Radio and television in Mongolia

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article Radio and Television in Mongolia covers the radio in Mongolia , past and present. Regular radio broadcasts for the general public have been in the country since 1934.

Beginnings until 1990

Radio began in Mongolia with the support of the Soviet Union , first as wire radio on May 1, 1931 , then wirelessly on September 1, 1934. The broadcast was on long wave 1060 m and short wave 52 m; the station announcement read: Анхаараарай, радио хорооноос ярьж байна! (later ! Улаанбаатараас ярьж байна ; respect, it speaks the Radio Committee and Ulaanbaatar! ). There were also programs in Chinese, Russian and (for the Kazakh minority in the west of the country) Kazakh. In 1958 the amateur radio association MRSF was founded, which operated the station JT1KAA from 1960.

Between 1960 and 1981 Radio Ulaanbaatar received more powerful broadcasting systems in the AM range; this enabled the establishment of a second program ( called Хөх тэнгэр in 1994 , today Алтан сан ) and in September 1964 an own foreign service (since 1997 Монголын дуу хоолой , voice of Mongolia). The broadcaster is operated by RTBN (Radio and Television Broadcasting Network).

TV and radio program 1990

Mongolian television started regular operations on September 27, 1967 (Ulaanbaatar channel R2). The main news broadcast from 1975 was Цаг үе, үйл явдал ( current affairs , based on the Soviet Russian Время ; today Цагийн хүрд - wheel of time ). From 1970 on, Soviet television was also received in the capital via the Orbita system and broadcast terrestrially (R4 channel).

Chair of the Information and Broadcasting Committee (name changes; 1979: Мэдээлэл радио телевизийн улсын хороо, МРТУХ ; 1957–1990 including the МОНЦАМЭ news agency ):

  • 1964–1971 S. Jalan-Aajaw
  • 1972-1982 S. Pürewdschaw
  • 1983-1989 L. Dzantaw

Mongolia was a member of the OIR / OIRT .

After 1990

After 1990 a dual broadcasting system emerged in Mongolia . UBS TV started in 1992 (at that time still sponsored by the city of Ulaanbaatar, fully privatized in 2007). The radio broadcaster Цагаан шонхор (White Falcon) was the first non-governmental provider to receive broadcasting time on Radio Ulaanbaatar in 1993. Eagle TV began in 1994 (initially sponsored by a Christian missionary foundation from the USA). The first commercial provider in 1995 was the company АЭ ба АААГ with ЖААГ FM 107 ( Шинэ зууны радио , Radio New Century) and TV25 . In 1998 a law on freedom of the media was passed. In 1999 the approval of the organizers was regulated; the Communications Regulatory Commission of Mongolia (CRC) is responsible.

In January 2016 there were 131 television and 69 radio providers in Mongolia, including:

  • Aggregator LLC: Шинэ Монгол Радио 101.7 (previously Тэргүүлэгч FM, Улаанбаатар FM; 1998)
  • Ekh Elgen Nutag LLC: Элгэн нутаг FM 96.6 (2003)
  • Gegeen Dalai Group: TV5 (2003)
  • Mass Agency Group: ETV (2010); Их Монгол FM 99.7 (2007), Мэдээллийн авто радио 105.5 (1997)
  • Media Holding: TV9 (2003); Тэнгэрлэг радио FM 103.6 (2003)
  • Media Group: NTV (2006); FM 107 (1999)
  • Mongol Mass Media LLC: Eagle News TV (2011); FM 91.1

  • Хүүхэд Ирээдүй Соёл Боловсролын Сан: Арга билиг радио 95.7 (2009)

There are only relatively few organizers based outside the capital.

There were also changes for the state provider: it received a new legal basis in 2005 and has since been called Mongolian National Public Radio and Television ( Монголын үндэсний олон нийтийн радио телевиз, МҮОНРТ ; English: Mongolian National Broadcaster, MNB). A third radio program started on May 1, 2008 and a second television program on July 11, 2011.

MNB has been a member of the ABU since 1991 , as has TV5 since 2007. In 2013 the transition to DVB-T2 took place .

According to a survey from 2014, TV news broadcasts MNB came out on top; the most successful television series came from Korea.
