WRN has announced that, as of 28 June, its Moscow AM station on 738 kHz has been extended to continuous 24 hours a day operation. Vsemyrniya Radioset, which translates as World Radio Network, broadcasts the best Russian language news and feature programmes from the most respected international radio broadcasters, alongside local content from Russian broadcasters.
Previously the station broadcast from 0600 to midnight, local time. However, there was much interest in it being on air round-the-clock. This has resulted in the decision to take the station 24/7 as of 28 June.
Karl Miosga, WRN’s Chairman, said: “We are delighted with the success of the Moscow station which has been on the air for the past three years. Russia is a dynamic and fast changing country and its geopolitical position on the world stage means having a voice in Moscow is becoming increasingly important. We would like to invite any broadcasters or producers with programming in Russian or English to contact us to hear about opportunities to be heard in this important city.”
