According to her, Belopolsky tower has a powerful analogue transmitters region: channels “UA:the First” and “1+1” is carried out analogue broadcasting using transmitters with a power of 25 KW. Also, the tower has transmitters for digital broadcasting 32 channels transmitter and receiver.
Thus, after a power outage, without terrestrial TV and radio broadcasting remained residents of all surrounding areas: Putivl, Buryn, Nedryhaylivskoho, Lebedyn, Sumy and belopolye.
“Disabling transmission devices left residents of all surrounding areas without television. The silence in the air. I got the phone today, “red”, called many residents of Belopolsky and other areas,” said Yakubenko.
