** CANADA. CFRX, which had been missing or on very low power for a few days,
again audible on 6070, July 31 at 1233, with usual drivetime chat, but warbling
het from North Korea which always bothers until after 1250 or so (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

good on 11300; 1352 poor on 13970; 1356 good on 15150. July 30: took a day off
from monitoring!
July 31: 0445 on 17700 --- unusual time on unusual frequency: WRTH, Aoki and
EiBi show not a single station on 17700 at any time. So we can only assume
Sound of Hope was on there drawing the jammer.

** INDONESIA. VOI missing again from 9525 or vicinity, July 31 at 1340 during
the English hour. No sign of it around 11785 either, just the China/US radio
war (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. Altho the University Network transmitter of WWCR was off the air July
27 and 28, it was back July 29 on 13845 at 1352 check; also at 1301 July 31

Subject: [HCDX] BBC Over To You in blog
Message-ID: <780527.58704...@web95405.mail.in2.yahoo.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Hallo and let me say first of all what a delight it is for Over To You to have
a new avenue of communication with World Service listeners. I've been
presenting the programme since its inception and this, I'm confident, will be a
quantum leap in our ability to reflect your thoughts and feelings about
programmes and news on the English language network.
With the possible exception of World Have Your Say, the agenda of Over To You
is more driven by listener input than any other programme. And with this blog
we can increase the level of interactivity. Whatever your reactions to a new
documentary, a news report or a radio play, we want your feedback and will then
endeavour to create a conversation between you and the programme maker
concerned.
One editor recently asked me about our listeners' response to a programme maker
admitting they had made a mistake. Well in virtually every case it has been one
of great appreciation - you like it when someone is humble enough to concede
that the BBC is made up of human beings who, gasp, can make a wrong judgement
call. The recently-appointed director of the World Service has talked about
breaking down the walls of the fortress that many news organisations and
journalists have created between themselves and their audiences. I believe this
Over To You blog page can be very much part of that process - along of course
with the individual programme wesbites and blogs.
Two things always intrigue me about World Service listeners when I talk to you
on the programme or meet you on my travels. Firstly - just how well-read,
intelligent and curious about the world they are and how internationalist they
are in their approach to everyday issues. (I'm not fawning to you, I promise!)
Secondly, how media savvy and interested they are about the process of
broadcast journalism and and programme-making. And again we try to give you an
insight into that process by going behind the scenes at flagship World Service
programmes. Hopefully this blog will enhance our ability to do that.
And we also like to explore significant changes in the media world at large -
for instance around issues of citizen journalism, the suppression of news
organisations in certain regimes around the world, the obsession with celebrity
stories and so on. To that end this coming week you may want to find out more
about the lifting of the ban on the BBC in Zimbabwe by the power-sharing
adminstration. What does it really mean in terms of independent reporting of
the situation in jails, hospitals and the legal system? Will old habits be hard
to change on the part of the authorities? Does the Zimbabwean government have
ulterior motives for this change of policy?
So from now on this blog - with contributions also from my colleague Cathy
Packe - will be reminding you about what the big issues of the week are - both
in terms of your reaction to output, and changes inside the World Service at
Bush House. In terms of the latter this is clearly something we will want to
ask Peter Horrocks, the Director of the World Service when he comes to the Over
To You hotseat in the near future.
On this week's programme, one Nigerian listener worries about the effect of the
repeated use of terms like "Islamist militant" in news reporting when applied
to the perpetrators of violence in the north of his country. The acting head of
the newsroom gives her reply. We also look at the new playwriting competition
and go behind the scenes to examine the power balance between reporters and
editors. Fascinating stuff - give it a listen!
OK - that's the introductions over and done with - now lets get on with
discussing what makes the World Service a genuinely unique broadcaster, for
better or for worse, we're waiting for your comments...
Rajan Datar is Presenter, Over To You.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/overtoyou/
Welcome to the BBC World Service blog, Over To You, the place for you to engage
us in a dialogue about our programmes and websites.
This blog is jointly run by the Over To You programme, and the BBC World
Service website team. We encourage you to send us comments, which we'll
moderate, publish - and do our best to respond to.
We'll be posting here about the issues and themes you're discussing on the Over
to You programme, multimedia projects and seasons, and new developments on the
site.
Please use this blog to tell us about what you'd like to see discussed both
here and on the programme. We'll do our best to go behind the scenes and find
the right the person to answer your questions. And we may get back to you to
arrange an on air interview.

Venezuela orders closure of 34 radio stations
Submitted by Mohit Joshi on Sat, 08/01/2009 - 02:43.
Caracas - Venezuela's leftist government ordered 34 radio stations off the
air, accusing them of broadcasting without a proper licence.
The stations in question have to cease transmissions, Public Works Minister
Diosdado Cabello, who also heads the country's telecommunications regulatory
agency, said Friday.
The closure orders are an indication of a growing rift between the government
of President Hugo Chavez and Venezuela's private media.
In total, 240 radio stations are under investigation. Broadcast rights were
withdrawn because the operators had either died, failed to update their
licences or registrations had expired, Cabello said.
The licences could be handed over to so-called community radio stations, which
are often operating on a non-profit basis.
The decision to pull the plug on the 34 stations came one day after Luisa
Ortega Diaz, Venezuela's top prosecutor, suggested toughening the country's
media law to "regulate the freedom of expression."
Under the new law, journalists could be imprisoned for up to four years for
publishing "harmful" information endangering the "peace, security and
independence" of the nation.
Information Minister Blanca Eekhout stressed it was essential to regulate the
"enormous power" of the media, and accused international media of pursuing a
campaign against Chavez and Venezuela. (dpa)
