Radio 101.2 was a radio station in the Belarusian capital of Minsk.[1] In 1995 and 1996 the radio station, which is at the frequency 101.2, was broadcasting news and was not affiliated with the national government.[2] The editorial staff was assembled mostly by hiring the journalists of the closed station Belarusian: Беларуская маладзёжная.[3]

Soros Foundation helped to buy the equipment for newly started radio in 1995.[4] The station was closed on formally technical reasons and was transferred over to the Belarusian Republican Youth Union, who still uses the radio today. The government has claimed that the station, and its frequency, was interfering with the radio communications of the Minsk police force. Independent groups claimed that this was another method by the government of Alexander Lukashenko to suppress the freedom of the press inside of Belarus.

Reception[]

Music journalist Źmicier Padbiareski said in 2000 that the example of Radio 101.2 showed the public that the Belarusian can be profitable, since “the matter is in the quality of music and professionalism of DJs.”[5]
