Emitel sends broadcasting equipment to Ukraine
Ukraine will receive free digital TV and FM transmitters and antenna systems. The agreement was concluded within the framework of cooperation between the State Special Communications Service and the KRRT with the leading operator of terrestrial radio and television of the Republic of Poland, Emitel. This was reported on the telegram channel of the State Special Service. There is currently a written agreement to supply the first batch of equipment.
“Within a few weeks, four powerful digital TV transmitters, three FM transmitters and antenna systems will be delivered to Ukraine. The equipment will work for a joint victory over the enemy on the information front," the State Special Communications Service said. It will be recalled that Ukraine recently received humanitarian aid from Lithuania. Radio Broadcasting and Television Center AB Lietuvos Radijo Ir Televizijus Centras provided KRRT with 10 FM radio transmitters and 9 digital television transmitters. In total, according to the monitoring of the Institute of Mass Media, the Russian occupiers fired on 11 TV towers in eight regions of Ukraine. Broadcasters' equipment was damaged or destroyed in Melitopol (Zaporizhzhya region), Kyiv and the village of Vynarivka (Kyiv region), Kharkiv (twice hit the TV tower) and the region (Izyum), Rivne, Vinnytsia, Korosten (Zhytomyr region), Lysychansk (Luhansk region), Bilopil Sumshchina). As a result of Russian air strikes, Ukrainian broadcasting has completely or partially disappeared in these regions. In addition, the occupiers seized Ukrainian media outlets and switched on Russian channels. In particular, the Russian occupiers forcibly shut down Kherson and Melitopol from Ukrainian broadcasting, and the occupiers mined the Suspilne building in Kherson. The National Public Television and Radio Company of Ukraine (Suspilne) appealed to the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) to take urgent measures in connection with the shelling of TV towers in Kyiv and Kharkiv by the Russian army, attack on websites and jamming of the satellite signal.
