Representatives of Mongolia’s National Public Radio and Television gathered yesterday to share views on the current state and further trends of the radio station “Voice of Mongolia”. A technical and technological modernization and a need to increase a number of listeners are the most urgent issues of the “Voice of Mongolia”- one of the channels to advertise Mongolia abroad.
The attendees of the consultation supported an initiative to broadcast the Voice of Mongolia via Internet. The National Radio has aired programmes in Chinese for the Chinese living in Mongolia since its establishment in 1934, and in Russian and then in Kazakh since 1994. Today, it transmits 6-hours of programmes in Mongolian, English, Chinese, Russian, and Japanese every day. Programs in Russian are broadcast on shortwave transmitters of the Voice of Russia, targeted at Central Asian and European countries, and via the Internet channel of the Russian radio station.
