This strange demand is borne out of frustration at the inability of most areas in Arunachal Pradesh to access any Indian news channel or tune into All India Radio programmes. Both All India Radio (AIR) and Doordarshan, forget any private news channels, are jammed by the more powerful Chinese transmitters that are used use to air their radio and television programmes to the residents of the Arunachal districts near the Chinese border. The weak transmitter in Itanagar does not cover the remote districts of the state, though it serves the state capital and areas near it. At a time when China is claiming Arunachal Pradesh as its own territory, Delhi?s oversight is a glaring example of successive governments? lackadaisical attitude to the people of the region. After the 1962 border war with China, New Delhi had distributed free radio sets to community centres across the state. AIR programmes together with Hindi film music became popular since then. But around 1965, the distribution of free radio sets stopped. A few years later, the Chinese began jamming the air waves to beam Chinese programmes. The people of the area neither speak nor understand Chinese. ?We have been demanding more powerful transmitters for many years but nobody is bothered. We want to access Air India Radio and Doordarshan and know what is happening in the rest of the country,? said Anthony, a human rights activist from Arunachal. He said out of anger and frustration he had asked Indian officials to start Chinese classes. There is also the fear in the districts bordering China that New Delhi may let go of their areas to China during border talks. http://zlgr.multiply.com (raidio monitoring site plus audio clips ) http://www.worldisround.com/articles/302315/ (Litohoro) 321199/Tinos http://www.flickr.com/photos/zachgr pictures upload . on my main : www.geocities.com/zliangas -tty-px.html : test of various TTY programs -ethics.htm : greek ethics , days and institutions -frape.htm: the greek way of cofee !!!

The report obtained on the eve of a congressional debate over future Cuba-related funding cites a boost in TV Marti's signals reaching Cuba, but it bases those conclusions on anecdotal evidence not included in the report, not on independent facts. "We're very pleased. I think it reflects the hard work that's being done here," said Alberto Mascaro, chief of staff for the Cuba broadcasting office, "and more importantly it reflects the hard work of our employees." A spokeswoman for the State Department's inspector general's office, which conducted the review, said the agency would not comment on a report that had not yet been released. Details of the report were first published in Wednesday's edition of CBS 4 news partner The Miami Herald. Radio and TV Marti are requesting about $34 million in next year's budget, down from $38 million they received last year. The Bush administration also requested $46 million for other Cuba-related programs to promote political change on the island, but a House bill likely headed to the floor this week slashed that to $9 million. That makes money for the Marti stations all the more important for those who support the current U.S. policy toward Cuba, which has been under an American trade embargo for more than 40 years. The U.S. transmissions were designed to offer an alternative to the tightly controlled Cuban media. Critics, including U.S. Reps. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., and Bill Delahunt, D- Mass., have long accused the network of airing one-sided broadcasts and giving jobs to political allies. They also maintain the TV broadcasts are a waste of money because they have long been jammed by Fidel Castro's government. The report makes a number of recommendations, including evaluating whether Marti programs recently carried on South Florida TV and radio stations reach Cubans. It also urged tighter security and better quality control to make sure Marti employees follow Voice of America standards. Finally, the review urged the Cuba broadcasting office to create a long- term plan for providing programming in a post-Castro Cuba, as well as how to compete now with the "Telesur" satellite broadcast, funded by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's government. The review lauded the broadcasting office's use of a Gulfstream jet to beam signals into Cuba, saying it could be replicated in other parts of the world where governments attempt to block U.S. broadcasts. The Cuba broadcasting office's deployment cost $10 million in 2006, and it plans to add another plane later this year. Both aircraft should cost about $6 million annually. Although in past years, similar reviews of the stations included listener and viewer data, the recent audit, conducted from January through March, did not. Mascaro said conducting accurate surveys of Cuban listening and viewing patterns is next to impossible in the communist nation. dg http://zlgr.multiply.com (raidio monitoring site plus audio clips ) http://www.worldisround.com/articles/302315/ (Litohoro) 321199/Tinos http://www.flickr.com/photos/zachgr pictures upload . on my main : www.geocities.com/zliangas -tty-px.html : test of various TTY programs -ethics.htm : greek ethics , days and institutions -frape.htm: the greek way of cofee !!!
