Short Wave Changes BBC World Service has changed its shortwave transmissions in some parts of the world, in line with listener trends in radio. Increasing numbers of people around the world are choosing to listen to radio on a range of other platforms including FM, satellite and online, with fewer listening on shortwave.
Please note broadcasts in English to Eastern and Central Europe on shortwave have stopped. English shortwave broadcasts to Southern Europe have been reduced to 12 hours a day and Arabic language shortwave broadcasts to the Middle East have been reduced to 14 hours. In both cases the shortwave listening times of early morning and evening have been retained. This will be a loss to some listeners but there are a number of alternative ways of hearing BBC programmes. For more information on how these changes affect Europe and the Middle East, and information on alternative ways of listening, follow the relevant links below: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/schedules/frequencies/index.shtml +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Jaisakthivel Chennai, India. __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
