Turning off analogue broadcasting means leaving the entire non-urban population without local television broadcasting, and there is no alternative compromise solution that could suit all market participants yet," said Alexander Shirokih.

The decision "On the use of radio frequencies of 174-230 MHz and 470-790 MHz by radio transmitting devices for analog television broadcasting during the transition to digital television broadcasting (until 2015)" was adopted at a meeting of the State Commission on Radio Frequencies on August 19, 2009 and has been extended several times since then - the last time this happened on November 17, 2023. Then the commission extended "the possibility of using radio transmitting devices for analog television broadcasting" until December 31, 2024.
