YU: Radio B 92 ist frei

Nach jahrelangem Kampf ist diese Art von Zensur besiegt.
Angeführt von xs4all.nl haben auch andere, völlig
verschiedene Menschen & Medien versucht, B 92 zu helfen.
Der unten zitierte Effort, Sendungen von B 92 mit 500 KW auf
1476 KHz AM via ORF Wien europaweit auszustrahlen, hatte
allerdings den gegenteiligen Effekt: zwei Tage nach
Aufsetzen des Relays wurde die Station von den gesetzlich
ermächtigten Behörden Jugoslawiens geschlossen.

Realaudio & AM: B 92 sendet via ORF
Ab heute abend 22.15 wird die Stimme der Opposition, das
drangsalierte & verbotene Belgrader Radio B 92 von
Österreich aus europaweit zu hören sein. Ermöglicht wird
dies durch ein Zusammenspiel von einem Realaudio feed mit
einer mächtigen alten Mittelwellen-Orgel auf der Frequenz
1476 KHZ.

ANEM press release

RADIO B92 LIBERATED

BELGRADE, Friday September 6, 2000 - Among yesterday's
wave of people liberating pro-regime media throughout Serbia,
a group of Otpor activists liberated the premises of Radio
B92. The station was then handed over to its real owners,
the staff and associates who created the radio and made it
the most influential and celebrated broadcaster in Belgrade in
the past decade.

None of the station's real owners had been inside the
premises since April 2, 1999, when, after an illegal decision
by the Belgrade Business Court, the director of Radio B92
was dismissed by a new pro-regime management and
employees denied access. The station's staff were not even
permitted to remove their personal belongings and
documents.

At the time of the hijack, the station had not broadcast for
eleven days after police serving a banning order had
confiscated essential transmission equipment and thrown the
station's editor-in-chief, Veran Matic, into jail.

This was the third banning of the Belgrade's highest-rating
radio station. It had earlier been banned during protest in
March, 1991 and during the winter demonstrations of 1996.
On that occasion, public pressure forced the government to
rescind the ban after less than two days. The government
claimed then that there had been no ban, instead making the
now notorious claim that the transmissions had been cut by
water seeping into a coaxi
al cable.

All permanent staff of Radio B92 were sacked by the usurping management, and associate contributors left the radio in solidarity. They stayed together to launch the ANEM project Free B92 and in August 1999 resumed broadca
sting as Radio B2-92 on the third frequency of Studio B Radio until that station was taken over by the Serbian Government on May 17 this year.

Even after the takeover of Studio B, Radio B2-92 did not disappear from the air. It re-emerged as a regional radio and television station in collaboration with all stations on the ANEM network and other friendly electron
ic media in the region. In this way it managed to provide accurate and up-to-date information not only throughout Serbia, but the entire Balkans, even during the most difficult periods of the information blockade. News
was distributed 24 hours a day on a radio program transmitting on several frequencies in an attempt to avoid constant signal jamming. It was also broadcast on Net radio on the most frequently-visited Web site in Yugoslav
ia, with more than 100,000 visitors daily. More than 20,000 readers subscribed to a daily e-mail news bulletin, which in many towns in Serbia was printed and distributed as a newsletter. All of these broadcast modules t
ogether make up on totally new electronic news medium, Radio-Web-TV, which has emerged as a response to the circumstances and the dramatic events which created it.

The wheel has turned full circle with the return to the premises of the original Radio B92 in the Dom Omladine building in central Belgrade.

We salute all the member stations of ANEM and other independent media for the courage and professionalism they have shown in these most difficult days and years. We salute everyone who has been willing to defend the free
dom of expression, whatever the cost. We salute the liberators of Radio B92. In this euphoric moment we also especially salute all our courageous colleagues who have been murdered by the cowardly oppressors and not live
d to see this day of freedom. We salute all our colleagues who have been harassed, beaten and jailed. Nor have we forgotten the ruthless fines and other forms of repression of the independent media. Our task now is to r
edress these injustices urgently wherever possible.

The independent media have done their part of the job in introducing democratic change to this society despite all the obstacle and brutal repression to which they have been subject. ANEM and Free Radio B92 will remain d
edicated to the principles of professional work and the truthful and accurate provision of information to the public. Only the scope of that work will be broadened as we embrace even more modern media technology.

Veran Matic, Chairman, ANEM
