Advisor to the Minister on ensuring TV and Radio broadcasting Oleksandr Brygynets , in the framework of the monitoring mission of the Ministry of information policy of Ukraine in the ATO zone, visited Avdiivka where he studied the informational situation of the front-line city.

Advisor reported that cable television in Avdiivka covers 2/3 of the apartments of residents, who are actively connecting to the network with a powerful package of Ukrainian TV channels.

"Cable television pushes out T2, which broadcast here occupational and collaborationist Donetsk TV channels. There is good news for those who do not have cable television - we have recently begun the process of formation of on-air broadcasting here, which earlier was taken from Donetsk", says the Advisor to the Minister.

In particular, the new transmitting equipment was installed in this territory two weeks ago, which was allocated in the framework of the Commission under MIP.

"Two national TV channels are already active here, but this is only the beginning of the process," says Secretary of the city council Artem Sabadash. "We need to cover with the signal the Old Avdiivka more, as it is very stretched and requires special attention".

Oleksandr Brygynets noted that locals tell about the activity of Internet usage, from where they take information only from the Ukrainian mass media, including television.

In addition, city newspaper "Avdiivskyi visnyk" has begun to spread more actively.
