Transmitter

{{main|Grigoriopol 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 {{convert|8.2|km2|sqmi|frac=16}}, and housed at the end of 1980s 20 transmitters. In 1997 two masts – one {{convert|350|m|ft}} and the other {{cvt|250|m|ft}} – of the facility used for medium wave broadcasting collapsed as a result of icing.{{Cite web |url=https://www.panoramio.com/photo/2753512 |title=www.panoramio.com |access-date=2017-10-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171017181704/http://www.panoramio.com/photo/2753512 |archive-date=2017-10-17 |url-status=dead }}

In October 2007, the Russian unitary enterprise Russian Television and Radio Networks acquired 100% of shares of the TRTC for $3,314,388.[http://www.regnum.ru/news/915329.html "The New Owner of the Transnistrian Radio and TV Center Intends to Make it Work Successful"], November 14, 2007 {{in lang|ru}}

The Grigoriopol transmission station in Pridnestrovje/Transnistru only transmits programs from Trans World Radio at 1548 kHz. Instead, Radio Rossii from Moscow is now broadcasting on the 999 kHz frequency, since April 5, 2022, around the clock and with a transmission power of 1000 kW.[https://www.radioeins.de/programm/sendungen/medienmagazin/radio_news/beitraege/2022/pridnestrowje_grigoriopol.html Radio Rossii statt Trans World Radio] radioeins.de April, 06 2022 {{in lang|de}}
