Radio Voice of Russia Starts Broadcasting in Cell Phone Format
As of Oct 13, Radio Voice of Russia’s broadcasting will be available for owners of cellular phones. Voice of Russia Chairman Andrei Bystritsky explained that the Mobile Voice of Russia project made it possible to listen to VOR broadcasting in any part of the world with good-quality mobile re-translators.
This project shows, Bystritsky stressed, that a state-of-the-art and professional service, Russia’s foreign-language broadcasting is now able to give a relevant content to its listeners in all necessary formats in terms of the development of wireless technologies. The Mobile Voice of Russia project is mainly designed for those living in countries which have a sophisticated telecommunication network – something that will help them swiftly get relevant information about the latest developments in Russia and beyond.
Right now, the Mobile Voice of Russia-related programs in 17 languages are available for owners of smart phones which have the Windows Mobile operating system. The smart phone owners should first visit VOR’s website at http://www.ruvr.ru/ and download special software which is needed to listen to the VOR’s mobile broadcasting. The software is distributed on a free-of-charge basis.
The beginning of next year will see more mobile gadgets and relevant operating systems used by listeners to listen to the Mobile Voice of Russia, which plans to start broadcasting in 39 languages before the end of 2010. Russia’s state-run broadcasting company Voice of Russia is founded in 1929 and daily broadcasts in 39 languages to 53 countries with the help of various transmitters, including those in digital format.
