Maiac (Ukrainian: Маяк; Russian: Мая́к, Mayak) is an urban settlement (according to Transnistrian legislation^[2]), or city (according to the Moldovan legislation) in the Grigoriopol District, Transnistria, Moldova, 11 km (7 miles) northeast of Grigoriopol, on the Ukrainian border.

History[]

In the 16th Century the village was named Janyk Hisar and Majak Geczit.^[3]

Transmitter[]

The Transnistrian Radio and Television Center (TRTC) is located in Maiac. It is a large broadcasting centre for short- and mediumwave, which was built up in the years between 1968 and 1975. It covers an area of 8.2 km² (3.2 sq. mi.), and housed at the end of 1980s 20 transmitters. In 1997 two masts - one 350 metres (1100') the other 250 metres (820') - of the facility used for medium wave broadcasting collapsed as a result of icing.^[4]

In October 2007 the Russian unitary enterprise Russian Television and Radio Networks acquired 100% of shares of the TRTC for $3,314,388.^[5]
