The construction of a tower for TV and radio broadcasting to the annexed Crimea has been completed in Chonhar, as reported by a member of the National Council on TV and Radio Broadcasting, Serhiy Kostynsky, on his Facebook page on Wednesday, 25 January.
"The tower in Chonhar is complete. In the near future broadcasting to the Crimea will begin... Equipment is now being installed," he wrote.
The height of the tower is 150 meters; it took about two months to be constructed. It took about nine months to calculate and coordinate international radio frequencies, the allocation of land, and the competition for radio frequencies.
According to Kostynsky, as of February, the signals of Ukrainian radio stations Ukrainian Radio, Meydan, Radio Krym.realii, and Kherson FM will be available on Crimean radio. "The next step is the organization of digital television," the representative of the National Council stated.
It had been planned for the four Ukrainian radio stations to be available in the Crimea by the end of 2016.
