Re: [Swprograms] VOA News Now

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think you will find that News Now in particular (i.e., actual news and news
features) has indeed been cut back drastically. The rest of the time has music,
and Special English --- I keep running across this during the 1500 hour on
9760, which is prime time in India, for example and could be used for better
purposes. Have you found an actual PROGRAM schedule yet for VOA B-04?
