BULGARIA In regard to recent discussions about SW transmitters in
Bulgaria, some facts about the property background might be of interest.
The radio & TV transmitter networks in Bulgaria (incl. the SW sites) are
owned and operated by the Bulgarian Telecommunications Company (BTC). In
2004, this former state enterprise was privatized; 65% of the shares were
bought by Viva Ventures, a Vienna-based subsidiary of the Anglo-US
investment fund Advent International. The BTC website (which has an
extensive English version) provides a pricelist for the lease of BTC's
broacasting transmitters in Bulgaria, incl. SW:
Current exchange rate: 1 BGN ca. 0.69 US$. All broadcasts on SW from
Bulgaria (Radio Bulgaria and others) are airtime leases on transmitters
>from BTC.
