Radio “Imrouz” (“Today”) has been silent for several days. The founder of this radio company is the media holding “Oriyono Media”. Leaders of the media holding refer to some technical problems.

Rustami Joni, director general of the media holding told the Asia Plus news agency that since 8 April they cannot broadcast. “We currently negotiate with the relevant agencies, in particular, with the State enterprise “Teleradiocom”, which is in charge of technical support”, — said Joni.

According to unofficial sources, the radio company has recently received a letter from the State Committee on Television and Radio under the government containing promises to resolve the problem during 24 hours. However, “Teleradiocom” denies such promises referring to the fact that “Imrouz” is a private enterprise, and it has no affiliation to “Teleradiocom”.

Private radio company “Imrouz” commenced broadcasting in Dushanbe on 9 August 2007.
