Finding a local voice on FM
Golos Angary, or “Voice of the Angara”, began broadcasting on 7 November 1995. Founder Yuri Osintsev recalled visiting Irkutsk’s Volna Baikala to learn how a station produced its own programming. Bratsk needed its own presenters, music schedule and local news.
The river gave the station a name recognisable across a city spread between distant neighbourhoods. Local radio accompanied journeys, working hours and life at home. Familiar streets, events and people made the service relevant to its audience.
The station belongs to the commercial media environment that developed in the 1990s. Its history is separate from earlier wired broadcasting and from the municipal Ogni Angary service.
