In Crimea,
Ukrainian FM-station which were replaced by Russian State Special Communication
Service of Ukraine will complain to the International Telecommunication Union. Instead
Ukrainian radio stations began broadcasting in the Russian Crimea. In the
FM-band radio Russia appeared such as "Vesti FM”, “Europe Plus”,
"Russkoe Radio", “Autoradio”, “Energy”, “Capital”. "You listen to us online ?" asked
yesterday leading radio "News" from the caller to the radio listener
from Sevastopol, not knowing that they are already on the air. On the radio
goes both local and Russian advertising. In addition, in the Crimean air
continue to broadcast local radio stations such as, for example, “Leader FM”.
General Director of "Kiss FM" Anton Tseslik says that "for
good" must be issued new licenses for broadcasting (by new Crimean
regulator or Russian). But such information, he said, have neither support of the
Crimean local broadcasters or Ukrainian.
Official
information on tenders for radio frequencies under the FM-radio station in site
Minkomsvyazi Rossii these did not appear, Minister of Information and
Communications of Crimea Dmitry Polonskiy on a business trip, said yesterday via
his assistant. At the request of the Ministry by e-mail yesterday, no response
.
Recall that in
early April in the Crimea from ether lost a number of Ukrainian radio stations.
6 in particular broadcasters “Taurus Media” - Russian radio, Hit FM, Kiss FM,
Radio Roks, Relax, Radio Melody, as well as holding UMH - Autoradio , our
radio, Europa Plus, etc."Radio Chanson" and "Favorite
Radio" (Jukebox ), are included in the Business Radio Group, and were
forced to stop broadcasting in the Crimea on the background of the situation,
said yesterday "Capital" in the source group. According to research
company “GFK Ukraine”, in the southern region of Ukraine (including Odessa,
Nikolaev and Kherson) at the end of the first quarter of 2014, there were about
1.4 million listeners aged 12 to 65 years.
According to the
director, "Taurus Media" Igor Chernyshev, their partners in the
Crimea forced to disable the radio. Press secretary UMH Julia Vasilenko added
that further radio group is not technically feasible. Yesterday,
representatives of the media groups noted that the situation in Crimea has not
changed. Sales Representative Europa Plus (Ukraine) said that some residents of
Crimea listen radio online mode call and participate in quizzes.
Head of
Administration of State Special Communication Service Vladimir Zverev notes that
in the Crimea from the Russian broadcasters (including television) not included
in the broadcast rights, as radio frequency assignment of equipment, and the
equipment itself is the property of Ukraine. On this issue, the agency appealed
to the International Telecommunication Union and finds this flagrant violation
of their rights. FM-wave in close proximity to the warm sea can be spread over
long distances and interfere with communications of other states, if their use
is not pre-harmonized at the international level. Press secretary Roskomnadzora
Vadim Ampelonskiy said he had no information on the use of radiofrequency, one
in the Crimea , and added that such data can only clarify a few days. (capital.ua
