law, as a state organization, hold competitions for broadcasting. Since July 1 of this year in Russia, allied radio programs are aired on the waves of the federal radio station "Komsomolskaya Pravda" at a frequency of 97.2 in the largest cities of the country (more than 200 in the broadcasting zone). In Minsk, our partner is the First National Channel Belarusian Radio. There we have two programs with a total time 45 minutes - "Belarus - Russia" and "Minsk - Moscow". "Who is your listener?" This is a person with an active life position, constantly demanding the most prompt and accurate information, and therefore preferring information radio stations. It is clear that these are people who are keenly interested in everything that is happening around them, and those who have relatives in Belarus, some from there, many rest, travel by Sineokaya. In addition, you do not forget that there are a lot of Belarusian diasporas all over Russia. In the Union State is actually a common labor market, in Russia thousands of Belarusians are working now. In addition, we share common historical and cultural roots. Every week on Radio KP, the audience is measured: who and what listens most. A number of allied programs - "Our People", "Second Motherland", "State Interest" - on the ratings are on par with popular broadcasts of Radio KP itself. This is encouraging and encouraging. - How do you take the audience? We simply try to speak the same language with our listeners, give them the information that they can not find on any other radio station, we invite interesting people to the air, we tell about those events that are of primary interest to our people. - And what changes in the content did happen? Yes, almost everything has changed! We completely reformed and modernized our radio content. First, since July 1, 2017, the volume of broadcasting has radically changed. The number of broadcasts of programs increased more than twofold: there were 14 outlets a week, and it was 44. The total broadcasting time increased by one and a half times - before that it was 85 minutes a week, it was 200. The entire radio network is filled with new programs - "Our People", "Second Motherland", "Union Poster", "State Interest", "Announcements of Allied Media", "News of the Union State". The most significant events in the Union, the resonant news, interviews with experts and correspondents from the scene - our leading and the journalists of the allied media, whom we actively involve in cooperation, provide a complete information picture of the past seven days. - And who peeps to you on the air? Yes, it is difficult to list all. This is the State Secretary of the Union State, Grigory Rapota, and the deputies of the Parliamentary Assembly, and the Ambassador of Belarus to Russia Igor Petrishenko, and Petr Elfimov - the popular Belarusian singer, winner of the festival "Slavonic Bazaar 2004", and Oksana Solopova - chairman of the Belarusian Belarusians of Moscow, and Ales Kozhedub is a writer and many others. - What else has changed the main partner for you? The ability to broadcast to Russia - from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok. To create all the opportunities to react quickly and flexibly to the constantly changing information agenda. Programs on the subject of the Union State are prepared for the air on the eve of the release, which excludes the possibility to skip current topics and events. By the way, if you could not or did not manage to hear our programs on the radio, you should not worry: on the website of "Komsomolskaya Pravda", where the radio is constantly broadcast, the programs that are on the air are uploaded. - I can not restrain myself from the traditional question: what are the plans for the future? In 2018, we plan to keep the volume of broadcasting. Perhaps, some more new interesting programs will be added. And, by the way, we will have more partners. rg.ru http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__67728/ (Rus-DX 10 Dec via DXLD) ** CRIMEA [and non]. In the Crimea they promised to stop broadcasting of the Ukrainian radio. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Domestic Politics, Information and Communications of the Republic of Crimea Dmitry Polonsky said that the peninsula will tighten measures to combat Ukrainian broadcasting. His words lead portal "Crimean News." "There are measures that any state takes to protect its territory and its information space. They are made methodically, and until the end of this year will be strengthened - this is unambiguous. On the territory of the Crimea, except for Russian television and radio channels, no one will not be broadcasting, "Polonsky said. He added that the Ukrainian side "makes various attempts to organize regular broadcasting from the capacities that they are trying to deploy in the Kherson region." "Another question is that they can not do anything. If there are any episodic bursts, then they quickly stop, "- said the minister. November 23, a member of the National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio Broadcasting Sergei Kostinsky in Faceboook said that the power of digital television broadcasting from the Chongar tower in the Kherson region to Crimea has increased. According to Kostinsky, the television signal spreads over the territory of the Dzhankoysky and Krasnoperekopsky districts of the Crimea, and also goes beyond them. In total, according to the estimates of the National Council, access to the air of the Ukrainian TV channel "UA: Crimea", "Channel 5", ICTV, Black Sea TRC and "Direct" received 200 123 residents of the peninsula. In January, in the village of Chongar, Kherson region, on the border with the Crimea, the construction of a 150-meter tower was completed, with the help of which Ukrainian TV channels and radio had to broadcast on the territory of the peninsula. lenta.ru http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__67754/ (Rus-DX 10 Dec via DXLD) U.K.(non), Frequency change of BBC Korean Service from Dec 9 1530-1830 NF 7395*SNG 250 kW / 025 deg to NEAs, ex 9940 PHT //freqs 5895 DB 250 kW / 072 deg & 7530 TAC 100 kW / 068 deg * co-ch CRI English/Hindi 1530-1700 UT and German 1800-1830 UT http://swldxbulgaria.blogspot.bg/2017/12/frequency-change-of-bbc-korean-service.html (Ivo Ivanov, SWLDXBulgaria News, December 10-11, dxldyg via DXLD) ** KYRGYZSTAN.

A decision was made to stop testing of terrestrial digital broadcasting (DAB +) - the National Council for Electronic Media (NSESMI) of the country decided that this format will not be introduced. Tests were started in October 2016. At that time, it was reported that for the community digital radio would mean better signal quality, as well as the ability to listen to programs throughout Latvia. In turn, for radio stations, the transition to digital broadcasting had to cut costs, since analogue broadcasting, existing at the moment, allows only one program to be transmitted on one frequency, and up to eighteen for digital broadcasting. Mikus Karlsons, a technology specialist, on the air of Latvijas Radio explained that the terrestrial digital broadcasting system (DAB +) has a lot of advantages. For example, when traveling by car to different places in the country, to continue listening to the desired station, you do not need to switch from frequency to frequency, and when listening you can see information about the song on the air and its performer. In addition, the police in their work can use digital broadcasting to broadcast a variety of information for drivers. Carlsons noted that if the NSESM decides not to switch to DAB + now, it probably will not happen. The main reasons for refusing to introduce DAB + in Latvia are two: this process will cost several million euros (from taxpayers' funds), and will require each listener to change the receiver. In addition, in Latvia, a very good Internet, the country is gradually moving to 5G, which means that radio stations will have more opportunities in different formats to transfer their programs. https://vk.com/dxingradio (via Rus-DX 10 Dec via DXLD) ** RUSSIA.

Next year, another news radio station will appear in Moscow - the National News Service. It plans to launch "Multimedia Holding" senator Vitaly Bogdanov instead of Best FM at 100.5 FM. Conversational radio is a risky and expensive business, in Moscow such stations have not been launched for several years. "Multimedia Holding" (MMH) senator from the Kursk region Vitaly Bogdanov reformat the music station Best FM, told the interlocutors of "b" in several radio holdings. Instead, at the frequency of 100.5 FM in the new year, the national news service "National News Service" (NNS) will launch on the basis of the news agency of the same name, which produces news for MMX radio stations. "The results of Best FM are not very good, and NSO rose to its feet as a news agency, and it became possible for her to come up with spoken content as a separate station," one of the interlocutors of Kommersant explains. Moscow frequency 100.5 FM is registered at Radio Russia - Nostalgie LLC. On November 1, this company registered the "National News Service" media as a radio channel, indicated in the register of Roskomnadzor, but the broadcasting license has not been reissued yet. In addition to Moscow and the Moscow region, Best FM broadcasts in Arkhangelsk, Ussuriysk and Achinsk. The informed interlocutor of "Kommersant" says that the NSC plans to broadcast in all these cities, the launch of a new format is scheduled for January 20. Initially, the launch of the NNS radio was planned for an earlier date - December 6. At the conference of the Russian Academy of Radio in November, the vice-president of the MMH and the editor-in-chief of the IA NNS, Sergei Gorbachev, called the interlocutors of Kommersant. Announcing the new format, he said that the station will be oriented to listeners over 40 years old. Vitaly Bogdanov told Kommersant that it is too early to speak about the format of the restart of Best FM. Best FM has been broadcasting since 2004, replacing Ultra radio. Initially, the station broadcast only foreign music, in August 2015, Russian executors were added to the air, which complained of difficulties with rotations on the "Russian radio". In August-October Best FM in Moscow on average listened to 194 thousand people. The station is in the fifth ten by audience in Moscow. There are ten information stations in the capital. According to Mediascope, their daily coverage in August-October 2017 was 30% of students over 12 years old. Spending on spoken radio is several times more expensive than for music, recalls the head of one of the holdings. Such formats have not entered the market for a long time - the last was the radio "Says Moscow" by Mikhail Gutseriev, launched in February 2014. In March 2015, the information station "City FM" Gazprom-Media was closed, the holding explained that it was too expensive. Similar to the NSN information radio "Russian News Service" (RSN) was the "Russian Media Group", one of the founders of which was Vitaly Bogdanov. In 2011, RNC bought the National Media Group and transferred Aram Gabrelyanova, managing media manager, who launched "Life Sound" on this frequency. In 2017, Mr. Gabrelyanov stopped operating the station, now it broadcasts the soundtrack of the IzG channel, owned by the NMG. "With news formats in Moscow is not just an overload - they are the same as twin brothers. The station of general news can no longer be done, because there are strong players, for example, "Vesti FM" with a corset around the world. It is not clear that the new station will be sold to the listener. To play talk radio, you need star leading, it's always a big expense, "says one of the creators of Business FM Yegor Altman. The last two years Vitaly Bogdanov considered the possibility of selling MMH business, several top managers of media companies say to Kommersant. In addition to Best FM and NNS news agency, the holding includes "Our radio", Rock FM, "Radio Jazz", TV channel "Our TV" and other assets. MMH offered co-owner of UMMC and "European Media Group" Andrei Bokarev, shareholder of the group "Safmar" and several radio stations Mikhail Gutseriev, as well as Gazprom-media, a source familiar with the proposal told Kommersant. According to him, the whole holding was estimated at 4.5 billion rubles. (about $ 75 million at today's rate). Buyers at such a price was not found, interlocutors say.

RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT BARS RADIO FREE EUROPE AND VOICE OF AMERICA FROM PREMISES --- By David Filipov https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/russia-names-9-media-organizations-as-foreign-agents-including-voice-of- america/2017/12/05/7aac7eb4-d98d-11e7-a841-2066faf731ef_print.html MOSCOW -- Russia's lower house of parliament on Wednesday banned Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty from entering its premises, a day after the Russian government declared the organizations "foreign agents." The 413-1 vote by the Russian State Duma to ban the outlets came as Moscow followed through on its promise to retaliate for similar U.S. actions against the English-language Russian network RT, which Russian leaders characterize as an assault on freedom of the press. Congress rescinded the accreditation of RT, previously known as Russia Today, last month after the Justice Department required that it register as a foreign agent under a 1938 law because of its alleged role in interfering in U.S. affairs and the 2016 presidential campaign by pushing the Kremlin's agenda. On Tuesday, the Russian Ministry of Justice published a list of nine outlets, which includes Russian-language subsidiaries of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty that cover the Caucasus region of Russia, Crimea, Siberia, and two predominantly Muslim regions in central Russia, Tatarstan and Bashkortostan. Also designated were Current Time TV, which is produced by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, and Factograph, a website produced by Radio Liberty. The affiliates are not banned from the Duma, however. The ministry statement did not mention any specific restrictions on the media outlets. RT disputes that it is an agent of the Russian government, arguing that it offers alternatives to mainstream news coverage, and Russian leaders vowed to respond in kind. "We didn't start this theater of the absurd," Maria Zakharova, a Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, said Monday at a Duma hearing. "But we have to respond to it." Russia's law on foreign agents, which in the past has been used on nongovernmental organizations critical of the Kremlin, requires the organizations to label their publications as coming from a foreign agent. The Russian government recently designated a union of truckers protesting highway tolls as a foreign agent. A bill extending that law to media organizations was signed by President Vladimir Putin last month. [Russian legislators pass law targeting international media as `foreign agents'] [caption? Or link] On Tuesday, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty quoted its president, Thomas Kent, as saying he had received no details about what the foreign agent designation will mean. "So far, the full nature of these limitations is unknown. We will study carefully all communications from the ministry and other Russian official organizations," Kent said in a video statement. "At the same time, we remain committed to continuing our journalistic work in the interests of providing accurate and objective news to our Russian-speaking audiences." Voice of America and Radio Free Europe were created during the Cold War to broadcast news to the closed societies of the Soviet Union and the Communist countries in its orbit. [VOA was created BEFORE the Cold War --- gh] Russian leaders say that in the drama surrounding RT, they are the ones defending democracy. "We are not interested in limiting freedom of speech and the rights of foreign journalists," said Olga Savastyanova, who heads the Duma commitee that proposed the ban on the U.S. media outlets. She said the lower house was forced to make the move by "unfair, undemocratic" decisions by Congress that "violate international principles of human rights," motivated by "fear of the objective information and truth produced by our journalists." The upper house of parliament, the Federation Council, passed a similar decision on Tuesday to bar U.S. journalists working for foreign-agent media outlets from visiting the upper house of the Russian parliament.

Last time I wrote to this station about five years ago. A couple of years I got QSL, so I did not expect any letters. And so: their QSL card, where it is written that the report is confirmed, although no details are given, and - and this is the main thing, on which the message is stressed - that the station is destroyed by hurricane Irma, but the owners are going to restore it. Apparently, the station decided to inform its listeners that it does not work. But why on QSL cards? That's what happens! That answer will not wait for years, but here it is!

We caught her by chance. It turned out that it still sounds in four settlements of the Moscow Region and the Stavropol Territory, and by May next year it will cover 70 cities. Ambitious plans. What was our surprise when it became clear that this federal radio station was created by a team from Chuvashia! We went straight to the director, Alexander Filippov, to find out what prompted him to start a radio business and how it was possible to develop the network so swiftly. Our roads have long been a part of national culture and philosophy. How many invented jokes about their quality, how many songs written about their range. They are scolded, but any of us would not mind jumping into the car, adjusting your favorite FM-wave and dashing off into the sunset for good music. This year, a new radio station appeared in the radio receivers Tsivilska and Yadrin - "Radio Rodnykh Dorog". We caught her by chance. It turned out that it still sounds in four settlements of the Moscow Region and the Stavropol Territory, and by May next year it will cover 70 cities. Ambitious plans. What was our surprise when it became clear that this federal radio station was created by a team from Chuvashia! We went straight to the director, Alexander Filippov, to find out what prompted him to start a radio business and how it was possible to develop the network so swiftly. Since 2014, he has been developing the "Radio Rodnykh Dorog" in our republic. But then the station replaced two owners, the staff disbanded, the remaining employees were unaware of what would happen tomorrow. Alexander decided to take matters into his own hands. Radio is a living organism, they always need to study - Sasha, this is not the first radio station where you work. The market is saturated. How did you understand that you need to start your own business? - Alexander: After the change of owners and the reorganization of the St. Petersburg team ("Radio Rodnykh Dorog" originally from St. Petersburg) has already begun to look for work. I had a bright idea in my mind to take advantage of the skills of these guys, their experience in building a federal network, and acquaintances. And then I invited them to Cheboksary, announced my plans, told that the project is complex, it requires huge labor and financial costs, but there will be no problems with the investor. They were for. The only thing they refused to move to Cheboksary, kinship ties did not allow them to do so. Therefore, it was decided that "Radio Rodnykh Dorog" will have a legal entity in Cheboksary, and the Department of Regional Development will be located in St. Petersburg. - To start a radio business now, when everyone in social networks and every year increasingly turn to traditional media? - Alexander: Yes, I agree. But it's no secret that if you go somewhere in Yadrin, they still read newspapers, listen to the radio and use satellite dishes to watch TV. We conducted a lot of marketing research. The first question was: which audience to work for? Yes, people from 18 to 30 years old do not listen to the radio. Youth formats are heavily sagging in the audience and, accordingly, become uninteresting to the advertiser. Therefore now, in order to place advertisements on radio stations 18-30, they use digital technology: via VKontakte, Yutub, Instagram and others. We also decided that people 30 plus is our everything. They have everything in their lives, they are uncomfortable downloading updates, they are used to listening to music on the radio, and this suits them. This is for us. Let it disperse all your troubles on the radio of your native roads - And people for 30 well know Valery Syutkin. So he became the face of your radio station? - Alexander: We remembered Syutkin's song "Radio night roads" when they came up with the name. In itself, it does not suit us very much. Twisted, turned and came to the option "Radio home roads." Patriotically and topically. Then it was necessary to solve the questions with authorship. We met with Valery Meladovich in Moscow, told us about our ideas. He turned out to be a friendly person. He liked everything, and he just fits into the project. Said: "In general, there are no problems, you can use my face, the song" Radio night roads ", even tomorrow I'll come to the studio and rewrite it on" Radio home roads ". "Is this so easy and free?" - Alexander: We have an agreement with him on mutually beneficial promotion. He is interested in this as a person who is promoting "Syutkin Band" now. They perform with him through the cities. - So it was too expensive? - Alexander: All right. It is more expensive than we expected, but at the same time we realized that it is very necessary for us. Although initially we went with a proposal to just remake the anthem. Stars of this level have a fix-price for any body movement, for entering into business relations. We agreed with him. And now between us only mutually beneficial cooperation. For example, we plan to invite Valery to open a radio in major cities. - In Cheboksary you will not be? Have you intentionally bypassed your native capital or simply could not get a frequency? - Alexander: October 25 there was a competition. We presented our concept in the Ministry of Information Policy of Chuvashia. 13 radio stations participated. Two frequencies were played. It is necessary to understand that the state interests will always be above all, therefore others have passed. This, of course, is not the last contest. While in Chuvashia, we are represented only in the districts. -And on the satellite? - Alexander: From July 1 we are broadcasting to Tricolor TV. There's a very large audience. For the first two months we have already entered the top 10 by the audience and while we are maintaining these positions. In general, we have an average of 40,000 unique connections per day. - You started in February this year. 70 coverage cities by May of next - is this a real figure? - Alexander: Yes. In these cities the frequencies have already been received. The most difficult was to enter the Moscow region. There you need to coordinate everything with the Ministry of Defense and FSO. - Chuvash cities, except Tsivilsk and Yadrin, will be included in your list? - Alexander: Kanash, Alatyr, Shumerlya, Batyrevo will enter. And Kozlovka still. It has a very complex terrain, and the Chuvash media practically do not broadcast there. The maximum signal reaches from Volzhsk or Kazan. And we got a frequency there. With the help of it we will cover a large cluster: Kozlovka, Zelenodolsk, Volzhsk, a piece of the route from the exit from Kazan to the Krasnogorsk turn to Cheboksary. In March, we introduced Kozmodemyansk into the license. Economically, people there are still more attached to Cheboksary than to Yoshkar-Ola. Three majors, two minor - What will be the broadcast? What will we hear by switching on the wave? - Alexander: The power of the hour is clearly thought out. Our position: there must be three major compositions, and then two minor ones. So the listener will not get tired of either one or the other. To determine the format, we gathered a focus group of one hundred people from different regions of Russia. 50% of women, 50% of men over 30 years old. They asked them a question: "What are we going to listen to?" They dropped songs that they liked within a week. The most interesting, among their preferences was only 5-7% of foreigners. So we left: on the air 95% of Russian music and 5% foreign. Among the answers of the focus group there were very few "Mirages" and Shatunovs. If you remember - it's all purely producer projects, not talent. Therefore, we have a tough position: we do not play this kind of music. Only sincere, awesome, classy, talented performers. - And the program? - Alexander: We are a music radio station. We have short programs. The concept: for a minute and a half to tell about the main thing. This car news, sports news, a program about the cinema. Another one of our idea is "Russian streets". In the issues we will talk about the names of the streets of the cities where we broadcast, and interesting facts. Broadcasting in each city will be special: individual design of the air, local advertising, hourly local news. We also have an agreement with the studio "Soyuz". Remember, they released music collections on cassettes? So, before some songs there will be a pile, where it is said, from which collection of the year this song is. - In the advertising booklet it is written that you have an emphasis on sound quality. Do not all now focus on this? - Alexander: We specially developed our sound together with Hans from the German audio corporation. They are under us or, as they say, "under your strange Russian music," they wrote a special preset. There is a lot of old content on "Radio Rodnykh Dorog", which was simply rewritten, digitized from records. By modern standards, it is of poor quality. Such music should be pulled out, and special processors do it. Then the radio sounds nicely laconic, does not create any discomfort. Many broadcasters are just too lazy to do it. But in fact, when you switch to another radio station and realize that something is not right, then you are looking for another in the search, which is the most profitable sound. - 70 cities are not the limit, right? - Alexander: Of course, our task is to quickly build a network due to an inexpensive franchise. Three years will go to work with partners and unwind. Federal radio stations often choke regional partners with a very expensive franchise. But their task is simply to repel money, and we are fans of the radio and in their time themselves suffered, so we want our partners in the regions to feel comfortable. Then they can devote more time to their own development. And the listener will be grateful for that. Cheb.media (http://www.radioportal.ru/news/rodnye-dorogi-vedut-v-chuvashiyu) * Mediagroup "The First Region" is the largest broadcasting holding of the South of Russia. -------------------------------------------------- ----- The history of the media group began in 2005, with the opening of the radio station "Russian Radio - Maykop". To date, the group "First Region" is 40 operating radio stations broadcasting in 18 cities and large populated areas of the Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea. The "First Region" media group unites 9 radio radios: the popular federal stations "Russian Radio", DFM, Hit FM, "Europe Plus", Retro FM, "Dorozhnoe Radio", "Radio Chanson", "Novoe Radio" and the rapidly growing radio station "Govorit Maykop" Since 2007, "First Region" is the representative of the largest Russian media-seller - Vi, "Video International". We place advertisements on federal TV channels "First Channel", "Russia". The media group also includes a production studio for the creation of audio and video clips. We cooperate with the most experienced Russian experts - scriptwriters, sound engineers, video designers, federal broadcasters. Journalists of the media group "First Region" won more than once in regional and federal professional competitions. (http://1region.ru/about.html) * Roskomnadzor allowed to put on the radio a song about a smoking grandmother ----------------------------------------- Radio stations can broadcast musical songs, which describe the process of smoking, without warning of a bad habit. The law obliges to give such a social advertisement only to TV channels. Such curious details were revealed today during a training seminar for the media in the Situation Center of Roskomnadzor in Moscow, the correspondent of RIA Novyi Den reports. Recall that anti-tobacco restrictions for broadcasters have been operating in Russia since 2014. If there is a scene with a demonstration of smoking in the program, film, series or clip, the TV channels should warn the audience about it. The format of social advertising TV men can choose independently, and more often they use an information insert before the beginning of the program, or a running line. This practice has settled on federal channels, but small regional broadcasters still have questions. For example, today one of the listeners of the Roskomandzor seminar asked if the television station would complain about the lack of a warning to the film, where the Indians lit up the pipe of peace. Employees of the department said that everything depends on the scene itself - is there a clear demonstration of smoking, exhaling smoke and so on. Then radiks joined the discussion of the acute topic. "And if we put a song on the radio, where there are words" my grandmother smokes a pipe, "should we also warn the listeners?" - asked the seminar participant from Novosibirsk. The question was unexpected and disconcerted the employees of Roskomnadzor. The employee of the central department of the department, Alexander Izhko, suggested that, according to the logic of the law, a warning should be given, since the text of regulatory acts specifies restrictions on audiovisual products, but still asked him to give him some time to think about the matter. After a pause, the official said that the obligation of social advertising on the dangers of smoking songs on the radio is not relevant, since the definition of "audiovisual products" is used only for TV channels. Many participants in the seminar sighed with relief after this answer. Valentina Yaroslavtseva, newdaynews.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__67814/) 73!
