BBC Radiio Ordered Off Russian FM

The BBC's Russian language service will no longer be heard on Russian FM radio, after the country's media regulator ordered that it be removed. The broadcaster's last FM distribution partner in Russia, Bolshoye Radio, said it had been told to remove BBC content or risk being shut down. Two other Russian FM stations have dropped BBC programming recently. The BBC's Russian Service can still be heard online and on medium and short wave frequencies in Russia. The BBC will appeal against the decision.
