It will be broadcast on UA: Ukrainian Radio in the south of Ukraine and part of the Crimean Peninsula on the frequency of 100.7 FM, as well as in the medium-wavelength band on the frequency of 549 AM. Due to this, the project will cover 100% of rural areas and more than 95% of Crimean cities, as well as almost the entire territory of Ukraine in the evening.

A feature of the project will be the first and only in Ukraine space information and entertainment show in the Crimean Tatar language.

"Ukrainian radio. Crimea "will be broadcast five times a week, from Monday to Friday, from 19:10 to 20:00 Kyiv time. The speech will be based on several programs.

On Mondays at 19:10 will be published "Nation. Crimea ”(Millet. Qirim) is a program about people from Crimea: their life stories, culture and traditions. The program will be produced by the Kherson branch of the Public and will also be broadcast as part of the regional radio broadcasting program in the Kherson region, which is currently the second after Kyiv in terms of the number of migrants from the Crimean semi-island.

From Tuesday to Thursday at 19:10 there will be a program "Theme of the day", which will be produced jointly with the TV channel UA: CRIMEA.

At 19:40 from Monday to Thursday, there will be evening information and analytical program "Crimea - Ukraine" about the events in Crimea. The program will be prepared by the world service of Ukrainian radio.

And on Fridays from 19:10 to 20:00 the first in the history of Ukrainian radio broadcasting music and entertainment show in the Crimean Tatar language KEÇ GECE SHOW (KECH GECE SHOW) will sound. The host of the show is Crimean Tatar journalist Muslim Umerov.

"The first program in the Crimean Tatar language is what we are most proud of in this project. The launch of radio programs in the Crimean Tatar language was a special assignment of Zurab Alasania. Of course, there were some radio stations on the Internet aimed at the Crimean Tatar community, but they were always very specialized. From now on, full-fledged information and entertainment show will be broadcast entirely in Crimean Tatar on the national radio. It is both an entertaining and educational program with elements of talk shows. Thus, we integrate Crimean Tatar issues into the all-Ukrainian information context. This is extremely important both for Crimean Tatars living in different parts of Ukraine and for Ukrainians themselves if we want to build a democratic society and protect our national interests", - Dmytro Khorkin said, a member of the NSTU board responsible for the radio platform.

KEÇ GECE SHOW is positioned as a music and entertainment show, which, however, can discuss quite serious topics. The guests of the first issue, which will air on the 21st of May, will be Ukrainian Crimean Tatar politician and public figure Refat Chubarov and Crimean actor, screenwriter and stand-up comedian Suleiman Umerov.

The program will also have a video version and will be broadcast on the UA: Ukrainian Radio YouTube channel. And all programs of the project "Ukrainian Radio. Crimea" can also be listened to in a separate section on the website UA: Ukrainian Radio.

"Ukrainian Radio. Crimea is a great joint work that unites many quite different people for a common goal. It involves the World Service of Ukrainian Radio, TV presenters from UA: CRIMEA, the Kherson branch of the Public, and, of course, the team of the First Channel of Ukrainian Radio. These are all high-class professionals with extensive experience who are very well versed in the subject. I am sure that in the end, we will get an extremely interesting, high-quality product that will meet all the standards of the Public. At the same time, if we talk about the show on Fridays, it will be a Ukrainian information product aimed at Turkic speakers. Because Turks, Azerbaijanis and Gagauz, for example, also understand the Crimean Tatar language very well”, - Yulia Sheludko said, executive producer of UA: Ukrainian Radio.
