Signal is very weak and at this point hearing the specific language clearly is difficult. After a minute or two the station's signal drops deeper into the ether and nothing but the carrier is audible. However, at 0950 more talk is heard by a female possibly? Too much noise and not enough signal to continue listening. (Chuck Bolland, July 14, 2009) Peru, 6019.41, Radio Victoria, 0955-1005, At tune in noted the usual Preacher in his "weeping" Spanish language sermon. Fortunately Radio Victoria is down a few Hertz from 6020 because it sounds like there's probably two other "large" stations sharing this frequency. With a good notch filter though, the larger stations can be nulled out and Victoria is rather easy to hear especially when the 'weeping" preacher is broadcasting. At 1000 noted live comments from a different male who gave time and then lead into canned ID and promos followed with music. Signal was fair for Victoria. (Chuck Bolland, July 14, 2009) Peru, 4775, Radio Tarma, 1029-1040, Noted steady Spanish talk by a female. She continued during the period. Signal was threshold. (Chuck Bolland, Julay 14, 2009) Peru, 5039.19, Radio Libertad, 1038-1045, At tune in, noted music. At 1041 a male comments in Spanish until 1047 when music is continued again. Signal was fair. (Chuck Bolland, July 14, 2009) Malaysia, 7270, RTM Wai FM, (pres), 1050-1100 Noted a female in comments. Iban listed as language. She is followed by music. Between 1055 and 1103, the signal improves slightly. At that time noted two females in conversation before the hour. On the hour a different female talks in possibly Japanese language. Can't be certain since the signal is still rather poor. At 1110 a second female starts with talk in a different language.

In its Punjabi Darbar programme, it mentioned about the Blue Star Operation of 1984 and blamed the Akalis for not showing unity in reviving the issue. Radio Pakistan's anti-India propaganda and attempt to provoke people have been contested by Prof. Gurdeep Singh, a Sikh Scholar and Rajinder Singh, a village head, in Abohar. "Sikh religion is beyond politics. The Sixth Guru of Sikhs, Guru Hargobind planned the Akal Takht right in front of Shri Harmander Sahab and the staircase of Akal Takht was constructed from Shri Harmander Sahab, so to make the world know how above the Sikh religion is from politics," said Prof. Gurdeep Singh, a Sikh scholar, "There is no discrimination Hindus and Sikhs in India. Pakistan radio wants to create tensions between Hindus and Sikhs. But people here are now well aware of Pakistan's propaganda. A number of Sikhs have sacrificed their lives for the country. The Sikhs are given equal respect like other religions in the country," said Rajinder Singh, a village head. Broadcasters of Radio Pakistan must remember Indian listeners switch on to their channel just to hear the good music of Pakistan and not to their anti- India propaganda. The four-day Operation Blue Star was an Indian military operation ordered by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to remove Sikh separatists who were amassing weapons in the Golden Temple in Amritsar. It was launched in response to a deterioration of law and order in the Indian state of Punjab.

Disodado Cabello, the public works minister who also oversees Venezuela's broadcasting watchdog, said 154 FM radio stations will be taken off the air and shifted into public hands in what he called "democratizing the airwaves." He recently said 86 AM radio stations will also be hit as the government steps up efforts to turn Venezuela into a socialist society. "The use of the radio-electric spectrum is one of the few areas where the revolution has not been felt," Cabello said in a presentation to legislators about the need for reform in the sector. Since taking office a decade ago, Chavez has broken up large farms and nationalized important economic sectors including the oil industry. Chavez and his supporters describe their drive to broadcast a pro- government message as a "media war" with private news companies. Venezuela's media is highly polarized with biased coverage the norm on both government and private networks. The president has vastly expanded the number of publicly owned television and radio stations since he took office in 1999. Some are directly owned or financed by the government, while others are operated by cooperatives and community groups. In 2007 Chavez did not renew the concession for a widely watched critical private TV station RCTV. Cabello also announced plans to apply Venezuelan broadcasting regulations to cable and satellite television stations that produced more than a third of their content in the oil-exporting nation. The new rules for subscription television seemed to be aimed specifically at RCTV, which now broadcasts only on cable. RCTV was Venezuela's most popular television station, watched by millions because of its soap operas. The station was highly critical of Chavez and played an active role in a failed coup against him in 2002.

VOI, 9526-, Tuesday July 14 at 1302 opening weekly `Exotic Indonesia` hookup to RRI Banjarmasin with banter between Banj guy and this time an OM rather than YL at Jakarta studio. Listened carefully in case a date was mentioned as often the case, but heard none, tho again claimed to be `live`. Ron Howard found a VOI website claiming that this Exotic Indonesia series was running from April to December, 2008! If it was really a rerun from last year, days of week would not match days of month in 2009. Another question is that if it is really live on the 1300 UT broadcast (8 pm local as the site claims), is it repeated on all the following English broadcasts during the next 24 hours? Continues with regular features but breaks for kontact with Kalimantan, at 1321 the M&M conversing again, giving phone number and other listener input info to Banjarmasin; 1323 back to Jakarta for Today`s Commentary, by a YL about the presidential and vice presidential races.

However, BBCWS relay in English via Meyerton, SOUTH AFRICA runs 0400 right up to 0600 also on 7310 --- so I conclude that SENTECH failed to close down their transmitter on time.

The review provides information about BBC World Service's performance during a year of major news events like Gaza, Georgia and the US Elections. In his foreword, BBC Global News Director Richard Sambrook highlights BBC World Service's expansion as a multimedia media broadcaster during the year which included the launch of BBC Persian television: "People come to BBC World Service for journalism that is challenging and asks difficult questions, yet respects different points of view and actively encourages debate. "Increasingly, they want access at a time and place that suits them. Major progress was made towards achieving that goal in 2008/9." The review highlights: - BBC World Service further developed its multimedia strategy, including the launch of BBC Persian television; the growth of BBC Arabic television into a full 24-hour operation; and other online and mobile developments. - BBC World Service attracted its highest audience ever, with a global multimedia audience estimate of 188 million weekly across its 32 language services. - Independent research indicates that BBC World Service's reputation for providing unbiased and objective news and information is stronger than that of any other international radio competitor in most markets surveyed. - In a unique partnership, six new YouTube video channels were launched - in Arabic, Portuguese for Brazil, Persian, Russian, Spanish and Urdu. - The BBC Global News podcast was downloaded nearly two million times in January 2009. - BBC Global News services - which include BBC World Service, BBC World News television and bbc.com/news (the BBC's international-facing online news site) - have a record global weekly audience of over 238 million during 2008/09. - BBC World Service's Grant-in-Aid funding for 2008/09 was ?265million.
