YEREVAN, OCTOBER 29, NOYAN TAPAN. By the 2009 draft state budget,
expenditures of the National Commission on Television and Radio will
make about 95.7 mln drams, which will be spent on the commission's
maintenance.
The commission chairman Grigor Amalian said at the October 28
sitting of the National Assembly standing committees that this sum
is sufficient for ensuring the activities of the commission.
The 2009 draft state budget envisages that the financing of the
programs implemented by the Public TV and Radio Company's Council
will amount to 3.8 bln drams - against 3.2 bln drams in 2008. In the
words of the council's chairman Alexan Harutyunian, the growth of
expenditures by nearly 581 mln drams or 18.1% as compared with 2008
is mainly conditioned by the growth of expenditures on the existing
programs. In particular, a growth of 457 mln drams is due to 24-hour
broadcasting instead of the previous 18-hour broadcasting by the
republican network of the Public Radio Company's first channel,
and to the creation of a 24-hour television channel on culture. He
said that in 2009 the pops symphony orchestra, the Aram Merangulian
ensemble of folk musical instruments, and "Arevik" children's ensemble
will be included again in the staff of Public Radio Company CJSC.
