Photo: ITAR-TASSThe Law "On Protection of Children", which entered into force on September 1, will oblige musical radio stations to inform listeners about compositions containing age -related restrictions.
"It is obvious that different words are heard in the songs. Some describe quite naturalistic actions. And we agreed that the National Association of TV presenters will create its own expert structure, which will, at the request of the media, will conduct a preliminary examination of musical works at the request of radio stations. Gradually they will analyze the entire controversial musical content and make recommendations: what songs are subject to marketing, and which is not, which is not, - said in - said in - not what is not. An interview with Roskomnadzor, Alexander Zharov, with the trade union, we agreed on such a scheme: the radio station with the announcement of our output data reports that there is information on this radio station, which falls under the age limit, and if there is such a song, in this program, a composition is present in this program that has the corresponding age -related age restrictions for listening. "
However, the radio stations themselves are still poorly represented how the law will act, and took a wait -and -see position.
Roman Emelyanov, member of the Presidential Council on Culture and Art,
The program director of the Russian Radio (part of the Russian Media Group along with Hit FM, Radio Maximum, DFM and Monte Carlo):
"At the moment, the launcher of the radio broadcast is carried out, according to the agreements reached with Roskomnadzor, four times a day and is released along with the output of the radio station. In this form, the execution of the law does not cause serious harm to the quality of the product and at the same time focuses on the attention of the students on the fact that the ether may contain the restrictions on the age of the final understanding. Each individual element of the ether, no so far and precedents in individual musical works.
It is difficult to say anything about foreign musical compositions, since there are no explanatory documents and a general understanding of issues regarding even Russian-language music.
Do not forget that the specificity of radio broadcasting does not allow, unlike television, printed publications and the Internet, to keep warning information throughout the broadcast, otherwise only warnings would sound on the air. So, any listener can start listening to one or another product at the moment when the wary information sounded.
I am sure that the initiators of the law, the bodies of regulating execution and the media community will have enough common sense not to go too far and the audience will still receive a high-quality uncomfortable product, and parents will be more attentive to what they listen and watch their child. ”
Olga Volkova, press attache "Multimedia holding" ("Our Radio", Best FM, RU FM, Rock FM, Ultra):
"We, of course, do not make any official statements yet, because the information is new, and we still think what we can do. We have different radio stations, including our radio-this is a Russian rock music that contains in the semantics, including calls for drinking alcohol, smoking. And we will think how to work with all this. We still have RUFM-this is a new Russian There may also be their semantic features, maybe not so much as in the fatal songs, but still this is not for small children. How to work with this, you still need to think. "

"We take a wait-and-see one in the calculation that our lawmakers will nevertheless make some final decision. So far, there is nothing to comment on: there is no solution, the law is still raw. There will be a meeting with media representatives, discussion. The issue is quite difficult. We will look at what will happen next. Of course, it will be a little strange for the musical radio station, if we have to put something after each song, but we will observe the law."
