Sport FM. -------------------------------------- The European Media Group (EMG) will change the format of the sports radio station Sport FM, adding more music to the air, Roman Emelyanov, EMG General Director, told Vedomosti. The air will be 80% composed of music, but the main sporting direction of the station will be preserved: the rest of the time will be occupied by sports news, the name of the radio station will not change, he says. Permission to expand the format and increase the musical time EMG has already received from Roskomnadzor, Yemelyanov said. Analysts at the radio station will no longer be, 15-20% of the air is enough to acquaint listeners with the most relevant sports information, he says. But there will be a number of programs about sports, football, e-sports, extreme sports, and so on. The new project EMG Studio 21, aimed at youth music, including rap and hip-hop, will work on the musical component of the radio station. Now the project has a website, and some time ago the format was tested at its own frequencies in Togliatti and Bryansk. The main audience of sports is adults over 30-35 years old, says Yemelyanov. This audience is guided by the main sports media, for example, "Match TV", "Sport Express", etc. "The young audience seemed unreached, so we decided to add more youth culture. This is also beneficial from a commercial point of view, as many sports brands are oriented towards the youth audience, "he says. The radio station "Sport FM" in its current format was launched in 2013. The station is part of the EMG media holding, which also owns the stations Europa Plus, Radio Road, New Radio, etc. The creators of Sport FM are not They hid that one of the main goals of the launch was a full coverage of the Olympic Games in Sochi, which took place in 2014. The radio station expanded very quickly and in a short time received almost 45 frequencies in the regions (now there are about 39). According to Mediascope, the audience of "Sport FM" in Russia in the period from October 2017 to March 2018 was 1.4 million people versus 1.27 million from October 2016 to March 2017. On the development of "Sport FM" top managers EMG during the launch of the station promised to spend about 1 billion rubles. How much has been spent to the present moment on the development of the format, Emelianov does not disclose. The radio station has not paid for itself yet, Emelyanov admits. "During the entire period of the radio station's operation, about 1 billion rubles have been invested in it. These costs not only have not yet paid off, but, most likely, they will not pay off in the foreseeable future, as we do not see the growth of financial indicators, "he said. There are practically no major serious sporting events in Russia, Yemelyanov continues. "During the World Football Championship, the audience of the radio station and the site of" Sport FM "seriously increased: this event could not but affect the interest in sports, but then everyday life comes and it is very difficult to maintain interest in the radio station," he argues. "For sports, the station has a very good result, but we have not seen a strong growth in financial performance." The main expenses of any conversational radio station are employees who work on creating content. The staff will be significantly reduced, Yemelyanov warned. Now over the content of the radio work from 80 to 100 people, including freelancers. Most of them have fixed-term contracts that expire, some of their employees may not renew them, and the contract will be extended with outsiders for outsourcing. How many people will continue to work on the airwaves of the updated radio station, he did not specify: "The process of forming a new broadcasting grid will take from several weeks to a month. While we are not determined how many people will continue to work on the radio station. " (https://www.vedomosti.ru/technology/articles/2018/07/25/776473-sport-fm) Leningradskaya oblast.

In the late 1980's Aum Shinrikyo arrived in Russia and the Ukraine. The sects speeches were translated and broadcast in a number of langs over the Voice of Russiaus SW txs. The money received helped subsidise the foreign sce. In 1992 the Russian Justice Ministry registered the organisation. According to the Russian General Prosecutors office there were more than 30,000 salesmen in Aum-Shinrikyo. They laid criminal information against the sect in March 1995 and broadcasts via Russian txs were promptly terminated. (RNW MN NL, WDXC-UK 'Contact' magazine Apr 1, 2004) The former leader of a Japanese doomsday cult has been judged mentally fit to continue his appeal of a death sentence for masterminding a deadly nerve gas attack on Tokyo's subway. Shoko Asahara who founded and led the Aum Shinrikyo cult was sentenced to death by hanging in 2004 after being found guilty of being responsible for the SARIN gas attack, which killed 12 people and made thousands of others sick in 1995. On March 20, 1995, five cult members pierced bags of SARIN, a nerve gas developed by the Nazis, on separate trains as they converged in central Tokyo's national government district. The cult claimed it was a pre- emptive strike against police planning raids on the group. Asahara was convicted of killing 27 people in total, including former members of the cult, an anti-cult lawyer and his family. A number of other former cult members have received death sentences for participating in the attack. (ODXA Listening In via dxld; WDXC-UK 'Contact' magazine April 2006) December 2003 archive: Recommending a new book on defeating cult terrorism in Japan, which may be of interest to readers always in search of unique and new literature especially as some of the cult's activities were conducted in Australia. (Dec 21, 2003) AUM SHINRIKYO - JAPAN'S UNHOLY SECT I am the author of a book on the Japanese cult, Aum Shrinrikyo [sic] which released sarin nerve gas into a Tokyo subway system in 1995 killing and injuring thousands. It was considered an act of terrorism from a cult whose belief was the destruction of mankind. The deadly cult, Aum Shinrikyo, is still on the United States list of terrorists and below is a brief synopsis of this book "Aum Shinrikyo - Japan's Unholy Sect" and after the Sept 11th incident, the issue of terrorism has become a topic of great concern to everyone. It is a chilling story of terror, murder and atrocities committed in the name of twisted religious beliefs, the forerunner of Sept 11th, long before terrorism became the business of everyone committed to live in peace and safety. The cult extended their activities to Australia when Shoko Asahara, the founder, purchased a farm in Australia to test SARIN on animals. A little about this book: On the 26th of March 1995, SARIN gas was released in a Tokyo subway station crammed with morning rush hour commuters and all hell broke loose. In the aftermath of anguish, death, painful injuries and broken lives, the deadly action was traced back to a cult called Aum Shinrikyo. What lay behind this ferocious lashing the cult had given to the orderly, uncluttered society JPN was so proud of? What dark sinister secrets lay behind the walls of the Aum Shinrikyo compound in Kamikuishiki? Tsutsumi Sakamoto, a Yokohama lawyer took up the challenge of finding answers to these questions and one cold, gray November morning in 1995, the young attorney, his wife and ten month old son disappeared without a trace. This is the chilling story of how a young lawyer sacrificed his life and that of his poignantly young family to stem the reign of terror of the cult's guru, Shoko Asahara. He spoke out from his lonely hillside grave and was heard at last after six long years. He had died to right a social wrong; the rest was up to the living.

(Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, hcdx and dxld July 10) LATVIA HISTORY OF THE LEGENDARY RADIOTEKHNIKA FACTORY Riga, 1927. There is a massive hobby for radio, only in one year the number of radio subscribers in Latvia increases from one and a half to ten thousand people. At the same time, the owner of the photo studio, a native of the Jewish family, Abram Leibovitz, quickly realized that selling radio equipment was a very profitable occupation. But only the production of their own models is a very time consuming process, but selling foreign ready equipment is much more interesting. But in Latvia there is a law on competition, which nullifies the entire benefit of such activities. A born businessman Leibovitz comes up with an exit: to buy ready-made radios in Germany, right on the spot to dismantle them, pack out spare parts and, in the guise of radio components, bring them to the country. Already in Riga receivers were collected anew and sold under the guise of local with the label A.L.Radio. So JSC "Abrama Leibovica foto radio centrale", became the progenitor of the legendary plant "Radiotehnika". Second dad In the thirties, Leibovitz invites a brilliant technician to work at the age of 22 who won the Ministry of Internal Affairs competition and collected two hundred regenerative three-lamp battery radiators for border guards. Alexander Apsisis, who is often mistakenly considered the founder of the Riga plant, did not work for Leibovitz for very long, since they did not agree on some working issues. Subsequently (in 1934) Apsitis decides to register his production: the company "A. Apsitis & F. Zhukovskis", which produces receivers of "Tonmeistars", and also produces radio accessories. At the same time, Leibovitz has a new problem: Adolf Hitler comes to power in Germany, which aggravates the "Jewish question". At the beginning of his reign, the country's enterprises were advised not to work with representatives of this nationality, so Leibovitz loses his main supplier of radio components, and he has to start developing his own models. The strategies of the companies Leibovitz and Apsitis were completely different: the first was a "businessman to the marrow of bones", he attracted buyers due to the appearance of his goods and powerful advertising. Absolutely commercial component of the business Leibovitsa made itself felt: if there was an opportunity to profit from loss of quality, he did not miss it. This affects so far - now the original radio receivers of its production are extremely difficult to find in working order. Apsitis, being an excellent radio technician, was chasing after the quality. His different models sometimes differed little from each other in appearance, but were assembled perfectly. Ultimately Apsitis made the maximum contribution to the development of the company, which later becomes known as Radiotehnika. The combination of a merchant and equipment In 1940, Soviet troops entered Riga, and the new government nationalized Apsitis company, combining it with several small private companies, and himself technology has made the general manager. Now the association was called "Radiotehnika". In turn, the company Leibovitz also nationalized - it became part of the enterprise "Radiopionieris". During the war, the Germans merged Radiopionieris and Radiotehnika, making them a subsidiary of Telefunken Geratewerk Riga. By the end of the war, in 1944, all enterprises tried to export to Germany, but thanks to Alexander Apsitis, most of the equipment was still preserved (in the boxes for transportation, he imperceptibly laid bricks and scrap), and when the German occupation was lifted, the plant again received his former director and the name "Radiotehnika". The enterprise intended to resume the production of radio equipment, but it was necessary to start with the help in restoring the bridge that was destroyed during the war through the Daugava. At the same time, the traces of Abram Leibovitz are lost, the last mention of which can be found only during the German occupation.

When the CCCR was very bad in 1941 and the whole industry was practically on wheels, on the fronts there were neither airplanes nor walkie-talkies, so tank losses during the fight "T-34" and "KV" with smelly Hitler's "T-3" (tank Wehrmacht troops then consisted mainly of obsolete tanks "T-3") constituted a terrible number - 10 of ours to one German, but it should be the other way round, when Stalin personally distributed from the Kremlin every evening made for the day in the USSR machine guns and rifles, ours turned to Roosevelt for help, and it was provided. Since England was in a slightly better position than the USSR and hung in view of the German underwater Atlantic blockade on the starvation of supplies of materials, fuel and foodstuffs from the United States, it was clear that without the United States it would not last long, the United States adopted a program to support England and the USSR weapons, food, medicine, vehicles. In the USSR, through the northern convoys and Alaska, aircraft, cannons, tanks, pork stew and Laird fat, Studebakers, jeeps and medicines, radio stations of all kinds and entire radio centers, locomotives and rails went-all for free. Mighty American industry has moved to military harmony with all its might. We agreed that after the war the parties will calculate and return to the US the surviving military equipment. But it was not there... There was a nuclear era, and the relationship between former allies began to deteriorate quickly. Since 1924 in America, the establishment of the USSR under the name "AMTORG". In view of the fact that many vital types of high-tech products could not be developed in the USSR in those years, and also because of backward infrastructure and lack of the necessary production culture, they needed to be created, taking over from others. Therefore, AMTORG watched the latest achievements of world science and tried to buy all the new products in time, if this was not a state secret and the US government did not object to it. Since there was not yet a nuclear bomb and the backward USSR posed no danger to US interests, many of the USSR's requests were met, as it was a profitable trade in innovations, and our money was not spared. So, under the license, in the 1930s, octal radiolamp series were purchased, which were distributed before the war, and some types of aircraft and cars in small quantities. Naturally, all these purchases cost the USSR not cheap - the calculations were conducted in US currency and gold, since the ruble of the USSR was not a currency. During the war years, AMTORG continued purchasing, as far as the forces and reserves were concerned, in particular - a sample of such a purchase - the V-100 radio station, which was adapted to the Soviet Army, had a graduated scale in some stupid coded waves that were incomprehensible and inconvenient the military radio operators of the USSR, and had inscriptions and extensive documentation in Russian. Receivers and radio stations in the USSR began to be delivered from the autumn of 1941, but massively - later, sometime from 1942-1943. The very first was the "V-100" radio. Some models of these stations were with the clock, some without them. By the way, these watches were very disgusting, punching, which did not go long ... But their radio amateurs of the Soviet Union, however, eagerly tore out from each walkie-talkie, so to meet the radio with the clock - this was a great event! This radio, as well as a Christmas tree, was the first constructive that gave a start to life to the famous USSR champion in connection with HF and VHF Georgy Rumyantsev. While still a Ukrainian kid, he put in place of the modest "RK-25" ("G- 1625") bulb, the powerful beauty "GK-71" and submitted to the anode a weak 3 square. Subsequently, in Leningrad, in the UA1DZ shekel, the anode voltage for this lamp increased to 5 kV, which made it possible to work more or less normally in the contests organized by the USSR DOSAAF. True, the lamp was sufficient at the same time for a few minutes and at the same time the asbestos mittens helped. The mittens were dressed in the hands of a second operator or assistant, so that the incandescent lamp could be instantly pulled out of the socket and inserted a new one, without spending a single precious time of the contest! In the neck there were several dozen boxes with spare lamps. At the anode voltage of 5 kV in the lamp, a process occurred in the process, which looked very much like electric welding ... It is necessary to distinguish Lendlizovsky supplies of machinery from AMTORG's purchases of the period of the war of 1941-1945. Lendliz was a free gift, and AMTORG for gold. AMTORG'ovskie radios were fully adapted for Soviet soldiers.

Other language groups, including ours, have the name "Vatican News" on the new news portal of the Vatican. Now a significant part of our work is devoted to textual, journalistic information published on a single Internet portal along with images, photo galleries, videos and audio materials, thematic selections, live video, including daily podcasts. All this, as noticeable, is much larger than the usual radio station and is called "Vatican News", the new information system of the Holy See. However, for broadcasting on shortwaves, FM, on digital radio and via satellites, an exception is left: all language versions continue to be called on Radio Vatican or Vatican Radio (therefore this historical logo is depicted on our QSL paper cards). In short, the radio has become one of the many components of a large multimedia project, and on the radio we are Radio Vatican, and on the Internet Vatican News, wrote the station's employee.

This is still the only radio station of its kind in Central Asia. "We just want that there is no barrier, all the guys work absolutely for free, because they think that this is our common cause," says Saule Alpysova, director of the public trust "Doverie", who organized the project. "But we will have an agreement with the Ministry of Social Policy and the Department of Employment." While there are 10 journalists working on the "Sector X" content, in the future it is planned to double the staff. Before the work began, the master-class of the most famous Kazakh radio stars conducted the master-class with limited capabilities: they taught them how to work with voice, the technology of reading news, searching for information. Ilyas Fatkulin conducts the "Tiflozhzn" program on "Sector X" - how to make life easier for the same blind and visually impaired people as he does. Ilyas says that when he found out about the opening of the radio, he never doubted that this was the work that would become his favorite. "I was very interested in that, because I led some subjects and I can talk about it for a long time," he says. "In the program I tell how to use certain items, how not to fall, how to do something." Gabdulla Tumebaev conducts on the radio programs in the Kazakh language. He introduces the audience to the news and makes interviews with interesting people. "I gladly agreed to this work without thinking, because I saw this as a perspective for the development of people with disabilities," he said. Ilyas - in the past a participant of the well-known in Kazakhstan project "Sport without Borders", Gabdulla together with a friend is engaged in charity. The others also actively participate in public life. The program director of "Sector X" Sauket Berkut says that all of his leading radio stations do not feel themselves to be somewhat flawed in comparison with sighted people: "They are all with higher education, and not one, they are all interested, they always want to learn something, do something, move forward," he notes. While the new Internet radio is preparing content in the studio of the IT-University, but in the very near future the project intends to move to its own office. currenttime.tv (http://onair.ru/main/enews/view_msg/NMID__69874/) Ukraine ------------ 07/22/2018 The National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio Broadcasting expects in September to present a document on sanctions against Russian media and officials involved in illegal speech in the Crimean anecdote.

(http://proradio.org.ua/news/2018jul.php) - March 8, 2014, an important historical event occurred - the Crimea joining Russia, that is, the entry into the Russian Federation of the territory of the Crimea peninsula (with the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol on it), which previously was part of Ukraine. The accession, or rather the return, of these territories to Russia was fixed by an interstate agreement signed on March 18, 2014 at the St. George Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace in Moscow by the heads of Russia and the Republic of Crimea. Moreover, according to this document, the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol were not simply accepted into the Russian Federation, but also became its new subjects. The Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea Vladimir Konstantinov, the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Crimea Sergey Aksenov and the "People's Mayor" of Sevastopol Alexei Chalyy put their signatures under this document.
