LISTENING TO CYPRUS BROADCASTING CORPORATION 963 KHz



Nella notte del 12 agosto, per la prima volta nel mio QTH, sono riuscito ad ascoltare per qualche minuto il Primo Programma della radio greco cipriota CyBC sull'onda media dei 963 KHz. Questa frequenza è utilizzata h24 da Radio Tunisi Canale Internazionale che nel mio QTH è prevalente per l'intero arco della giornata. Verso le 23 UTC però, in concomitanza con un notiziario in lingua francese, in sottofondo si ascoltava musica inconfondibilmente greca. Un rapido controllo sullo streaming dell'emittente ha confermato che si trattava proprio dell'emittente cipriota che per qualche minuto è stata addirittura prevalente sul canale.

CyBC PROTO PROGRAMMA 963 KHz


On the night of August 12, for the first time in my QTH, I was able to listen for a few minutes to the First Program of the Greek Cypriot radio CyBC on the medium wave of 963 KHz. This frequency is used 24 hours a day by Radio Tunisi International Channel which in my QTH is prevalent throughout the day. However, around 23 UTC, in conjunction with a French-language news programme, unmistakably Greek music was heard in the background. A quick check on the broadcaster's stream confirmed that it was indeed the Cypriot broadcaster which was even prevalent on the channel for a few minutes.

UNA BREVE STORIA DI CyBC TRATTA DAL SITO DELL'EMITTENTE


The Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation(CyBC) is the successor of the Cyprus Broadcasting Service (CBS), which was founded in 1953 by the then British Colonial Administration of Cyprus. The Cypriot Television has been operating experimentally since 1957.

Following the independence of Cyprus and the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus in 1960, the Cyprus Broadcasting Service was renamed Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation and since then has been operating as a semi-governmental organization.

In 1974, CyBC suffered a heavy blow to its facilities due to the Turkish invasion and the continued occupation of about 38% of the territory of Cyprus (loss of the central relay station in the Pentadaktylos mountain range, loss of other substations etc). 1974, however, was also the beginning of the rapid development of CyBC both in radio as well as television.

In 1982, the black & white TV productions became colored and since 2011 the analogue transmission signal has become digital.

CyBC today operates:

a) Four radio channels (First, Second, Third and Classic).

b) Three television channels (CyBC1, CyBC2, CyBC HD) as well as a satellite channel (CyBC Sat).

The CyBC is an active member of international Broadcasting Organizations such as EBU, CIRCOM, COPEAM. It has a rich archive and also operates a museum of audiovisual technology, housed in a contemporary building on the premises of the corporation.
