Jil FM
Yet another interesting radio station but in this case is in medium waves . This
station has some special music characteristics that make them not only interesting
but also special .
As it is located in Algeria, aimed at younger people , it mixes several distinctive
music styles (as of start of 13 though I think the continue to use the same scheme
now )
- the local Berber music . of the local tribe . this music highly reminds me the
music from Horn of Africa !
- Arabic ,mostly pop . possibly the national music
- French , as they are under French influence
- Western , as with most stations do for international music
So this makes them with a rather complex music style
The station transmits on the frequency of 531 kHz East beam and 548 west beam and
is part of the national radio network of Algeria . In Thessaloniki it can be
heard from on late local night times ( ie 9 pm ) to ca 6 am in the morning local
times (-3 for UTC )provided propagation conditions are good . With the help of
external antenna or Am loops this can be extended to about 1 hour ,. Main signal
levels are S9 to S9+20 making one of the strongest stations in the lower MW band
548kHz can be heard in the clear on local mornings (03 UTC )with nearly same signal
as 531 kHZ ( abt S7 as for 3/9/13)
Little internet research yielded the news that this station uses the program
Radio-Assist from NETIA (a Globecast company ) for automated music scheduling (news
on May 13 for the program upgrade )
