France Info from Lyon on 603 was sounding distorted last night and sounds even worse tonight. It will be interesting to see whether the fault is cleared or the transmitter is shut down. If no listeners have complained Radio France might not even be aware of the fault yet.

Looks like the fault on the France Info tx at Lyon on 603 has been cleared. It's sounding good tonight.

I'm able to get quite a bit of UK AM stations here in Estonia including Absolute Radio (which I enjoy a lot) however RTR broadcasts on both 1197 AND 1215 which are the two I can actually receive. Btw I've got a couple of videos up of getting some medium wave stations in Estonia (a country that has zero AM broadcasts)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2z0-5kL41k It's possible Bauer may expand into Estonia on FM or DAB+? https://www.bauermedia.com/en/media/radio-tv/ Quote:
Radio is an important business sector for us, a sector we continue to develop. Today, we are already one of the leading companies in the European radio sector. But with the large AM stations closing there is opertunities for night time stations to reach long distances, but local domestic interference increasing may mean the internet is the best way?
Every day almost 18 million people listen to one of our programmes. Alongside Radio Hamburg in Germany, our company has approximately 50 radio channels in Poland, the UK and Slovakia |

Absolute and the previous Virgin radio had some international aspirations, but now under new owners may become UK focused and soon shutdown AM.

I'd give it a 0.01% chance of ever launching here. Since they region lock their stream I can listen from satellite or send it over fibre to here (having four tuner full UK DVB-T access here). I don't mind listening on AM when theres little interference but once Russian radio stops its propaganda broadcasting nonsense over half the MW band I'll be able to get a lot more from UK, France, Netherlands and Germany so I'm all for it.
567 200 kW Volgagrad 585 150 kW Perm 594 40 kW Izhevsk 612 20 kW Kurkino (Voice of Russia) 621 50 kW Makhachkala 657 150 kW Murmansk 684 10 kW Sosnovka (Radio Radonezh) 693 150 kW Yazykovo 711 7 kW Naryan-Mar 738 5 kW Kurkino (WRN) 765 150 kW Pedaselga 828 10 kW Sosnovka (Radiogazeta) 846 42 kW Elista 855 50 kW Kamenka 873 50 kW Kaliningrad 873 75 kW Olgino 873 150 kW Kurovskaya 873 100 kW Mehzavod 918 150 kW Arkhangelsk 918 50 kW Makhachkala (Radio Mayak 936 5 kW Matveyevka 945 40 kW Rostov-na-Donu 1053 10 kW Sosnovka (Radio Mariya) 1080 100 kW Kovylkino 1089 50 kW Krasny Bor (Radio Teos) 1116 30 kW Sochi 1134 20 kW Kurkino (Radio Teos) 1251 7 kW Cherkessk/RTPS 1251 1 kW Urup 1287 50 kW Grozniy 1350 50 kW Sukhumi 1395 50 kW Buguruslan 1458 7 kW Kudymkar 1584 0.1 kW Moskva (Radio Ekspromt (temp) 1593 0.01 kW St Petersburg (temp) 1602 0.1 kW Moscow (Radio Zeleny Glazh) (temp) That makes 36 out of 40. Where are the other 4 transmitters? Or is it just Radio Rossii that is going off MW. The ori8ginal press release relates to the RTR or RTRS. It also says that transmitters radiating bewtwen 1-15 kW will stay on air for now but will be migrated to FM later. From this list if you leave out the temporary stations, there are 9 transmitters less 15 kW or less - giving the impression all the rest will close next week. We will have to wait and see! Can anyone tell me of any other transmiutters I have missed? |

Is that from the EMWG website? WRTH 2015 has 53 Radio Rossii transmitters listed, on a quick check of the first few frequencies you've listed the missing ones compared with your list are in Asiatic Russia.
I do not sadly have the current WRTH I'm afraid and only put the list there for ease of reference. Thanks |

I did get them from there but these are the frequencies listed with WRUS" next to them. I was not sure where to find the others. Are there any frequencies missing?

The interference to Absolute on 1215 AM is coming from CRI's high power transmitter in Albania rather than Russia, so the interference from CRI may be around for some time? Quote:
738 5 kW Kurkino (WRN)
The ori8ginal press release relates to the RTR or RTRS. It also says that transmitters radiating bewtwen 1-15 kW will stay on air for now but will be migrated to FM later. Sputnik are now the Russian external service and are not on AM anymore, http://sputniknews.com/docs/about/index.html Quote:
Sputnik’s radio broadcasting will use only modern formats, such as FM, digital DAB/DAB+ (Digital Radio Broadcasting), HD-Radio, as well as mobile phones and the Internet.
WRN are the brokers to get Sputnik on DAB in London.

It looks like Germany is on course to have eliminated AM by 31/12/15 (excepting Europe 1 which is just on the German side of the border with France for historical reasons).

I expect WRN will look forward to getting on FM in Moscow rather than AM? Sputnik are now the Russian external service and are not on AM anymore, http://sputniknews.com/docs/about/index.html WRN are the brokers to get Sputnik on DAB in London. Radio Moscow and Radio Sweden could be easily heard on AM here in the UK during daylight hours. |

They should be looking to get Radio Sweden onto UK DAB as well, and not just in London. Radio Sweden and Radio Moscow/Voice of Russia/Sputnik are/were indeed not your standard foreign station on AM.

Radio Swedens English coverage consists of 1 x 30 minute programme a day. Not exactly sufficient to sustain a channel. The days of full service international broadcasting are ended

I have heard the English language programmes several more than 1 x 30 minute slot per day.
http://sverigesradio.se/sida/avsnitt?programid=2054 They are also on World Radio Network Europe for only 30 minutes each day. Where have you heard these programmes? |

![]() but for some reason (cost?) other stations like Radio Sweden are Sky and internet only in the UK? |

The remaining areas will eventually get replaced by FM transmitters. They are not exactly short of frequencies to accommodate the station on the FM band, but what they are short of is the money to do it.
