USA brings back Voice of America's Farsi service.
In the wake of the escalating war between Israel and Iran, the US foreign
broadcaster Voice of America, which was restricted by US President Donald
Trump, has reactivated its Persian-language program. Dozens of employees have
been recalled, US media report, citing an internal email to the service's
employees.
"Effective immediately, you are being recalled from administrative leave," the
Washington Post, for example, quoted from the email. "You are expected to
return to work immediately." The decision indicates that Washington wants to
expand its coverage of Iran, wrote CNN. This is a "dramatic turnaround for the
US government-funded broadcasting system".
In March, Trump had issued a decree ordering massive cuts to the state-funded
foreign broadcaster, which reports in several languages. Previously, the
station's Persian-language service had produced more than four hours of
programs in Farsi every day, CNN reports. It is unclear how much the service
had broadcast recently. Current reports were posted on the website of the Farsi
service on Saturday.
According to the New York Times, the Persian-language service employs around
100 people, about half of whom have been recalled, the paper wrote, citing an
employee. Voice of America was founded in 1942 to represent the values of the
USA and democracy abroad.

Fellas, I'm slowly digitizing my large collection of cassette tapes.
Today, I digitized an interesting program from a station called Radio
Studio on 7370 (at least that was the announced frequency, along with 102.4
FM). It was mostly in Russian touting to be the best music station in St
Petersburg. I don't see it listed in the 2000 WRTH, but found 102.4 FM
listed in my next available WRTH (2005) using 10 kW. Nothing about 7370.
Can anyone remember details of this 7370 frequency? Power, location, etc.
The tape is marked 4 August 2001. On the flip side is an old RHC DXers
Unlimited program from around the same period. Thanks! Walt Salmaniw
