Maiac (Ukrainian: Маяк; Russian: Мая́к, Mayak) is an urban settlement (according to Transnistrian legislation[2]), or city (according to the Moldovan legislation) in the Grigoriopol District, Transnistria, Moldova, 13 km (8 miles) east of Grigoriopol, on the Ukrainian border.

History

In the 16th Century the village was named Janyk Hisar and Majak Geczit.[3]

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 9.5 km² (3¾ sq. mi.), and housed at the end of 1980s 20 transmitters. In 1997 two masts - one 350 metres (1100') the other 250 metres (820') - of the facility used for medium wave broadcasting collapsed as a result of icing.[4]

In October 2007 the Russian unitary enterprise Russian Television and Radio Networks acquired 100% of shares of the TRTC for $3,314,388.[5]

gollark: I would be surprised if it was an actually significant difference either way.

gollark: * people with problems

gollark: To be fair, if you look at a support thing like this it'll heavily select for problems.

gollark: It still seems to *work*, but the noise is annoying and I figure relying on it continuing to work with a capacitor blown or something is maybe not smart.
