"In spring of 2013, three different people came to me within three days and said that they could not work in their media outlets any longer for various reasons — being pressurized and being told to do what they did not want to do. They asked, "What shall we do?" I said, "But of course, we should found our own radio." So we started for several reasons. First, it is cheap — it is so cheap to found a radio. We actually took out something like 300 to 400 hryvnias, which was, of course, a pittance — something like 40 to 50 dollars at that time. Everyone took from their pockets. We bought our first recorders, bought our first legal software — because we wanted to be irreproachable — and we started the radio."
