Hit TV and 50/50

This channel becomes more and more popular. The reason that it is the one absolutely music channel in Kazakhstan. This is the progress in Kazakhstani television. Also, a big “plus” that teenager become to listen Kazakh songs and watch news in own language. According to the news law in KZ that was introduce in June 17 by the Minister of Information,“in the context of new frequency auctions, that it would be necessary to close certain stations or refuse to renew their broadcast licenses, if they were not in conformity with the rule requiring 50 percent Kazakh language content in broadcasting. At that time, reportedly no stations (government or private) met the 50 percent Kazakh requirement, but the threat of non-renewal was directed at a few, out-of-favor independent stations. “

If station will broke the rules, they will be closed under Kazakhstan’s language law. It dictates that 50% of all broadcast must be in the native Kazakh language. That level is virtually impossible to achieve. In fact, our own survey of Kazakhstani broadcasters stations show none of the stations can maintain the 50/50 balance including the government’s own radio and television stations. That is why many channels broadcast a Kazakh part only in the night. But these channels are not only use these law as the main one, but also they include more native programs. That is why Kazakh growing generation will speak more in their own language, and this one of the way people speaks in Kazakh.
