Pori 963 kHz remains silent!.
Alfa Media Group, which was granted a broadcasting licence for the medium wave frequency 963 kHz in 2024, has not started broadcasting; the licence has therefore expired.
The Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom) confirmed this week that the licence has expired. Alfa Media Group intended to start broadcasting from a radio station in Pori.
Traficom granted the broadcasting licence for the frequency block “Pori 3” – more specifically the frequency 963 kHz – in November 2024.
Alfa Media Group was the only applicant for the frequency. Traficom had granted the company a deferral for the start of broadcasting; operations were to have commenced no later than 1 June 2026.
The company therefore did not start broadcasting within the set timeframe, and Traficom thus confirmed that the licence had expired. The project was stalled due to extensive equipment repairs needed at the old radio station and financing difficulties. Digita’s old transmitter, which had been unused for years, proved to be irreparable.
PS.
