After concluding a deal with the National Radio Society in Kiev, German international broadcaster Deutsche Welle’s Ukrainian programme is now on air nationwide on FM.
DW-Radio’s editor-in-chief Miodrag Soric welcomed the development as an opening of state media in the Ukraine towards Europe. Germany is one of Ukraine’s most important partners in Europe.
The station in Kiev rebroadcasts DW news during the week and on Saturdays DW magazine programmes such as Germany Report, Europe Magazine and Culture Magazine. DW-RADIO /Ukrainian is broadcast on the Promin channel, targetting mainly young listeners. The station reaches 2,5 million listeners, about 7 percent of all listeners. DW-RADIO’s daily one-hour programme in Ukrainian is being rebroadcast by 14 regional stations in the area.
