Ownership and governance
Radio Grand is operated by Edel Veys-Ali LLC, company owned in a proportion of 26% by the government of Uzbekistan, according to a 2023 study. The majority stake is held by a private individual.
Source of funding and budget
Radio Grand is financed through a combination of commercial advertising revenues and state-linked support. Although no financial reports are publicly available, its partial government ownership suggests a level of state subsidy or preferential treatment (such as licensing access and frequency allocation).
Editorial independence
As a broadcaster with government ownership, Radio Grand’s content, like that of most Uzbek radio broadcasters, is constrained by Uzkomnazorat, the state’s media regulator, and adheres to the government’s red lines in covering political and social issues. Entertainment programming dominates, while political reporting avoids criticism of the authorities.
