Subject: [HCDX] BBC?s international news services attracts record
global audience of 238 million
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
The BBC?s Global News division attracts a record weekly global audience of 238
million people to its international news services including BBC World Service
and the BBC World News television channel, according to independent surveys.
Last year?s audience totalled 233 million.
BBC World Service attracted a record weekly audience of 188 million. This
figure was boosted by its new BBC Arabic television channel but masked an
overall decline in radio listening which was down five million to 177 million
in 2008/9. However, despite this loss, BBC World Service remains the world?s
most popular international radio broadcaster.
The largest overseas audiences for BBC news, across all platforms, are in
Nigeria (26.0m), USA (24.1m) and India (22.2m). The biggest increases in the
BBC?s global audience estimate came from Arab-speaking countries like Saudi
Arabia (+1.9m), Egypt (+1.3m), and Syria (+1.0m), and newly surveyed markets
like Niger (+2.4 million), Liberia (+1.1m) and Guinea (+1.4m).
However radio audiences in Iran dropped by 1.6 million due to a decline in
shortwave listening there and the cutting of medium wave transmissions. BBC
Persian launched a television channel last January to reflect changing media
demands by Farsi-speaking audiences in Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan.
Sri Lankan radio audiences dropped by 1.5 million after the BBC withdrew FM
broadcasts there following Government interference with the BBC?s FM broadcasts
in the Sinhala and Tamil languages. There were also losses in Nigeria (-1.5
million) due to increased local competition.
UK listening to BBC World Service hit record numbers with 1.5million weekly
domestic listeners in the first quarter of this year, an increase of 9%. Radio
audiences in the USA also grew to a record six million.
Surveys of key Arabic-speaking markets indicated an audience of eight million
weekly viewers for the new BBC Arabic television channel across those specific
markets. A more comprehensive figure for the channel will be made available
when other countries in the region are surveyed.
BBC World News - the BBC?s commercially-funded international English language
news and information channel - can now be received in 292 million homes;
attracting 74 million viewers a week.
Major development and enhancement of the BBC?s international facing news sites
and mobile phone offer was rewarded with a record 16 million unique online
users - a 27 per cent increase on last year.
BBC Global News Director Richard Sambrook said: ?In a year when international
radio listening to the BBC actually went down marginally; record overall global
audiences demonstrate the success of our multimedia strategy and investments.
People come to the BBC?s international news services for journalism that is
challenging and asks difficult questions, yet respects different points of view
and actively encourages debate. Increasingly, audiences want access at a time
and place that suits them.?
BBC Global News brings together BBC World Service - funded by grant-in-aid by
the UK Government; the commercially funded BBC World News television channel
and the BBC?s international facing online news services in English; BBC
Monitoring - which is funded by stakeholders led by the Cabinet Office and a
range of public and private clients; and BBC World Service Trust - the BBC?s
international development charity which uses donor funding. No licence fee
funds are used in any of these operations.
BBC World Service is an international multimedia broadcaster delivering 32
language and regional services, including: Albanian, Arabic, Azeri, Bengali,
Burmese, Cantonese, English, English for Africa, English for the Caribbean,
French for Africa , Hausa, Hindi, Indonesian, Kinyarwanda/Kirundi, Kyrgyz,
Macedonian, Mandarin, Nepali, Pashto, Persian, Portuguese for Africa,
Portuguese for Brazil, Russian, Serbian, Sinhala, Somali, Spanish for Latin
America, Swahili, Tamil, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Uzbek, and Vietnamese. It
uses multiple platforms to reach 188 million users globally, including
shortwave, AM, FM, digital satellite and cable channels. It has around 2,000
partner radio stations which take BBC content, and numerous partnerships
supplying content to mobile phones and other wireless handheld devices. Its
news sites include audio and video content and offer opportunities to join the
global debate. For more information, visit bbcworldservice.com. To

BBC World News, the BBC's commercially funded international 24-hour news and
information channel, is owned and operated by BBC World News Ltd, a member of
the BBC?s commercial group of companies. BBC World News attracts 74 million
viewers a week, is available in more than 200 countries and territories
worldwide, and reaches 292 million households and more than 1.7 million hotel
rooms. The channel's content is also available on 80 cruise ships, 42 airlines,

bbc.com/news http://www.bbc.com/news. For further information on how to receive
BBC World News, download schedules or find out more about the channel, visit
bbcworldnews.com http://www.bbcworld.com/
The new BBC World Service global audience estimate is derived from a
comprehensive programme of independent audience research over a four year
cycle. This year?s figure incorporates new data from 28 countries ? some 53 per
cent of this year?s audience.
The BBC World News audience figure is compiled from multiple surveys
(syndicated, omnibus and specifically commissioned) from over 100 countries.
The surveys are carried out by independent market research groups and comply
with international standards of audience research.

Subject: [HCDX] BBC launches ?radio visualisation? trial
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Audiences will be able to watch some of their favourite radio shows being
broadcast, as the BBC launches its latest ?radio visualisation? trial. The
trial ? which runs until 31 July ? begins by offering an enhanced, online
version of Simon Mayo?s BBC Radio 5 Live show, before being rolled out rolled
out to other shows including The Chris Moyles Show and Switch on BBC Radio 1,
Material World on BBC Radio 4 and The Hub on BBC 6 Music.
Online audiences will be able to view ?glanceable? content ? webcam streams,
images, now playing and artist information, news and sports feeds ? and
interact with the programme through a pop-up console online and, later in the
trial, by downloading an application to their mobile phone.
For example, listeners to Simon Mayo?s show will be able to see what happens in
the studios, watch guests being interviewed and read other listeners? text and
email messages on screen.
And, in response to audience feedback from the first phase of the trial
(January 2009), this phase also includes on-demand content, for those that miss
the live broadcast, and a mobile version of the console. The first of these
will be a 45-minute compilation of the best bits of Simon Mayo?s programmes
from the week, including star guests, reviews and banter, available every
Friday.
The trial will also allow BBC Audio & Music Interactive to assess the public?s
appetite for enhanced, visual radio offerings and share their findings with the
rest of the radio industry.
Mark Friend, Controller of Multiplatform and Interactive, BBC Audio & Music
said: ?The visualisation console is about enriching the digital listening
experience. More people are consuming radio on different platforms and on
devices that have screens.
?Just as DAB listeners might glance at their screen to see what track is
playing or what DJ is coming up next, the visualisation console experiments
with putting all of our glanceable content in a single place in order to create
a richer user experience.
?I look forward to what we can learn from this trial and being able to share
findings with the wider radio industry.?
The console will be available to download on a selected number of mobile
devices which have been chosen based on analysis of mobile traffic to Audio &
Music sites. This includes the majority of high-end smartphones and most
popular mobile handsets.
The mobile application will not include live video. Tests suggest that it is
not currently feasible to offer a stable, good-quality feed of live video and
live audio over the limited capacity of mobile data networks.
In order to keep data costs to a minimum, we highly recommend running the
mobile visualisation console over a WiFi connection or flat-rate data bundle.

** ANGUILLA. 11775, Caribbean Beacon local programming from 1610 kHz still
mixing with The University Network, June 3 at 1203: PMS on the latter, an OM
preacher on the former prompting responsive readings. At 1349 a hyper preacher
was QRMing PMS. At least she is not a screamer, I`ll say that for her. At 1402,
local YL announcer was sending (birthday?) greetings to people in The Valley,
from The Caribbean Beacon, then music from 1403 to last until 10:30 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** AUSTRALIA. RA has changed its programming: temporary anomaly or permanent?
9580 and 9590, the two best frequencies in accidental NAm target beyond the
Pacific, are normally //, but June 3 at 1148 they were separate. 9580 had live
sports coverage of some kind, but since my ears glaze over immediately, did not
determine what, possibly something involving machines; while 9590 had a talk
about how highly NZ ranks on the Peace Index.
9580 was // weaker 9560, while 9590 was // weaker 9475. At 1213 the two pairs
were still separate, 9580/9560 with dead air for a while until announcer
mentioned a ``problem in master control``, 1215 promo RA FM frequencies in
various Asian cities, as ``Connect Asia``; promo podcast for ``Nightlife``
which is apparently the program in progress, live timechex for 10:16 in the
east, 8:16 in WA, and ``now welcoming listeners on Radio Australia``, so this
domestic program is aware that RA is carrying it and apparently it is out of
the ordinary. At 1237 on 9580, more promos for Nightlife and RA.
Meanwhile, 9590 and 9475 were in what we used to hear on all the RA English
frequencies during the 1200 hour, ``Late Night Live`` (LNL for short), which of
course is also originally a domestic program, from a different ABC net,
National Radio, while Nightlife is on so-called Local Radio, and the topic I
was hearing matches this:
``Wednesday June 3 Centrelink General Manager Hank Jongen will bring us up to
date on the recent changes to our welfare system.``
More surprises: rechecked at 1300, 9590 went into Chinese from RA, still //
9475, whilst 9580/9560 stayed in English. Another check at 1353: 9590 still in
Chinese; 9580 with YL interviewing a guy in a helmet, which turned out to be
``Rural Reporter`` at a rodeo.
1357 QSY announcement by Roger Broadbent on 9580 said these were about to
close: 6020, 9580, 9560, 5995; and these were about to open in two minutes:
7240, 6080, 5995. Note that 5995 was both closing and opening! And no mention
of 9590, but it was never mentioned anyway despite the fact it used to continue
beyond 1400. Monitoring 9590 across hourtop 1400: music kept playing, and then
more announcements in Chinese.
Are these changes accounted for on the RA website? Of course not! The undated
frequency guide (for English only) at
http://www.radioaustralia.net.au/pdf/frequency_guide.pdf
claims 9590 is still in English until 1600.
WRTH A09 update shows RA Chinese only at 1300-1430 on Shepparton 9475, 11660;
Tanshui, Taiwan 11760; Darwin 11825 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA. Yet another anomaly from R. Canada Internal: the 1405-1504 UT hour
on 9515 to NE USA is supposed to be in Russian, per their own schedules, but
June 3 at 1435 it was really in Portuguese (Brazilian) with French lessons! A
narrative about Mic-Mac and other Indians, with occasional translations in a
child`s voice of common words like oiseau and enfant. 1500 recheck, still in
Portuguese, but now the kid interjexions in English. What is going on and what
is the point of all this? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake observations June 3: at 1417 poor-fair on 8400 and 9000.
But at 1321 very good on 14420, absent from 13970. In honor of those massacred
in Beijing 20 years ago, I kept listening to 14420 until 1339, and considered
it a funeral dirge. I suggest that whenever we hear Firedrake, we remember that
day, and that today China remains the World`s Largest Dictatorship, contrary to
those optimistic, idealistic, young demonstrators who imagined Democracy was a
real possibility.
15760 had heavy CNR1 echo jamming, June 3 at 1425. Absolutely nothing in WRTH,
HFCC, Aoki or EiBi as a possible target, so perhaps a new frequency for Sound
of Hope (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** FRANCE [non]. 13640, RFI via GUIANA FRENCH, June 3 at 1206 with strike fill
music, ``Cry Me a River`` in English instead of scheduled Spanish, but a few
sex later the transmitter dumped off the air. Did not get around to rechecking
before scheduled 1230 closing. Yes, the strike keeps being extended day by day
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDONESIA. 4750 at 1132 June 3 with music, talk in Indonesian, so RRI
Makassar is active if you listen soon enough at earliest sunrise, now 1114 UT
here. CODAR QRM and also another carrier slightly off-frequency, Qinghai,
Hailar or Dhaka? (Glenn Hauser, Enid OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** JAPAN [and non]. R. Japan, 6010, June 3 at 1126 with IS, 1130 opening ID in
Russian mentioned `severniy` or the like, so is this considered a `northern`
service? It is indeed aimed 30 degrees from Yamata for DVR, and onward to NAm
with a good signal. Aoki says it`s at 1100-1200, so why the IS in the middle?
Because it`s really only 1130-1200 per WRTH A-09. Another semihour XEOI is
blasted away by co-channel blockage.
NHKWNRJ, 9625, June 3 at 1212 with news in English, atop both WYFR in
Portuguese and CBC Northern a poor third; NHK // better 9695, azimuths from
Yamata respectively 165 and 240 degrees, so directly off the back from the
latter is 60 degrees usward. By 1352, CBCNQ was on top of a SAH, phone
interview (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH. 11560, June 3 at 1345, very distorted signal but seemed to be
based on program modulation of some kind, could not tell whether speech or
music. Transmitter out of order? No, it`s juche jamming against NK Reform
Radio, scheduled 1330-1400 via Tajikistan; and it went off at 1400 (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. Tuned in RN`s reactivated Spanish to SSAm on 9495, just
in time at 2356 June 2 before sign-off to confirm GUIANA FRENCH was indeed
relaying RN in Spanish, from 2300, rather than VOR in Portuguese by mistake, as
was reported the day before. Poor reception here in CNAm (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** POLAND [non]. See USA: WRMI
** SAUDI ARABIA. 17895 fading in at 1425 June 3 with Qur`an. This is BSKSA
Riyadh at 295 degrees (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SOLOMON ISLANDS. 9541.5, SIBC on the air June 3 at 1220 producing het with
China 9540; only traces of audio which unseemed // or at least unsynchronized
with BBC Singapore 9740 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN. 11715, RTI concluding English hour at 1159 June 3, then 5+1
timesignal and into Chinese with ``Chungyang`` ID. Axually Amoy per Aoki, and
beam switches from 180 to 145 degrees via Tainan (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WRMI, 9955, just barely audible and could not even be sure of the
language, June 3 at 1153, but there was NO jamming, unlike after 1200 when
Radio Cuba Libre comes on. 24 hours earlier, Tuesday around 1150, I had tuned
across 9955 with a good jamming-free signal during a DX program in English
which I thought was DX Partyline, but the WRMI schedule at
http://www.wrmi.net/program.php?id=94 not updated since March 14, says it`s
supposed to be Wavescan. BTW, don`t you believe the DXPL page at WRMI
http://www.wrmi.net/program.php?id=13 which still shows winter non-DST timings
and even 7385, which was abandoned years ago! Many other individual program
pages on the WRMI website are far outdated.
WRMI back on the air on a weekday afternoon, first time heard in many weeks,
June 3 at 2002 with Polish Radio External Service via WRN, on the 20th
anniversary of the fall of Communism in 1989. Fair signal and no jamming. So is
WRMI back with full 40-hour-per week WRN relay at 1600-2400 M-F? (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. As I was checking out the N Korean jamming on 11560, could not help
but notice that WEWN was missing both from 11550 and 11530, June 3 at 1346. On
weather maps it looks like there were storms around Birmingham, so that could
explain it, deliberate avoidance of Thor`s wrath. I know WEWN was on 11530 a
couple hours earlier along with its raspy spur on 11520. Next check at 2000,
all three transmitters were on, 11550, 15610 and 17510 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WWRB spurs from 9385 detectable as carriers, 9453 and 9317, hets
against 9455 and 9320 stations, June 3 at 1410. Altho WWCR was strong on 15825,
no 18770 second harmonic of WWRB was making it this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. VOA, World News Now, June 3 at 1416:30 via Greenville 17585
with sesquiminute Earth & Sky daily feature, 1418-1423 weekly Wednesday feature
Wordmaster, this one interviewing Pat O`Connor about her book ``Origins of the
Specious``, e.g., using `they` to avoid gender in singular pronouns, the only
way to do it in English, and goes way back many centuries. 1423 sports and I
tune out. 1428 Today in History, but as expected, chopped off at 1429:30 for
sign-off of the Greenville site. So strong this time, I could not hear the
other site it is now handing off to, Botswana, and the GB carrier stayed on a
few minutes after modulation finished at 1430:30; at 1439 was off, and still no
BOTS audible (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 7290, June 3 at 1319, KX5JT calling ``CQ AM Phone``, but no immediate
replies. This is a favorite hAM frequency. He`s John D. Tate in Maurice,
Louisiana per ARRL callsign lookup (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** VENEZUELA [non]. RNV, 6060 via CUBA, June 3 at 1141 in English about the
Al?, Presidente show and how it is interactive with viewers, not just a monolog
(like Fidel?). Well, the YL presenter was speaking broken English but with
extensive clips in Spanish (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Peru, 4857.39, Radio La Hora, 2330-2355, Just tuning around the
