The Security Council of Russia on the meeting on 19 May decided to establish a special federal state budgetary institutions ( FSBA ) for the implementation of long-range Russian public broadcasting stations " Radio Russia " and " Voice of Russia" both domestically and abroad . On this " Lente.ru " according to two industry sources familiar with the decision of the Security Council.
Objective of the new company will be the restoration and long-range radio support on long , medium and short waves , which in 2013-2014 was almost completely collapsed state company "Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network" ( RTRS ) due to the termination of budget financing . FGBI broadcasting , by the decision of the Security Council will be established in 2016 and is run by one of the security forces , presumably the Ministry of Defence .
Why not hear " Voice of Russia"
During the previous two years distant broadcasting public radio stations in the country was almost completely stopped.
First , in March of 2013, ceased to be broadcast on long ( LW) and secondary (SV ) waves transmit radio "Mayak" . As a result, hear them in Russia was only possible in some cities where the broadcaster - the company RTR - transmitters have a range of FM.
Then , in early 2014 , partially disabled and broadcast "Radio Russia" on long and medium waves , which led to the same result as a "beacon" .
Thus , today the Russian state radio transmission will not be accepted in our country anywhere except a few major cities , mostly regional or national centers.
Gone with all ranges of radio waves , providing long-distance transmissions (this , in addition to LW and MW , more short-wave - HF ) , and "Voice of Russia ", working for foreign countries . Its transmission RTRS radio centers in Russia were also stopped , continuing with only a few transmitters leased abroad.
In all these cases, the cause was broadcast far off reduction in state funding , the company provides RTR for this purpose .
How not to die far Broadcasting
In addition, the public radio stations that was not heard in most parts of Russia , the almost complete cessation of government funding jeopardized the very existence of long-range radio in our country.
This kind of broadcasting carried RTRS state company with its powerful broadcasting centers , where there were about 40 at the end of 2013.
They basically were just loaded broadcast transmission over long distances , " Lighthouse ", " Radio Russia " and " Voice of Russia" . During this RTRS received money from the company RTR and "Voice of Russia ". It is clear that when the money stopped coming , the content of radio centers for RTRS became unprofitable.
Reduction in government funding far broadcasting has led to the fact that RTRS forgone in 2013-2014 approximately 800 million rubles of income . A company's annual loss from this activity reached about 2.5 billion rubles.
In this situation, the prospect of closing RTRS got most radio centers because of their support in working condition in the absence of paid broadcasting expensive. At the same time , because of the technical features of the powerful radio transmitters , after being off for two or three winters , equipment radio centers could come into complete disrepair , and if necessary, they would have to build almost from scratch.
Therefore, recently continued search for a way out of the situation , the more that radio centers need not only RTR and not only to "Lighthouse" was heard on the Siberian expanses .
Why CIS military radio
The fact that a powerful radio, in addition to solving the civilian tasks for the dissemination of radio programs in the country, and the need for specific tasks power structures.
The center can be a powerful broadcasting horizon radar for early warning about the threat of aerospace attack . In addition, they are suitable for electronic warfare (EW ) and intelligence .
On the basis of such radio centers is also possible to arrange for large areas notification of emergencies or danger in wartime. They are suitable for sustainable and long-distance communications for government agencies , if at the same time of war will be disrupted communication via satellite , which is very likely .
Military has always expressed an interest in maintaining a strong radio in the country. However, these structures were not controlled by them , being a member of the RTRS . Consequently, the military and money on them from the budget is allocated .
What will the new structure
According to sources, " Heathcliff " , the Security Council decided that the centers of powerful broadcasting solving the problem of propagation programs public radio stations in 2016 will be transferred from the RTRS in the new federal budget enterprise.
The company will be under the jurisdiction of one of the Russian power structures , presumably , the Ministry of Defence , and also to solve specific problems in the field of defense and security . Venture will be financed from the federal budget .
Prior to this RTRS receive state funding in the amount of three billion rubles for 2015-2016 years. It will be used to before the new FGBI restore distant broadcast "Radio Russia" to the entire country and the " Voice of Russia" with Russian foreign transmitters .
What do they say in the industry
In RTRS welcome recovery far broadcasting.
" With the reduction in broadcast transmission " Mayak "," Radio Russia "and" Voice of Russia " , any decision aimed at maintaining the powerful broadcasting is urgent " - said " Lente.ru " spokesman Igor Stepanov RTRS , refraining from further comments decisions of the Security Council .
Chairman of the Consortium " Digital broadcasting technology platform " Andrew Bryksenkov told " Lentoy.ru " pointed out that worldwide network of powerful broadcasting are under state control .
"The decision to allow the Security Council to begin upgrading the infrastructure of a powerful radio , otherwise we will lose a significant part of it, and even its full potential . Isolation of powerful broadcasting separate enterprise will create preconditions for optimization of radio and broadcasting , public address systems and information security "- said Bryksenkov .
At the same time, the expert does not believe that the new structure will definitely be successful. " Powerful broadcasting has many specific features that will face security forces who do not have experience with similar equipment ," - he said.
