History

It was launched by the People's Commissariat of Posts and Telegraphs of the Kazakh ASSR on September 29, 1921 (the date of the decision to create republican radio broadcasting). In October 1921, from Orenburg, the capital of Kazakhstan at that time, broadcasts began throughout the republic.^[1] In October 1926, the editorial office was transferred to Kzyl-Orda. It was broadcast for the first time, on March 23, 1927, a Kazakh speech. In 1931, the editorial office moved to Alma-Ata.
