Ikh Mongol FM 99.7

Ikh Mongol FM 99, 7 is a youth radio with a round-the-clock programme established in 2007 by Bilegt Dolgoon LLC. The founder and the sole owner of the radio is Mr. Ch.Davaabayar, who also has businesses in taxi service, fast food chains and hot line information services. He is the initiator, founder and chairman of the National Wealth Producers Association which unites small to middle local enterprises. In 2012, after the Democratic Party (DP) won the parliamentary elections, Mr. Davaabayar was appointed as the director of the Mongolian National Television. In 2016 he was nominated for the parliamentary elections by the Democratic Party but dropped his candidacy due to internal disagreements on the electoral district devised by his party. He also retreated from his DP membership shortly after declining his candidacy. Mr. Davaabayar is considered to have close relations with the Parliament’s Speaker Z. Enkbold due to the same origins (Uvurkhangai province) and supposedly close business relations. The executive director of the radio is Ms. B. Enkh-Amgalan. Even though she is not known in the media sector, she represents the company for a long time as a young manager who enjoys the owner’s trust. Ikh Mongol FM 99,7 transmitted for the first time in Mongolia the FIFA World Cup in 2014. This radio also distinguishes itself from other commercial radios through its timely dissemination of current affairs news. Ikh Mongol FM 99.7 organizes the annual social event “Good action” which became the radio’s brand mark. According to the Press Institute’s audience surveys, Ikh Mongol FM 99.7 was ranked top three in 2009 -2012. In 2012, the radio received the “Best Radio” award of the Press Institute.
