DUSHANBE, July 13, 2012, Asia-Plus — Head of the Committee for TV and Radio-broadcasting under the Government of Tajikistan, Asadullo Rahmonov, has offered the private TV channel, Simoi Mustaqili Tojikiston or SMT (Independent TV of Tajikistan) to change its transmitting wave.
He remarked this at a news conference in Dushanbe on July 13.
Rahmonov noted that the frequency used by SMT to transmit its signals belongs to the private TV station legally, but the TV station of the Russian military base deployed in Tajikistan also uses this frequency to rebroadcast programs of Russia’s Channel One. Therefore, the stations cause interference for each other.
We will recall that Simoi Mustaqili Tojikiston was founded in 2007 but since 2009, SMT and the TV station of the Russian military base have used the same frequency to transmit their signals, and therefore, they have caused interference for each other.
