** BRAZIL [and non]. 11925.2, Feb 17 at 0637, Portuguese discussion, at first
very poor with slow fades to S9+12 peaks, surely R. Bandeirantes on its
characteristic off-frequency. I don`t often hear this one in the nightmiddle
even when 11815 RBC is audible, and wonder if Band is really on the air.
Something on 9645+ probably its more reliable other transmitter, but too buried
in cable box DTV bubble jamming to compare audio now.
After hearing 11925.2, looked for other Brazilians on 25m and found: 11815
mostly music RBC, 11765 exclaiming ``Deus ? Amor``, an unjustified assumption.
These Brasigs were much stronger than RNZI 11725 which is often #1 on 25m. At
0641, 11925 had lite ACI from remnant DentroCuban jamming pulses against
nothing on 11930. At *0643 much stronger carrier than any of the others
appeared on 11780, no doubt RNA with much more than 7.5 kW some sources allege,
but then cut back off. Next check 0647 back on with morning musical programming
underway. BTW, what are they going to do with the 5990 transmitter no longer
needed for R. Senado? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. 7220 and 7435, Feb 17 at 1358, REE IS can be detected as nonsensical
pr?lude to CRI Nepali service from Kunming site on both; slightly stronger on
7220 but more QRM as to be expected amid the hamband (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** EAST TURKISTAN [and non]. 9705, Feb 17 at 1510 Chinese with continuous
noise, i.e. CRI via Kashgar. Surely the noise isn`t jamming unless the ChiCom
are really SNAFU, maybe maladjusted transmitter of their own? DRM? None
scheduled. Maybe maladjusted Saudi transmitter as also scheduled to collide
here in `Turkistani`. I`m sure the ChiCom wouldn`t mind blocking broadcasts
into E.T. like this (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. 9445, Feb 16 at 2145, enjoyed the music, outroed at 2159 as a vocal
recital by Pandit somebody, AIR GOS ID and English news.
15045-15050-15055, Feb 17 at 1410, DRM noise from AIR Sinhala service via
Khampur, after having defaulted (?) to AM 24 hours earlier. I knew it wouldn`t
last.
9425, Feb 17 at 1431, AIR National Channel via Bengaluru, news in English with
elexion returns comparing how Congress, BJP et al. parties did; after 1440
another program in English this Friday; fair with flutter.
15175, Feb 17 at 1503, open carrier with flutter, no doubt in preparation for
the Gujarati service from GOA starting at 1515, tho you`d never know it by
consulting HFCC which AIR has abandoned. Don`t know if the carrier stayed on
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** IRAN. 13790, Feb 17 at 1405, VIRI fair with Qur`an, Arabic ID, and into
``Also Sprach Zarathustra`` as theme to next program. Persia is of course the
home of Zoroastrianism, now another religion hardly kosher in the Islamic
Republic; what are they thinking?? Fiat lux (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** ITALY [non]. 15190, Feb 17 at 1458:45 IRRS cuts off Brother Scare for
sign-off announcement, but after a few sex of choral music, at 1459:45 sign-on
announcement from ``Milano``, never mentioning true site Tiganeshti, ROMANIA.
Right into Arabic song, W&M talk in Arabic. That`s because on Fridays only they
have an additional show, `Arab Women Today`, as part of European Gospel Radio,
which I don`t find mentioned anywhere on http://www.egradio.org/ altho they
still include defunct `DX Partyline`. That page goes on and on about their
dedication to missionary work. Note the coverage map showing everywhere from
the Mediterranean to the Tasman, but not the emanation from Romania.
BS reception has been poor lately on 15190, always with a multipath echo. There
was no transmission break between sign-off and sign-on before 1500, but
reception improved anyway as they have supposedly moved from 100 to 115 degree
azimuth which should not make much difference here. AWT is only a quarter hour,
and at 1514 IRRS sign-off again, offering a ``special numbered QSL card`` [so
how many so far?], but already running overtime and cut off the air at 1515:10*
before anything in the address but ``NEXUS-IRRS. . .`` could be spoken (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 6135, Feb 17 at 1357, quick check reconfirms that Sea
Breeze is again in English this Friday, good reception during the 1330 hour via
JSR Tokyo/Yamata JAPAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MAURITANIA [and non]. 7245, Feb 17 at 0630, IGIM is not yet on; by 0657
check, 7245 has come on with urgent speech rather than chanting this Fribbath;
see also VATICAN (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NIGERIA. 7275, Feb 17 at 0629 when Tunisia goes off, now there is uncovered
a weaker barely modulated carrier, presumably FRCN Abuja, which had been
inaudible the last few nights as I have been reporting. Unfortunately, one of
my cable DTV boxes has decided to jam 7275 tonight, which doesn`t help at all
to dig out any audio (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** OKLAHOMA. Channel 48, the remnant analog low-power in OKC has changed
identity again. Feb 17 at 1548 UT tnx to some morning tropo enhancement, I am
surprised to find it is no longer duplicating Univisi?n as on DTV ``36-1`` = RF
29.2. Instead there is an old movie or drama with Anglo actors, probably
dubbed. Transparent bug in the lower right of a large star with a circle in the
middle and some wording I can`t read thru the snow. Outro credits consist of
nothing but FIN, so don`t know what program that was, then into variety show
with local ID in small letters lower left as KOCY 48 OKLAHOMA CITY!
FCC TV Query shows the call change was made Feb 9 after less than two
sesquimonths as KUOK-LP:
Facility ID Number: 36850
Call Sign Begin Date
KOCY-LP 02/09/2012
KUOK-LP 11/22/2011
KWDW-LP 05/13/2005
K69EK 08/24/1987
Name of 1600+ variety show is `Don Cheto`, and includes the requisite little
person to contrast with DC who is anything but little. LPs get a lot more
screen time in Hispanic TV, lucky guys. Wikipedia:
``Don Cheto, known as "el hombre del vozarr?n" ("the loud-voiced man"), is a
Mexican entertainer and musician. He was born on September 21, 1962 in La
Sauceda, Michoac?n, M?xico. He is the host of "El Show de Don Cheto" (The Don
Cheto Show), an hour-long Spanish language variety show on Channel 62 in Los
?ngeles, and shown also on sister stations owned by Lieberman Broadcasting. The
show features a variety of games (including soccer and name-that-tune), a live
band, a little person, and girls dancing in revealing outfits. Don Cheto's
music albums include "Piporreando" and "El Hombre del vozarr?n."``
Searching on Don Cheto led to where this is coming from, Estrella TV, and I
also hear that mentioned in promos. Had not heard or seen it before, but
Wikipedia has it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estrella_TV
with affiliate list not including any in Oklahoma yet, and this about another
program:
``Controversy --- In February 2011, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against
Defamation (GLAAD) and the National Hispanic Media Coalition (NHMC) filed a
joint complaint with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in response to
an Estrella TV talk show, Jos? Luis Sin Censura, due to repeated instances of
verbal and physical abuse against LGBT and female guests.[15] More than 30
organisations have also responded in the demand for Liberman to take action in
regards of the program.[16] According to GLAAD President Jarrett Barrios, "This
show serves no role except to fuel a climate of intolerance and violence
against our community. The FCC has an obligation to stand up against this
offensive program, which has no place on our airwaves."[16] In response to the
controversy, AT&T and Time Warner Cable withdrawn their advertising from the
program.[14] In addition, WSVN Miami has opted to pre-empt Jos? Luis Sin
Censura, while KCTU-LD in Wichita, Kansas pulled
the channel entirely in late 2010, with General Manager Ron Nutt citing that
programming on Estrella TV in general "was so objectionable that, at one point
or another, half of its viewership had called us with a complaint. They are
going for sensationalism. If an English-language network put out this content,
they would be asking for trouble." As of September 2011, the show has been
officially canceled.[14]``
So looks like the Oklahoma Land Company has picked a real winner to add program
variety to the OKC market. KOCY-LP is still 18.1 kW. And they still have an APP
for an STA on ch 48 and a CP for LD 15 kW on ch 48. Bringing up all the ch 48
in OK from FCC TV Query I see that we may eventually lose access to KOCY as
there is a NEW APP for Enid on 48 by DTV America Corp. with 10 kW!
Does Titan have listings for Estrella TV when displaying OKC on-air channels?
Of course not! In fact ch 48 is not there at all. They also have KUOK on the
wrong virtual channel, 35.1 instead of 36.1. Typical for Titan TV; I could
point out other erroneous or outdated, misleading listings.
I was also watching KUOK with the Univisi?n program `hoy` on my DTV set, and
noticed they were promoting Don Chedo during a break at 1654. 48 has just about
faded out by 1800 UT as the humidity level drops.
As for the KOCY callsign, what could be better for Oklahoma City? Stupid radio
shuffling abandoned that heritage, originally 1340 AM, then on 1560 for a while
(Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** PHILIPPINES. 9555 and 9760 from IBB Tinang: after the Feb 15 debacle when
the ailing #2 transmitter here failed to modulate at all in Korean or English
for at least a sesquihour, after having missed Feb 16, I check them out Feb 17:
at 1421 on 9555, VOA Korean is modulated, altho as usual not up to par. This
goes off at 1459* for the QSY to 9760. That comes on at *1500:37 joining VOA
English news already in progress, followed by the usual breaks in transmission,
e.g. 1500:54*, on and off and on *1501:17, to stay? No, another 10-second break
at 1503:24*. Spe-cial Eng-lish starts at 1505, but by 1509 the modulation is
gone, just open carrier and still so at 1514 when I quit (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOUTH CAROLINA [non]. 5085, Feb 17 at 0433, WTWW-2 continues with Brother
Scare, and presumably all-night. Still there at 1355, and day frequency 9990
pops on at *1400 sharp, along with spur field. More at USA [and non].
Altho missing from the shortwave schedule page linked as an ftp, The Overcomer
Ministry homepage includes new WTWW-2, as it displays this:

[sic] I will not even attempt to convert the times which are not UT, but maybe
they are in EST, and probably wrong anyway.
And note the Feb 20-21 [Mon-Tue] tests from unknown site (s). 7590 is of course
the Spaceline DRM Mix test from Bulgaria via Armenia, currently Saturdays only
at 18-21. Please, pretty please, can we hear BS in DRM??? BTW, that Saturday
broadcast still hasn`t made it into HFCC, just wooden registrations for Almaty
in non-digital. 15750 not in HFCC either.
The 9835 500 kW of unspecified duration from 19 UT is in HFCC as Wertachtal
until 20, 165 degrees (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN [non]. 6875, Feb 17 at 0550, RTI via WYFR is in proper language
English this hour, and at 0648 in Spanish, also the scheduled language instead
of English which played yesterday after 0600 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 15825, Feb 16 at 2133, open carrier here, must be WWCR-1 which is
supposed to switch at 2100 to 7465, but that is absent. Other transmitters are
nominal on 13845, 9980 and 9350. 15825 goes off at 2134, back on, and off for
good at 2136*, so I check 7465 again, which comes on in a few sex but also with
OC only. Axually, there are traces of modulation around the edges on both, i.e.
a bit more audible but still unreadable if you side-tune. At 2142 I notice that
7465 is off again. 2150 back with OC still past 2200. Did not check again until
2223 when a Spanish gospelhuxter was in progress. The WWCR website is not
coming up at 1750 Feb 17 when I want to check which programs were replaced by
dead air. I`ll add that info later. Ah, here it comes at 1815: Thursdays at
2100, `Into the Blue` which is a dispensable filler, as is 2200-2215 New
Testament in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7811.0-USB [not 7811.5 as I once misreported], Feb 17 at 0644-0646
once again Jim Hightower commentary on AFN, so I am beginning to think it`s
reliable for good. Also on // 5446.5-USB, both from Florida (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1604 monitoring: confirmed on WTWW 9479, Thursday Feb
16 at 2200, and on WBCQ 7490 at 2230; axually started early at 2229:20. Also on
WWRB 3195, UT Friday Feb 17 at 0430. I was listening first on webcast, and
noted a very respectful 135-second pause after the previous preacher said
``amen and amen``, but that`s because his show ended early instead of late.
Later confirmed on 3195.
BTW, WWRB is still missing from its other frequency 5050, still occupied by big
ute blob on the hi side; and I have not found any replacement by WWRB. It`s
currently registered with FCC for 2390 at the same available hours as 5050,
2200-1300, but 45 degrees on 5050, and 340 on 2390 (same as 3185 BS); and also
5745 at 22-04, 90 degrees, but is not being heard on either of those. BTW2,
3195, our favorite WWRB frequency is not on the FCC list at all.
Further WOR airings: on WTWW 5755, UT Sunday 0500. On WRMI: Sat 0900, 1600,
1830, Sun 0900, 1630, 1830, Mon 1230. Also on WRN via SiriusXM 120, Sat & Sun
1830, Sun 0930 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. 9996, Feb 17 at 1359 I am hearing the binary pulses from
RWM Taldom, RUSSIA, and on 10000 the CW ID from BPM Lintong, CHINA, all mixed
with WWVH`s semi-hourly voice ID from HAWAII, when *bam at *1400 sharp, WTWW-2
cuts on 9990 and blows them all away with Brother Scare music bleeding over.
At 1427, I also notice that 9965, R. Australia Chinese via PALAU, but mixing in
some English, has a buzzy blob upon it from WTWW, i.e. spur minus 26 kHz
approx. from 9990. There are never any such problems from the other WTWW
transmitters on 5755, 9479 and 12105 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VATICAN [non]. 7250, Feb 17 at 0630, VR SMG inaudible, may be off again, as
propagation has recovered from last night`s near-blackout. Were audible: 7335
Tunisia, and before 0629 also 7275; 7220 France just going off at 0630; 7310
Romania in English but not the big signal it used to enjoy. 7245 Mauritania
q.v. not yet on (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Subject: [HCDX] BBC World Service to celebrate 80th birthday
Message-ID:
<1329505267.54708.yahoomail...@web95416.mail.in2.yahoo.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
?BBC has announced that its global audience will get behind the scenes access
as part of a special day of live programming on 29 February, to mark the BBC
World Service's 80th birthday.
Highlights from the day will include a special global audience with Sir David
Attenborough and The Strand - the WS global arts programme - will be edited by
guest artist and music producer William Orbit.
Audiences will be able to join a special debate about what they want from the
World Service, both on air, online and across social media forums.
The day will give audiences around the world a unique insight into production
of their favourite programmes and multilingual videos will be produced of all
the broadcasts throughout the day online at bbc.co.uk/worldservice.
??
For the first time audiences will be invited to watch and participate in over
12 hours of programmes in English and across more than 12 different languages.
The day will be hosted by BBC Persian's Pooneh Ghoddoosi and BBC World Service
presenter Ros Atkins.
BBC World Service's daily morning editorial meeting, which normally takes place
behind the doors of Bush House, will be opened up and broadcast live for the
first time. In this meeting - a daily part of life in the building - the
newsroom's editors discuss and agree the big stories and developments and
decide on which stories will shape the day's news agenda.
The open courtyard of Bush House will host many of the programmes that day.
Flagship programmes such as Newshour and World Have Your Say will invite
audiences to join a conversation about international broadcasting and the
future priorities of the BBC World Service.
Listeners around the world - and the audience at Bush House - will have the
chance to shape the news agenda and debate by making suggestions from the
floor, or through Twitter, Facebook and Skype.
BBC Global News director Peter Horrocks said, "The 80th birthday and departure
from Bush House means these are historic and changing times for the BBC World
Service. We want our audiences to be at the heart of both the commemoration of
the past and conversation about the future."
BBC World Service commissioning editor Steve Titherington said, "We are turning
Bush House inside out showing who we are and what we do to our audiences and
asking what the world wants next from the BBC World Service."
On 29 February, BBC World Service is also launching a new series of programmes
on the human body. Linked to the Olympics, The Human Race will invite the
public to take part in a 'healthcheck special' featuring leading international
scientists and sportspeople.
Not only celebrating 80 years of broadcasting, this special day of programming
marks the start of the BBC World Service's move from Bush House, its iconic
London home for over 70 years, to a new state of the
art broadcasting centre in Oxford Circus.
The move will see all of the BBC's news services - UK and international - based
together for the first time. The aim is to create 'the world's newsroom' -
enhancing the BBC's global newsgathering and creating a forum for the best
journalism in the world. (Indiantelevision.com 17/2)

Subject: [HCDX] Jawhar Sircar to take charge as Prasar Bharati CEO
Message-ID:
<1329505446.11041.yahoomail...@web95409.mail.in2.yahoo.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Jawhar Sircar, until now secretary in the culture ministry, is to be the new
chief executive officer of Prasar Bharati.
Sircar?s name was cleared after a three-member selection panel headed by
Vice-President Hamid Ansari with Press Council of India chairman Justice
Markanday Katju and Information and Broadcasting secretary Uday Kumar Varma as
members recommended his name for the position. The appointment of the CEO is
done by the President on the recommendation of the selection panel.
Indiantelevision.com had earlier reported that Sircar was tipped to be the CEO.
Sircar is due to retire from his present job next month, and will take over
from acting CEO Rajiv Takru, the Additional Secretary in I&B ministry and its
representative on the Prasar Bharati board.
Takru had been asked to hold additional charge of CEO in January last year
after the suspension of then CEO B S Lalli, following a series of corruption
charges established by the Central Vigilance Commission.
However, the search for a successor could begin only after Lalli retired in
December. It is learnt that a panel of 11 members was sent to the three-member
committee.
Sircar belongs to the 1975 batch of Indian Administrative Service from West
Bengal. After the retirement of I&B secretary Raghu Menon in September last
year, Sircar had been asked to hold additional charge of this ministry in
addition to the culture ministry, until the appointment of Uday Kumar Varma.
Sircar holds two post-graduate degrees in Ancient Indian History and Culture
and in Sociology with Social Anthropology. He has served as additional (later
special secretary) secretary and development commissioner for micro, small and
medium enterprises in the centre, prior to which he held the posts of higher
education secretary and principal secretary of commerce and industries in West
Bengal.
Sircar has been actively associated with several cultural and academic bodies
like the Asiatic Society, the Victoria Memorial, the Centre for Archaeological
Studies, the Kolkata Museum of Modern Art and the Indian Anthropological
Society. He took the lead in establishing the annual Kolkata Film Festival as
an international event. He has published several articles and research papers
on history, culture and society. In the last decade, he has focussed his
research on specific aspects of popular culture, folk religion and on the
development of socio-religious identities.
?NAction was taken against Lalli after the Shunglu committee report indicted
him for irregularities in the broadcast contract of the Commonwealth Games. A
Central Bureau of Investigation probe is underway in this connection.
Meanwhile, a Supreme Court has been asked to probe the four charges of
corruption established by the CVC.?
The five allegations established by Central Vigilance Commission relate to
contracts for management of advertisement revenue arising from the telecast of
cricket matches on Doordarshan during 2007; the non-telecast by Doordarshan of
T-20 cricket World Cup matches held in South Africa in September 2007;
engagement of legal entities to represent Prasar Bharati; purchase of radio
broadcasting rights for 13 cricket series held during 2007-09; and hiring of
transport and accommodation for the conduct of the Commonwealth Youth Games in
Pune in 2008. (Indiantelevision.com 17/2)

** BRAZIL. 4878v, Rdif Roraima, 0345-0404:25*, their transmitter has
been deteriorating over the past several weeks with a wobbly, unstable

of noise. Not able to make out any program content except for National
Anthem at sign off. Feb 17. (Brian Alexander, PA)
?
** GUYANA. 3289.99, GBC, 0600-0610, English BBC World Service

GUYANA - 3289.99, The Voice of Guyana / Guyana Broadcasting Corp., Georgetown.?
Very nice signal 2/17 0750 past 0835.? Not rare DX by any means, but highly
enjoyable tuning, esp when they are barreling in, such as this date.? Noted
with BBC relay at tune-in, which lasted until 0800, when local ancr OM said,
"It is now 4 hours in Guyana . . . this is the Voice of Guyana, broadcasting on
560 kiloHertz in the medium wave band . . . and 102.5 megaHertz in FM stereo in
Guyana . . ."? Then a very nice choral national anthem to formally start their
local broadcast day, sounding almost hymnlike.? At 0404, live deejay again,
"Good morning, everyone! This is the V-O-G, the Voice of Guyana.? The
Broadcasting Corporation of Guyana has its broadcasting house located at . . .
and on 760 kiloHertz in the medium wave band . . . It is now 4 hours 4
minutes."? Tuned away but on return at 0835, signal had further improved and
delightful Hindi musical program in
progress.? (Perry, Illinois)
BRAZIL - 4877.02, presumed Roraima (no ID) booming in at 0850 on 2/17.? 0859 OM
in echo with "Bom dia!" but no ID noted.? at 0900 into a two-man show in PP,
probably the news.? Seems they may have, at long last, finished fixing their
xmtr problems? Modulation quite okay this morning.? (Perry, Illinois)
BOLIVIA - 4699.32,? Radio San Miguel, Riberalta, noted 2/15 with fair signal
and OM with local t/ck and the usual "bottom of the barrel" microphone sound to
his SS anmts. Into cumbias at 0944. (Perry, Illinois)
