THREE MORE ARMENIAN RADIO AND TV FREQUENCIES ALLOCATED. In the second
of a series of controversial tenders, the presidential commission on
broadcasting on 25 June formally allocated frequencies to two
television stations and one radio station, RFE/RL's Yerevan bureau
reported. All three broadcasters acquired the frequencies they had
used prior to the tender, and thus had their broadcasting licenses
renewed for a further seven years. In the first such tender in April,
the independent television station A1+, which is renowned for its
hard-hitting but objective political coverage, lost its frequency to
a station that intends to broadcast primarily entertainment (see
"RFE/RL Newsline," 2 and 3 April 2002). That station has not yet
begun broadcasting, but its owner said on 21 June that it plans to do
so by September, RFE/RL 's Yerevan bureau reported. LF
