On 13
July 2016, a broadcast of radio programs of the Donetsk regional directorship
of NBCU "Voice of Donbass" on a frequency of 100,3 MHz was launched
in Volnovakha of Donetsk region, and which allowed to expand broadcasting of
the Ukrainian radio programs on this territory.
Additionally to the regional programs of the Donetsk branch
radio of the National broadcasting company of Ukraine, it is also possible to
hear the programs of "Public radio Kyiv-Donbas" ("Hromadske
radio Kyiv-Donbas") and "Radio Liberty" ("Radio
Svoboda").
The concept of the radio station was developed by the working
group on the reintegration of Donbas under the Ministry of information policy
of Ukraine with the participation of Donetsk and Luhansk journalists.
The "Voice of Donbas" radio station broadcasts
around the clock. Since July 1 on its waves one can hear the latest news from
different parts of the region.
"Note that from 1 July in Mariupol the broadcasting
transmitter on a frequency of 67,34 MHz was activated, the same day the FM transmitter
for a broadcast of the "Voice of Donbas" on a frequency of 88.0 MHz
started its activity in Shchastya. We still need to install 3 transmitters to
close all of our licenses. I am very grateful to NBCU and to other partners of
this project," said Tetiana Popova, Deputy Minister of
Information Policy of Ukraine.
The measures implemented to enhance information security of the state and neutralize the negative information influence on the population in the East of Ukraine. In general, 60 radio and television transmitters donated by the partners were installed.
