[Swprograms] More on BBC Shortwave Cuts

["Sandy Finlayson" <SFinlayson@xxxxxxx>]

Looking at the frequency pages there are a lot more cuts coming the BBC on Shortwave.

The following areas are also being impacted.

>From March 27 2005, there will be adjustments to the BBC World Service short and medium wave provision of the Arabic Service across North Africa to reflect global changes in audiences' use of short wave. 
There will be no Arabic Service overnight broadcasts on short wave or medium wave from 2300 GMT to 0200 GMT.


>From March 27 2005, there will be adjustments to the BBC World Service short and medium wave provision of the Arabic Service across the Middle East to reflect global changes in audiences' use of short wave. 
There will be no Arabic Service overnight broadcasts on short wave or medium wave from 2300 GMT to 0200 GMT.

>From March 27 2005 there will be adjustments to the BBC World Service short wave provisions across ALL of Europe. The number of hours broadcast on short wave in English to Europe will be reduced to two blocks at peak times daily, in the early morning and evening.

The bottom line for all of this is that some of the frequencies which we had hoped might provide service to fill in the gaps to the Americas may not be there. 

Not good news.

Sandy
