Summary/Abstract: This text analyzes the application of the new broadcasting system introduced in order to unite the communication space of Croatia. In extraordinary circumstances, such as disastrous tempests, earthquakes, or armed conflicts, all the familiar media channels cease functioning and communication ’’obscurity” ensues. This communication ’’silence” in the channels is observed and estimated on the example of national and local radio broadcasting. The model is studied from various perspectives, e.g. conceiving programs, technical interconnection, and communication noise. Starting from these the example of the breaking of the blocade of the media space in the war against Croatia is adduced and analyzed.
