It was since last year when Ulgii city inhabitants obtained access to cable television, with cable satellites having been installed for around 3500 families, which implies that around 17 thousand Ulgii city inhabitants are now able to receive 24 TV channels.

“JSMM” Co., which concluded a treaty with the relevant organization in China’s autonomy province Jinjan Uigar, collects cable television fees from viewers and by using installed locks shuts down cable television for those who failed to pay.

In addition to four new FM stations having come into use in the aimag’s centre last year, preparations are under way to set up FM stations in Deluun and Bulgan sums. In addition, 12-24 page “Jana Dauir” newspaper comes out not less than 2 times a month with a reference supplement devoted to children.

That the aimag’s education and culture centre now has a newly-established printing plant provided an opportunity to publish the press, books and exercise-books locally.
There is widespread joy over the fact that there has been substantive progress in Bayan-Ulgii’s media and that the locals there have started to part with intellectual poverty.
