The Voice of America, which has broadcast from inside Russia since the end of the Cold War, has been silenced in the new chill between Russia and the U.S.
VOA’s over-the-air broadcasts on the 810 AM frequency in Moscow ceased at the start of April, after Russian authorities refused to renew a long-standing broadcasting contract, according to a statement by the U.S. Broadcasting Board of Governors, the independent federal agency that oversees the American government’s international media operations.
