Today the National Commission on Television and Radio rejected Meltex’s
licensing on radio broadcasting at 90.3 Mherz frequency channel on
the territory of Yerevan. According to tender regulations, 80% of the
product must have been locally produced with 64% own programs. The
tender package did not include information on funding which the company
should invest. Another company – Ulis Media – presented investment
package of 30 mln drams. Meltex scored 22 whereas Ulis Media scored
29 according to rating voting.

The National Commission on Television and Radio also refused to
give license to Meltex for broadcasting at 90.7 Mherz frequency on
the territory of Yerevan. The reason was that the package lacked
information on funding and investment. Radio Pro won the tender
which scored 29 according to rating voting. Meltex scored 22. The
best bidder plans to invest $5 thousand on technical equipment of the
studio, $15 thousand on advertising and $10 thousand on modernization.
