Why is it 1 countries responsibility to always come to the aid of another
county, costing that country many hundreds of thousands of dollars a year
to rovide that aid?
Tuvalu, Tonga, Kiribati all have 10kw AM signals. Niue and Nauru are FM
only now .. But their staff does a fine job in disasters.
Paul, you clearly have not experienced a typhoon or earthquake. The
Pacific isn't called the ring of fire for nothing. When all hell breaks

still work just fine, thank you. Walt

ABC NT is 50kw nearly 24/7 on one frequency or another. radio Australia is
nearly 24/7 with 100kw.
That amounts to a gigantic power bill for one thing and all the maintence

To spend all that for such a small audience isn't realistic anymore. Are

Please don't exaggerate, Paul. RNZI accomplishes all Pacific reception
with both DRM and AM with 35 or 50 kW, and not 24/7. RNZI's annual budget
is somewhere in the vicinity of $2 million NZ. Peanuts, for a national
broadcaster when compared to TV budgets. Big cost savings are simply an
easy ju
If ABC NT and Radio Australia SW had a sizeable audience, they wouldn't be
disappearing.
It doesn't have to be expensive? Do you have any clue what a 50,000 or
100,000 watt SW transmitter costs to run 24/7/365?

Paul, I don't think you understand the influence of Australia in the

In Australia's case, like New Zealand's, their service has an altruistic
nature too. I don't think expats are the target, but the pacific island
nations.
If they want to keep their 'influence' in the area, they have to pay for
it. Soft power does not come cheap.

Nick, just a correction on the CRI Korean station:
The broadcast hours are 1900- Beijing time (1100-1600 UTC). Almost all

Therefore, CRI was still on the air at the time you assumed it was off.
