Radio Serbia Internacional emite a diario su programacion en onda corta y las 24 horas del dia via satelite en serbio y 11 idiomas extranjeros. En serbio, ademas de emisiones de caracter politico-informativo a las 12.00, 15.30 y las 21.30 horas, pueden escucharse, segun el esquema de programacion, tambien emisiones en las que se habla mas detalladamente acerca de todos los sucesos de importancia en el pais, sobre el patrimonio cultural, la tradicion y las costumbres, el turismo y la ecologia, las actualidades en los campos de la cultura y el deporte, acerca de los acontecimientos en la diaspora, las actividades de que refieren a la matriz y otros temas que reportan los tiempos y la gente, sobre todo los que nos peopone nuestra audiencia a lo largo y ancho del mundo. En idiomas extranjeros, todos estos contenidos se transmiten en emisiones de media hora de duracion, que tienen dos ediciones asi como una reemision. Las emisiones de Radio Serbia Internacional pueden escucharse tambien en el sitio de Internet www.glassrbije.org, el cual existe ya diez anos y que se ha redisenado en noviembre de 2007, unsando los programas mas avanzados. El nuevo sitio, muy moderno, informativo y practico, ya ha recibido los elogios de quienes lo han visitado, pero tambien de expertos. En el se pueden leer y escuchar informaciones de todos los campos, desde la politica, pasando por la economia, la cultura, las costumbres y tradiciones, hasta el deporte. Asi, hasta el auditorio y los visitantes del sitio de Radio Serbia Internacional llegan por medio de Interent noticias de Serbia, de la region y del mundo, en doce idiomas, y no son pocos los sitios de Internet que ya han instalado el hipevincluo directo con el sitio de Radio Serbia Internacional. Radio Serbia Internacional es una de las estaciones radiales mas antiguas, fundada seis anos antes que La Voz de America. El programa para el extranjero comenzo a emitirse el 8 de marzo de 1936 en el Reino de Yugoslavia, y el motivo para fundar la radioemsiora de onda corta fue la necesidad de contrarrestar la propaganda fascista. En noviembre de 1941, durante la ocupacion de Belgrado en la II Guerra Mundial, comenzo a funcionar Yugoslavia Libre, la cual hasta 1945 emitio su programa radial desde la ciudad de Ufe, en los Urales. A paritr de 1954, el programa para el extranjero se emite en el marco de Radio Belgrado. Por resolucion del Gobierno de la Republica Popular Federativa de Yugoslavia, se fundo Radio Yugoslavia, la cual, con ese estatus, trabajo hasta enero de 1954, cuando Radio Belgrado reasumio la emision del programa para el extranjero. La decision de fundar la organizacion laboral de informacion Radio Yugoslavia se tomo el 26 de enero de 1977, y la radio emisora, como institucion independiente, comienza trabajar el 2 de enero de 1978. La larga y turbulenta historia de la unica emisora de onda corta de Serbia que emite su programacion para la diaspora y el mundo, tuvo su eclipse informativo a fines de los anos 90 bajo el regimen de Slobodan Milosevic. Despues de los cambios democraticos del 5 de octubre de 2000, Radio Serbia Internacional vuelve de nuevo a trabajar de manera normal, guiada por la aspiracion de alcanzar altos estandares profesionales. En constantes condiciones de precariedad financiera y material no fue sencillo, en a?os anteriores, realizar lo planeado. La caducidad de la base tecnica, la falta de recursos para renovacion y la escasa comprension de la importancia de informar a la opinion publica extranjera y a la diaspora a traves de las ondas cortas, retardaron considerablemente la realizacion del plan de desarrollo de Radio Serbia Internacional. Desplegando grandes esfuerzos durante el a?o 2007 se renovaron los potentes emisores del centro de ondas cortas de Bijeljina, comenzo a emitirse el programa por satelite y se elaboro una nueva presentacion en Internet. Gracias a ello, Radio Serbia Internacional puede volver a su slogan DONDE NO NOS PUEDEN SINTONIZAR SEGURAMENTE ES EL FIN DEL MUNDO, que durante a?os fue nuestro distintivo para numerosos oyentes de todos los meridianos. En los ultimos a?os llegaron y llegan en la actualidad miles de cartas de oyentes de nuestra diaspora y del mundo entero a la Redaccion de Radio Serbia Internacional. Ellas contienen elogios, sugerencias y preguntas, siendo la constatacion mas frecuente que justamente por las ondas de Radio Serbia Internacional obtienen las informaciones mas completas sobre los acontecimientos en estos ambitos, asi como respuestas a numerosas preguntas. Las preguntas las plantean generalmente personas de nuestra diaspora, a las que les interesan, sobre todo, las soluciones legales en diferentes sectores, las condiciones para invertir capital en Serbia, las destinaciones sugeridas para vacaciones, la participacion en actividades humanitarias. Tambien hay preguntas sobre tradiciones y costumbres. La Redaccion cultiva buenas relaciones con los escuchas, porque de ese modo recibe informacion sobre la captacion de nuestros programas, ideas para su realizacion y estimulos para continuar en viando al mundo informaciones desde Serbia, porque tambien las cartas de los oyentes son un cierto tipo de confirmacion de que es necesario que exista Radio Serbia Internacional.

Odd thing was no trace at all of CKZN at this time, unlike a few nights earlier when they were equally mixing (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** INDONESIA. VOI, 9526, active March 1 at 1357 check in Korean with Indonesian accent, usual good signal. Also March 2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** JAPAN [non]. I enjoy the haiku segment on World Interactive when I catch it from NHK Warido Radio Japan --- and did so Sat March 1 at 1415 via Canada on 11705. Not the usual very strong signal, but adequate. Unfortunately, this seems to have been the last monthly haiku spot, as toward the end it was mentioned very casually in passing ``for the last time`` and they did not ask for more listener input as they normally do. Well, of course, a month from now it will be April, and R. Japan will have undergone yet more programming changes and cuts with the new fiscal year. Let`s hope what little English programming they had left after the cuts last October, will remain even without haiku, which was something so distinctively Japanese. Sackville could not keep the transmitter on long enough for us to hear when the day`s next English broadcast would be, even tho it lasted until 1429:15* (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** RUSSIA. Another check of 6020 on March 2. At 1355 under R. Australia, typical long Russian tune-up tones with pauses. No hum audible. At 1357-1402 I was ? natch ? monitoring 6074 so missed whatever was going on at hourtop on 6020 as RA was closing. At 1403, back to 6020 and did hear talk in unID language, now with the hum. I could easily believe it is Telugu. At 1422 check heard a Family Radio musical riff, as it was fading out, so now am pretty sure it`s really longpath from Samara as scheduled during this hour. Per http://www.gaisma.com/en/location/samara.html sunset at Samara today was 1820 local = 1420 UT, so quite late enough for 6020 to be propagating darkward. In fact I was hearing it right at LSS (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ** SPAIN. REE is still filling its ``DX program`` with music, and earlier in the hour on UT Sundays: Radio Waves played two pieces of pop music somehow related to radio --- I don`t remember the titles --- ending at 0032 UT March 2 on 6055, and I think was already going when I tuned in around 0020 (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTNEING DIGEST) ** VENEZUELA [non]. All I had time for Sunday March 2 in checking Al?, Presidente, was to find that at 1428, 13750 was VG // weak 13680 and 11670; 11875 underneath WEWN, not on 11680 again instead. Big open carrier on 17750, probably WYFR instead. I heard later on BBC news that on this show, HCF announced tanks positioned on Colombian border because he doesn`t like Colombia hitting FARC across another border in Ecuador. Oh, boy (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, 8GAL: was listening closely for it March 1 at 1359 until 1403, but only trace of it for a few seconds was something chirpy which may have been the CW transmitter malfunxioning. Meanwhile the Spanish 2-way SSB was back on 6072. For second morning in a row, not audible with V/CQ CW marker when checked between 1357 and 1402 March 2 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ### ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!

A recent report, African Broadcast and Film Markets, published jointly by Balancing Act and InterMedia, has documented this growth. The report - a detailed look at the state of broadcasting in 40 African countries, including 17 in-country audience surveys - provides data and insights broadcasters, advertisers and governments can use to find and develop markets, increase their reach and strengthen their impact among African audiences. Explosion in number The report finds that the liberalisation of radio broadcasting in many countries has led to an explosion in the number of radio stations, particularly those broadcasting in local languages. Known in East Africa as the "vernaculars," these stations have been a high growth area over the last five years. The most vivid example of this trend is in Uganda, where there are now more than 150 radio stations, 69% of which cater to audiences in the country's 38 different languages. Television broadcasting outlets have also increased steeply; out of 40 markets surveyed in sub-Saharan Africa, the report finds nearly half (18) have licensed free-to-air TV channels. "African broadcasting is undergoing a period of major growth as more countries are liberalising and increasing the number of channels," says Russell Southwood, author of the report. "The level of radio and television ownership has kept pace, also increasing very rapidly. International media players are paying close attention to the new opportunities that are opening up." Rise in radio listenership The most striking trend in terms of audiences is the rise in radio listenership. There is a huge appetite for FM music radio; consumers also hunger for entertainment television, says InterMedia analyst Hugh Hope-Stone. "Africans, both sub-Saharan and North African, surround themselves with music in cars, public transportation, shops and homes. Wherever deregulation has taken place, multiple FM channels have emerged. Growing cable and satellite subscriber bases suggests more people are willing and able to pay for services," he says. Alongside this interest in music and entertainment television, African listeners and viewers also hunger for news (see map below). However, the report finds they tend to trust either the new private broadcasters or NGO- run radio and TV stations for news more than they do government-run broadcasters. This is particularly true in North African countries such as Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Egypt, where channels like Al Jazeera attract large audiences. Additionally, the report finds that with the introduction of competition into the pay TV market, there are an increasing number of people with access to a wider range of programmes than are currently available on terrestrial television, particularly sports events, such as the UK Premiership and the recent Africa Cup of Nations. Further boost These services are largely delivered by satellite, although there are now a small number of IP-TV and cable operators. The majority of pay TV subscribers are found in Africa's urban areas. This trend towards pay TV is likely to receive a further boost when a number of operators introduce "triple play"- a combination service that includes voice, internet and TV programming services - later in the year. The African Broadcast and Film Markets report also includes: * an overview of the broadcast industry across the continent * the impact of liberalisation versus state control * the battle for pay-TV subscribers and potential market size * the costs of local and international programming * the digital switchover and high-definition * the continent's mobile TV roll-out It also has survey-based analyses of 17 countries: Algeria, Angola, Burundi, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda and Zimbabwe.

Forces from the transitional government of Somalia have forcibly and violently entered our premises in Mogadishu, whisking away our director Mukhtar Mohamed Hiraabe under the barrels of guns while also taking some our main studio equipments. "We condemn this barbaric attack staged on our radio station by some forces of the transitional government and we call on the government leaders firstly to assure the safety of our director, Mukhtar Mohamed Hiraabe and his immediate and unconditional release" says in a statement released by Mr. Abdimaalik Yusuf Mohamud, Chairman of Shabelle Media Network. "Somalia's media is facing danger which will ultimately and surely silence the freedom of speech in Somalia and the flow of information out the country if the government doesn't respect the basics of democracy on which it was formed" adds the statement also calling on the government the return of the equipment taken. Shabelle Media and media houses in the capital have suffered enough under deadly raids and shutdowns by the transitional government and many professional journalists have fled the country after some journalists were killed by the warring sides. Shabelle Media Network ------------ Somali troops raid three radio stations Sun 2 Mar 2008, 11:42 GMT http://africa.reuters.com/top/news/usnBAN242073.html Text [+] By Aweys Yusuf MOGADISHU (Reuters) - Somali forces closed down three radio stations during raids in search of suspected Islamist insurgents on Sunday, the stations' directors said. Troops moved against the independent stations a day after a gunfight in Mogadishu's central market between insurgents and government troops backed by Ethiopian forces killed nine people. Employees of Horn Afrik, Shabelle and Simba radios said troops took computers, cameras and radio equipment. "Government troops entered the radio station and said we must stop working. They said the radio station is closed from now on," Horn Afrik cameraman Abdi Daqane told Reuters. "We are deeply sorry that Somali journalists are still under government oppression," he added. Shabelle radio's news editor, Abdi Ismail Abdi-ud, said the soldiers took two computers and two sound mixing machines. They briefly detained the station's acting director, Mukhtar Mohamed Hirabe. "They did not say we are closed but we cannot operate ... I believe the government is still showing its heavy-handedness on the free media in Somalia," he said. "It is silencing us because it does not want the radios to report that soldiers are looting properties in Bakara market." Simba, another independent station, had to shut down after government troops seized computers and microphones. "A number of government soldiers penetrated the building of Simba radio, harassing the reporters and taking three computers, three digital cameras and the radio's mixer," Simba Radio deputy director Mohamed shiil Hassan told Reuters. "They accused us of siding with and reporting the activities of the insurgents," he added. Somalia has been in chaos since warlords toppled dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991. The violence has worsened since Somali and Ethiopian troops ousted Islamists from Mogadishu just over a year ago.
