The radio station’s old transmitter was only 250 kilowatts in power and it covered only three kilometres area. The new radio transmitter, which is 1,000 kilowatts, expanded the range to 60 kilometres. High-rise buildings are obstacles for radio waves. Given this, the new radio transmitter was installed on a 180-metre TV tower located outside the city.
A new extension building for the radio station was also opened. A three-story building of 1,000 square metres has the offices of administrative and management personnel, engineers, editorial staff and correspondents.
