Radio Moldova Youth expands its reach. Elena Stegari: We highlight young people from all regions
The only public radio station for young people, Radio Moldova Tineret (RMT), is expanding its reach and will be available in more localities. The radio frequencies were awarded on a competitive basis by the Audiovisual Council. "Extending the audience would mean we could further highlight young people from all regions of Moldova," said RMT head of programmes Elena Stegari.
Thus, Radio Moldova Tineret will be available on 89.8 MHz (Stefan Voda), 89.9 MHz (Criuleni), 90.7 MHz (Ocnita), 94.0 MHz (Soroca), 95.3 MHz (Dondușeni), 95.5 MHz (Soroca, s. Vădeni), 96.6 MHz (Cantemir), 98.1 MHz (Anenii Noi), 98.1 MHz (Șoldănești) and 100.3 MHz (Căușeni, s. Copanca).
In order to be as close as possible to its audience, Radio Moldova Tineret has changed the concept of several programmes in the last year, focusing on topics of importance to young people, such as psychology, health, education, professional orientation, art, culture, civic activism, etc.
Another priority has been targeting young people in rural areas, RMT's head of programmes Elena Stegari told us. To this end, the programmes publicise their activities and their involvement in the development of the communities in which they live.
"The participants in our programmes are young people from various fields of activity (medicine, sport, entrepreneurship). Their achievements are reflected in our programmes. Radio Moldova Youth also develops connections with young people abroad. Their success stories are the subject of RMT's broadcasts," said Elena Stegari.
She also told us that as Radio Moldova Tineret aims to become the audience and opinion leader among young people in the Republic of Moldova, other new programmes with educational content will be introduced, as well as programmes that meet the needs of the current generation.
During this year, Radio Moldova Tineret will broadcast news bulletins for young people.
Launched on 30 October 2012, Radio Moldova Tineret has over time become a real communication platform for young people. The most valuable thing RMT has is a united, cheerful, erudite team that manages to convey information, emotions, knowledge to the public, assuring young people that their voice matters.
