Naberezhnye Chelny. ---------------------------------------------------------- Yesterday at a meeting of the federal competitive commission for television and radio broadcasters, winners of contests for free FM frequencies in Naberezhnye Chelny were determined. As expected, they were Muscovites: "Our Radio" and Love Radio. The first radio station will start broadcasting at 95.9 MHz, and the second - at 97.5 MHz. By the way, two Chelny players, Radio Record and Radio Chelny Media Holding, also participated in the contest, but the concept of broadcasting that they proposed did not seem to appeal to the competition commission, the preference was given to the feds. It is curious that today the frequencies of 93.7 MHz and 94.1 MHz in Almetyevsk were to be played, however, applications for them to the competitive commission were not received. Perhaps the reason for this was a high one-time fee of 5.1 million rubles and a competitive contribution of 102 thousand, which for regional players is a significant expense. According to the available practice, the radio station that won the contest starts broadcasting on the frequency not earlier than in a year. The beneficiary of OOO Nashe Radio is Vitaly Bogdanov, a member of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation. In 2010, the senator formed the Multimedia Holding, which now includes Our Radio, Rock FM, Ultra (works in Internet broadcasting mode), Radio Jazz, and the Russian news agency National News Service. Revenue only "Our radio" for 2016 amounted to 182.2 million rubles, although, the company's losses - 4.8 million. The second winner is "Love Radio Network" LLC, the final beneficiary of which is Mikhail Gutseriev, the owner of Russneft, which is included in the list of 200 richest businessmen of Russia, occupying the 20th line in 2017 with the state of $ 9.91 billion. Recall that in late 2013, Gutseriev bought from the producer Igor Krutoy 75% of his holding company Krutoy Media, and also bought Finam FM from businessman Viktor Remshi. In 2014, two new radio stations of the Gutseriev holding company, not previously presented in the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan - Radio Dacha and Taxi FM began broadcasting in Kazan. At the same time, with the launch of these radio stations, Krutoy Media Holding opened a full-fledged branch in Kazan, the second in the country after St. Petersburg. business-gazeta.ru (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__68760/) Tverskaya oblast. ------------------------ Regional programs of Radio Russii will soon be able to listen to more and more residents of the Tver region. Since April, the main state radio station has been broadcasting its broadcasting into the FM band. Its signals will sound at new frequencies, the broadcast on the previous frequencies of the VHF band will cease. Residents of the region can receive the freshest federal and regional news every hour. A large-scale project of the transition of "Radio of Russii" to the FM-band in the Upper Volga Region is being carried out by the regional radio and television broadcasting center. Today in 22 cities of the region there is a test broadcast of transmitters. Additionally 7 objects are constructed. Coverage programs "Radio Russii", including local, today is already 88%. Now, the main office of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company is negotiating the construction of 9 additional broadcasting points to ensure that the transmitters are located in each regional center of the Tver region. Then the federal and local programs of Radio Russii will be able to listen to everyone in the region. "We want to make sure that when you get into the car in the city of Toropets, you include your favorite program of Radio Russii and go to Tver, automatically, when you come to the Western Dvina, your receiver was rebuilt, remaining on the same program, but changing to another one frequency, and so it would be repeated throughout the entire route, while you are coming here. "We will try to do all this until the end of the year," said Pavel Antipov, director of the RTRS branch of Tver ORTPTS. For each municipality of the Upper Volga region, its own transmission frequency has been determined. Since April 1, the programs of "Radio Russii" in the FM-range will come out with local and regional blocks. In White, you can find the broadcast by tuning radios, at a frequency of 107.1 megahertz, in Bologoy at 99.2, in Vesyegonsk - at 107.9. In the Zharkovsky district, the FM frequency of "Radio Rossii" will be 104.1 megahertz, in Zapadnodvinsk - 105.1. Frequency is also determined for Kashin, Kimr, Maksatihi, Nelidovo, Rzhev, Zubtsov districts, Toropets and other cities and regions closer to the regional capital. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qwBc4IQj8o http://vesti-tver.ru/news/novosti-raionov/s-aprelya-2018-goda-veshchanie-regionalnykh-programm-_radio-rossii_- perekhodit-v-fm_diapazon/?sphrase_id=199132 (https://vk.com/vcfm2014) UKRAINE ======== On March 29, the National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio Broadcasting summed up the results of the competition for digital broadcasting in the T-DAB (DAB +) standard, announced on December 27, 2017. The competition was put up 14 places in a digital multiplex, which will work on the basis of two transmitters of the RRT Concern in Kiev. The applications were filed by 10 radio stations - they all won the competition: Radio Maria, Old Fashioned Radio, Zemlya, Hype Radio, FM Country, First Digital, Ukrainian Radio, Ray, Culture and Meydan ". The National Council unanimously supported them. Radio Maria (TRK IF Media Group) is a Catholic radio that broadcasts in 77 countries around the world. In Ukraine they work since 2010, they broadcast on 9 frequencies of VHF band. In the world "Radio Maria" broadcasts also in digital, so it is interested to develop this technology in Ukraine. Old Fashioned Radio (OOO Vozdvizhenka Art's House) and Zemlya (BW Charitable Foundation "Meydeyart") broadcast in 2015 on the Internet on the OFR.fm platform. This platform features four streams - Jazz & Blues, Rock, Zemlya (about modern Ukrainian culture), Show & Music, which together have an audience of over 100 thousand users a month. Old Fashioned Radio creates events, has a jazz club, creates informational special projects about the festival and cultural events, organizes open events and broadcasts of concerts. The owner of the radio stations is gallery owner Viktor Savkyv. The OFR.fm team decided to obtain digital licenses for its two streams - Old Fashioned Radio and Zemlya. "We need a figure to reach a more mass audience, the Internet has its advantages and limitations," the representative of the radio station explained. Hype Radio (LLC "Consensus Media") is a new project, whose director is Andrei Solomakha. The owner of the company is the singer Santa Dimopoulos. According to Mr. Solomakhi, she became interested in the digital radio project and decided to prepare a radio station concept. The format of the radio is IDM (electronic intellectual dance music). The radio station is conceived as a platform for Ukrainian DJs who work in clubs and are interested in going outside the clubs. "FM Country" (ZAO "Gala") has been broadcasting since November 9, 2015 in the FM band, the network covers 29 cities (14 frequencies - the former "Gala-radio" network, another 15 frequencies won last year). The concept of the radio station is 100% Ukrainian language and Ukrainian music. According to the representatives of the company, the owners of "FM Country" in the Netherlands have long worked in the DAB + standard, therefore they decided to develop digital radio in Ukraine. In particular, Hristo Grozev (one of the owners) is a participant in the world association of digital radio WorldDAB. "The first digital" (LLC "Kiev Digital Radio") is a new company that, through its mission, sees the popularization of Ukrainian culture and encouragement of citizens to critical thinking. One of the values of the radio station is patriotism. Music is planned on the air, as well as programs of various thematic genres, for example, the gear cycles under the working titles "Songs of Our Struggle" (songs of Cossacks, UPA, insurgents and soldiers), "Ukrainian Music and Peace" (about Ukrainian classical and academic music in context world), "Entertaining Classics" (about outstanding composers and performers of Ukraine and the world), "Age and Time" (actual interviews with historians, public figures on topical social and political problems). Director and owner - scientist Vladimir Omelchuk - said that he has money for the radio station from his scientific work. The team that is working on the radio station is attached to the creation of projects on special services for UATV, ICTV, have agreements on cooperation with the Writers' Union, with the State Photophonoarch. "Ukrainian Radio", "Ray" and "Culture" (PAO NTU) are three public National Public Radio stations of the TV and Radio Company of Ukraine. "Now the company is underfunded by 50% of what the law requires, but continues to work in accordance with the strategy.We are strategically interested in maximizing the dissemination of content, including through digital radio.We will redistribute costs, abandon certain frequencies and resources for the benefit of , to start on a digital basis.Today, out of the 300 million UAH that are necessary for us for a year to ensure the broadcasting of all channels of the National Standards and the fulfillment of licensing conditions, we have only 50 million, "said a member of the board of NSUT Kolai Chernotitsky. Chairman of the National Council Yuriy Artemenko stressed that the National Television and Radio Company does not broadcast on frequencies that it shares with other broadcasters, and called for or refuse them, or to restore speech. According to Mr. Chernotitsky, NSDC is planning to abandon these frequencies. Also, the National Council asked the National Technical University to act as a locomotive for the popularization of digital radio. According to Mr. Chernotitsky, about 20 thousand cars in Kiev are equipped with receivers, have the ability to receive a digital signal. Radio stations of the National Statute of Ukraine are exempt from payment of a license fee (this is provided by law). "Meidan" (LLC "Television company" Atlant-SV ") - Crimean Tatar radio station, that in 2014 as a result of the occupation the Crimea lost the opportunity to broadcast on its Crimean frequencies. Since 2016 he has been broadcasting in the Kherson region. The owner is Lenur Islyamov (the owner of the television channel ATR). Representatives of the radio station did not come to the contest. Member of the National Council Sergei Kostinsky said that they lingered on the road, and asked colleagues to support this radio station. To the four places left free, the National Council plans in the near future to announce a second contest to ensure that the pay for the broadcasters of the RRT Concern is less for the work of the transmitters (the pay for the work of the transmitters is divided among all the broadcasters). Recall, on July 27, 2017 the National Council decided to order in the UGTSR miscalculation for the launch of digital radio standard DAB + in Kiev, in order to implement the experiment in Kiev with the launch of digital radio. December 21, the National Council decided to announce a contest for digital radio standard T- DAB (DAB +) in Kiev, and also approved competitive conditions. On December 27, the newspaper Golos Ukrainy published an announcement of the competition of the National Council for Digital Broadcasting in the standard T-DAB (DAB +) in Kiev (Source: Portal "Media detector").
