History

Chuvash National Radio began a test announcement on 25 April 2009, coinciding with the annual Day of the Chuvash Language.

The formation of Chuvash National Radio occurred in three stages. The first stage was from April to May 2009, featuring news and musical programmes, as well as programmes for children. The second stage began on 1 September 2009 with news and programmes for children and youth and literary drama programmes. Since 1 January 2010, the radio station airs full-time programming.

According to the Ministry of Culture of the Chuvash Republic, the goal of creating a Chuvash radio station from the ground up is the development of a system of information support for the population, upholding constitutional law regarding the reception of socially significant information, and the ability to notify residents in case of emergency situations.

On the basis of the transferring equipment of branch FGUP «Radio television transmitting centre» two frequencies are assigned to Chuvash National Radio: VHF 71.41 MHz (the transmitter is located in Ibresi) and FM 105.0 MHz (the transmitter is located in Tsivilsk). By means of these transmitters 80% of the territory of the Chuvash Republic, except for Cheboksary and Novocheboksarsk, is covered. According to federal law, on-air broadcasting in cities with a population of over 100,000 is authorized only on the basis of a license.
