The National Electronic Mass Media Council today unanimously selected Latvian State Radio News Service editor in chief Janis Siksnis to head the Latvian State Radio, the council's representative Sanita Blomiece told the "Nozare.lv" business portal.

The Electronic Mass Media Council interviewed all of the candidates for the post, including Siksnis, Latvian Composers Union member Janis Porietis, media group "Super FM" Marketing Director Polina Nazarova, and businessman Uldis Plumite.

As reported, Kolats resigned on November 11, 2011 to work as the head of Latvian State Television's News Service.
