Re: [Swprograms] VOA News Now



FWIW, I logged the VOA in English with decent shortwave audio at the following times last weekend while DXPeditioning at Pennsylvania's French Creek State Park:
 
0300-0430 UTC (Africa service)
1200-1300 UTC (Asia/Pacific service)
1600-1700 UTC (Africa service)
2000-2200 UTC (Africa service)
 
Admittedly it isn't as easy as it used to be to catch the VOA, and the spoken-word program variety has fallen off (Coast to Coast, Main Street, and Dateline are all kaput), but the USA hasn't totally lost its "Voice".

Subject: [Swprograms] VOA News Now

In doing some research on the VOA site, I note that the VOA frequency schedule has shortwave coverage available virtually 24/7.  There are far fewer frequencies than has been the case historically; and VOA News Now broadcasts, in most cases, to just one region of the world at a time.  Nonetheless, there had been reports that the VOA would be reducing its broadcast day to as little as eleven or fewer hours a day during the B04 season.

Does that mean that the protests registered over those previously reported plans have had a measure of success?

Just got a note from Kim Elliott -- he hosted today's "Talk To America", interviewing Richard Sambrook, who now heads up the BBC World Service, succeeding Mark Byford (who was kicked upstairs).
 
Unfortunately I don't see any links to "on-demand" audio for TTA...if Kim points one out to me I'll pass it on.
 
Sorry this came late.
