Peru, 5039.20, Radio Libertad, 1034-1100, Noted a male in Spanish comment
for a minute then Huaynos type music. After just one selection, the male
comments
more. This is followed with a canned promo. Signal was very threshold and
difficult to hear over the noise. (Chuck Bolland, November 12, 2009)
China, 5050, Voice of Beibu Bay Radio, (Tentative), 1040-1100, Another very
threshold signal which is barely audible, noted a female and male in
comments.
At this point it is impossible to hear the signal well enough to id the
language.
On the hour noted time tones - missed the count. This was followed by a
female
in Chinese language. The signal had faded in just a little, but was still
threshold.

Uruguay. 6045 R Sarand?, Montevideo. 1035 with moderate
strength simulcasting MW 690, with talk of Presidential candidate Dr.

In the face of ongoing pressure and harassment from authorities, RFE/RL's
Azerbaijani Service has won an AIB Award for its coverage of Azerbaijan's
controversial March referendum.
Friday, November 06, 2009
RFE/RL
(PRAGUE, Czech Republic -- November 5, 2009) In the face of ongoing
pressure and harassment from authorities, RFE/RL's Azerbaijani Service
(Radio Azadliq) has won one of journalism's most prestigious awards for its
coverage of Azerbaijan's controversial March referendum.
At a gala dinner in London last night, Radio Azadliq accepted a 2009
Association for International Broadcasting (AIB) Media Excellence Award, an
honor granted each year for "the best in broadcasting worldwide." Azadliq
took first place in the category of 'Best Radio Coverage of a Single News
Event.'
The award was given for a series of special reports from Radio Azadliq's
Baku bureau in March on a referendum to amend the Azeri constitution to
allow President Ilham Aliyev to rule for life.
"This recognition is proof that, despite the road blocks being thrown up
against us by the government, our journalists continue to do groundbreaking
work," said Radio Azadliq Director Kenan Aliyev.
This recognition is proof that, despite the road blocks being thrown up
against us by the government, our journalists continue to do groundbreaking
work
Three months before the referendum, the Azeri government forced Radio
Azadliq and other international broadcasters off the national FM airwaves in
a crackdown against independent media. The move cost the station 85% of
its audience, as Azeris today can access Azadliq's award-winning
programming only via shortwave, satellite radio, and the Internet.
On the day of the vote, Azadliq's journalists fanned out at polling stations
across the country and discovered widespread violations of electoral
procedure. They followed up with election commissions, pressing officials for
explanations about irregularities. They also recruited "citizen journalists" to
document their experiences at polling sites. One reporter managed to obtain
a video of ballot stuffing.
"Thanks to this brave reporting, our Azeri listeners not only heard
descriptions of electoral fraud - they saw the faces and heard the voices of
the people involved," said Aliyev. "The AIB Award is a great honor,
especially on the heels of last week's Rafto Prize given to Malahat Nasibova
for her reporting on human rights abuses in Azerbaijan's Nakhichevan
province."
AIB officials praised Radio Azadliq, recognizing that RFE/RL journalists
"face some tough hurdles in trying to reach into countries where the press is
not as free as it should be." The corresponding award for a television
broadcast went to BBC's Persian TV for its coverage of the Iranian elections.
About RFE/RL's Azerbaijani Service
For more than 50 years, RFE/RL's Azerbaijani Service (Radio Azadliq) has
operated within a challenging media environment as a dependable source of
professional, independent, and up-to-the minute information and news.
Broadcasting for 10 hours each day, Radio Azadliq puts the values of
democracy and independence firmly at the center of its mission and is one
of the country's most respected news sources.

Subject: [HCDX] The Shortwave Report 11/06/09 Listen Globally!
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Dear Radio Friend,
The latest Shortwave Report (November 6) is up at the website
http://www.outfarpress.com/outfarpress/shortwave.shtml in both
broadcast quality (13.3MB) and quickdownload or streaming form (4.9MB)
(28:59)
(NEW! If you have access to Audioport.org there is a higher quality version
posted up there {26.7MB} http://www.audioport.org/index.php?op=producer-
info&uid=904&nav=&)
This week's show features stories from China Radio International, Radio
Netherlands, Radio Havana Cuba, and the Voice of Russia.
From CHINA- China has begun building three new nuclear power plants.
North Korea claims it has reprocessed nuclear fuel rods for possible
weapons use. The Czech Republic signed the European Unions reform
treaty, despite serious doubts about the wisdom of giving up sovereignty.
The Iraq government has signed a 20 year oil deal with British Petroleum
and China's National Petroleum Company, to develop what is reportedly the
biggest oilfield in the world. 350,000 displaced Iraqis have returned home to
widespread unemployment and lack of resources. The Afghan Presidential
runoff was cancelled when Abdullah Abdullah withdrew from the race under
protest.
From NETHERLANDS- Radio Netherlands has eliminated shortwave
broadcasts to North America. The decision is based on their surveys that
find very few listeners in N America. If you ever listen to RN on shortwave,
please let them know- by email to [email protected] or send them a letter to
Radio Netherlands Worldwide, PO Box 222, 1200JG, Hilversum, The
Netherlands.
From Kabul, an analysis of the cancellation of the Afghan election runoff.
In Germany, a buddhist bank robber has been refused permission for his cat
to visit him in jail.
From CUBA- Ousted Honduran President Zelaya says that the US
government is not helping to solve the crisis in his country. Palestinian
leaders accuse President Obama of destroying any chance of peace talks.
The US Congress voted to reject the Goldstone report on Israeli warcrimes
in last January's assault on Gaza. Walmart has expanded its offerings to
include caskets. A US federal court ruled that a Syrian-born Canadian
cannot sue for his rendition to Syria for torture.
From RUSSIA- Most Ukrainians are opposed to the country joining NATO.
UN Secretary General Ban ki Moon warned Israel about the continuation of
settlement expansion in the West Bank. The US military plans for expansion
in Colombia continue to be opposed by most of Latin America. It has been
20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall, yet many new walls have been and
are being erected such as the ones in Israel and along the Mexican border.
There is an article about the Shortwave Report by Cassandra Roos on line
at-http://www.campusprogress.org/soundvision/780/big-stories-shortwaves
I was interviewed for an informative weekly radio show Mediageek, available
at http://radio.mediageek.net
All that plus times and frequencies for listening at home. It's free to
rebroadcast, please notify me if you're airing it and haven't notified me in
the
last month, please mention the website if you only air a portion. If you just
want to listen and have a slow connection, try the streaming version- lower
sound quality but good enough and way easier if you don't have a high-
speed internet connection. If streaming is a problem because of your slow
connection, download the smaller file- it takes 20 minutes or less, and will
play swell in any mp3 player application (RealPlayer, Winamp, Quicktime,
iTunes, etc) you have on your computer.
This program will be aired on Friday afternoon at 4:30pm (PDST) on KZYX/Z
Philo CA, you might be able to stream via < http://www.kzyx.org >
There are several other streams that work better- <
http://www.freakradio.org >Freak Radio Santa Cruz now streams this
program on Friday at 9:00am.(PDST)
The Shortwave Report may be downloaded as a podcast from <
feed://www.radio4all.net/responder.php/podcast/podcast.xml?series=outFar
press+presents > or iTunes (search for "shortwave" in podcasts)
Check out the amazing streams at < http://www.radicalradio.org >
And Radio For Peace International at < http://www.rfpi.org >
I hope you'll listen and air this if you're connected with a radio station. I
am
still wondering how to get financially compensated for the 25 hours I put into
this program weekly- any ideas are appreciated. Any stations rebroadcasting
this (or listeners) are welcome to donate for production costs. You can do so
through the website. Many thanks to those that have donated! No Guilt!

IRRS-Shortwave evening CET frequency change
Hi all Listeners,
Please notice that we will have an immediate frequency change for our
evening CET slot each Fri, Sat & Sun effective Nov. 13, 2009.
We are dropping temporarily 7290 kHz in favour of what may be a cleaner
frequency.
Don't forget that lower frequency bands that allow for propagation within
1-4,000
km during darkness are extremely congested here in EU due to the low
sunspots,
so many stations are fighting on top of each other :-(
All other times and frequencies remains unchanged.
So please take a note that as of Friday Nov 13, 2009 we will be on 6170 kHz
from 1900-2100 UTC/GMT (Fri, Sat & Sun) and tune into our programs.
Please send your reception reports by email to:
reports (at) nexus (dot) org
Although we cannot guarantee a QSL to each of you, we will reply to everyone
by email, and we will greatly appreciate hearing that "there is someone
listening out-there" on our new frequency next week-end. Updated frequency
and program schedules are on our web site at:
http://www.nexus.org/NEXUS-IBA/Schedules
Thanks, take care and best 73s,
Ron

** ALBANIA. Checking R. Tirana`s 2100 English Nov 11: 9895 very poor with
flutter, opening with transmission schedule; // 7520 inaudible under some
bubbly QRM, nor was Farda. This was apparently of local origin as I was hearing
the same mess every 50 kHz down at least to 7170 and up to 7570+. At least I
sure hope it was local.
That was on the portable, perhaps too close to a neighbor`s house. On the main
rig FRG-7, 24 hours later, no such problems. Nov 12 at 2101, 9895 was poor but
readable with transmission schedule, the main problem being overload from WWCR
way up on 9980. // 7520 had better signal at fair level, with Farda via Sri
Lanka underneath but annoying, producing a rippling SAH (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CANADA [and non]. Now I`ve heard everything: CBC`s RCI interfering
co-channel with CBC`s CKZU Vancouver 6160: Nov 12 at 1358 the RCI IS
alternating English and French IDs on top of the frequency but the rippling SAH
caused by Vancouver being a couple dekaHertz off. Had to monitor 8GAL at 1400,
but recheck at 1401 found 6160 in Chinese, site? 1459 RCI IS audible again
instead of CKZU. The 14-15 hour is scheduled as RCI Mandarin via Kimjae, KOREA
SOUTH, 100 kW non-direxional. But I bet it is also capable of ruining CKZU`s
reception even in remote parts of target area BC. Did it even occur to RCI`s
frequency planners that this might present a problem? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. Firedrake Nov 12 at 1351: just barely audible on 9000, inaudible on
8400, 10210 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CHINA. After R. Nikkei is done with 6055, latest at 1400, else is to be
heard: Nov 12 at 1404 something in Vietnamese, I thought, but Cambodian is
scheduled from CRI via Nanning. I can normally tell them apart if I pay
attention a bit longer. Strangely, R. Liberty in Turkmen via Thailand is also
scheduled on 6055 from 1400, but no sign of it (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** CHINA. OTH radar pulsing, presumed from here, Nov 12: at 1405 on 5075-5125,
and same rate/pitch also on 4025-4075. A different higher pitch and faster rate
on 4565-4645 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CUBA. Looking for anything but Spanish from RHC, Nov 11 at 2109, but only //
Spanish to be heard on 13790, 13770, 11800, 11760, 11730, 9660, 6110, something
about Nov 11 the anniversary of a XIX Century Cuban historical event. No
signals audible on 17660 or 17705.
Sometimes 6060 stays on the air past 0700 in English, but not Nov 12: at 0722
it plus // 6120, 6140 and 6150 all in Spanish.
DentroCuban noise jamming again on 11600, much stronger than yesterday, at 1608
vs no known target. Why, o why? Possibly 11600 is in use at some other daypart
by some hostile broadcaster, or another total screwup at the DCJC, wasting
megawatts despite a severe energy crisis in Cuba, according to Ra?l himself.
Turn off your air conditioners and refrigerators, but keep these running! Don`t
you believe RHC`s fa?ade as a friendly station.
Nov 12 at 2035, strong transmitter on 13790 running open carrier, and still
such at 2044, while weaker 13770 was in Spanish programming. As was 9660, the
latter quite distorted. The 11760 transmitter is now in its ninth day of not
producing two dozen dirty spurs.
Non-Spanish found on one frequency, 11770, at 2037 lexuring in Arabic about
Jos? Mart? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** CYPRUS. OTH radar pulsing, presumed from here, Nov 12 at 1420 spanning
13955-13980 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ECUADOR [and non]. HCJB DRM noise still audible 15275-15280-15285, Nov 11 at
2055 check, and also Nov 12. To be closed down Nov 15. Does that mean the last
transmission will be Nov 14, or 15? And what about Portuguese on 11920 after 00
UT closing Nov 15? Does that mean last broadcast is UT Nov 14, 15 or 16? Or
rather, smoothly transitioning to CVC Chile site.
Roger Stubbe at HCJB HQ Colorado Springs noted our reports that their Arabic
program had been replaced by VTC fill music loop on 12025 at 2100-2145 via
Sackville, surprising since they had been sending their programs to VTC and
assumed they were outgoing. He got on them and had it fixed on Nov 11; after a
few minutes of open carrier vying with lite CODAR, I heard Arabic starting at
2100, upcut in progress? But soon with YL ID starting ``Huna Idha`at al-Akbar.
. .``
Checked again 24 hours later on Nov 12: 12025 cut on a few sex before 2100,
then again seems like JIP opening announcement, and this time I caught the last
two words in the long ID, ``. . .fi Mauritaniya``, but still missing the middle
ones.
Roger Stubbe says this is HCJB`s own ministry; they just don`t use the
meaningless Roman letters in that context. His full explanation of what
happened with VTC in upcoming DXLD 9-080 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** INDIA. AIR GOS, 9690 to SE Asia, Nov 12 at 1346 was giving program summary
for the rest of the broadcast, times both in IST and UT. Do they really think
`overseas` listeners really need to be confused by times given in India`s wacky
zone out of step with the rest of the world? Anyhow, since GOS does not publish
any program schedules on paper or on the web (that I have been able to find),
this is the only way to put together a program schedule.
Would those who listen frequently please copy all this down over a week`s
period, in UT only and send it along. They probably do the same at a certain
daily time in the other transmissions. Listeners` Choice followed at 1348, i.e.
music requests. Good signal, better than usual, with some hum. Considerably
weaker at 1455 with GOS of AIR ID and final news summary.
The AIR Aligarh blobmess Nov 12 at 1357 covered more than usual, 9460 to 9490,
including Australia on 9475, but peaked about 9460 rather than nominal 9470
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** ISRAEL. Galei Tsahal varies further downward away from the 15790 station, a
good thing, Nov 12 at 1425 measured on 15782.6 with a slow song, not recognized
but lyrix I think in English; modulation a bit rough and carrier slightly
unstable. 1429 to Hebrew announcement, ads (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** KOREA NORTH [non]. 9780 good with Japanese YL over piano music, Nov 12 at
1605; she sounds sad, no doubt because speaking of abductees in this Furusato
no Kaze broadcast per Aoki, via Tainan, Taiwan, 250 kW at 45 degrees so also
USward. No giggling here! (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** KURDISTAN [non]. V. of Mesopotamia, 11530, Nov 12 at 1440 with neat Kurdish
music of which they play a lot; fair signal but splatter from WEWN 11550. This
TDP transmission per HFCC is 300 kW, 129 degrees via Simferopol`, Ukraine, the
cover site for the real one as in Aoki, Mykolaiv (a.k.a. Nikolayev in Russian),
32-14E, 46-49N (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. Just tuned 21525, RN via Bonaire, in time to hear a few
notes of closing music until 2057* Nov 11 and know that reception the preceding
hour would have been quite good. English at 21-23 would be more convenient for
me, but can`t have everything. // 11655 via Madagascar stayed on a while longer
with open carrier, but not very interesting. Next day after 2030 Nov 12,
however, 21525 was not so solid, while 11655 was quite good (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. Happy Station on WRMI, Thu Nov 12 at 1600+, heard on
webcast, but could have been heard on 9955: Keith Perron said all the extra
repeats of HS on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday are of the 1600
edition, not the different 0200 UT Thursday edition. Except, next week Nov 19,
all airings will carry the David Monson interview. Keith also said the 0200
broadcast this week explains why he doesn`t like Arnie Coro, still living in

** NIGERIA. 15120, VON with ID in English at 2029 Nov 12, but badly squeezed
between WYFR on 15115 and REE/Costa Rica on 15125, not to mention another WYFR
on 15130. It would take tight selectivity to read VON clearly.
Frequency management in action: NO signals at all from 15135 to 15185, which
means they could have been in the clear with no co- or adjacent-channel QRM on
15140, 15145, 15150, 15155, 15160, 15165, 15170, 15175, or 15180. What
frequency management? Nigeria does not participate in HFCC, so they are lucky
not to have something directly on top of them on 15120. VON has always used
15120 and nothing but 15120 on 19m and that`s good enough for them,
inconceivable to go anywhere else.
Wolfgang B?schel suggests that my unID DRM 15115-15120-15125 Nov 11 at 1525
might have been Abuja testing a new DRM-capable transmitter; which no doubt
will solve all their problems (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** SAUDI ARABIA. The Buzzing Service of the KSA, again heard on 11785, Nov 12
at 1413, producing some QRM to NHK 11780 in English via UK. This buzz not
strong and not heard every day on this Riyadh-listed frequency (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** TAIWAN. RTI Japanese service on 9735, Nov 12 at 1345 was quite strong, but
overmodulating and splattering down to 9700; soon the splatter moderated but
still overmod on fundamental. The sporadic spurs on 9730 and 9740 were not
noted this time (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. VOA is at it again --- interfering with itself. Nov 11 at
2056 I find a large open carrier on 15580. It could have been on from 5 to 10
minutes earlier. That`s Greenville about to start its only hour of VOA English
on this frequency. But VOA English runs on 15580 from 14 to 22 with six
transmitter site changes in eight hours (plus a beam change from the same
site), so there could well be many more instances of this on 15580 and many
other frequencies, as VOA abuts many transmissions from different sites on same
frequency.
In this case it`s Iranawila, Sri Lanka, which had been running the previous
hour of English, also to Africa, from the other worldside. I could barely
imagine hearing VOA audio underneath the carrier, but in target Africa the
situation should be quite different with more equal signal levels from the two.
I had other stuff to monitor around hourtop so did not note when GB-15580
started modulating with YDD sign-on or not, but the carrier alone is problem
enough, and by 2103 VOA news was in progress.
Checked 15580 again 24 hours later on Nov 12: at tune-in 2027 the strong
Greenville carrier was already on, but broke for less than a minute, off again
at 2031. Next check at 2047 it was on again and stayed on until 2100
programming.
This is worse than what was happening for months on 17585 between Greenville
and Botswana at 1430, until toward the end of A-09, after our repeated
complaints they finally got their act together to coordinate the switchover
without overlapping for a few minutes.
How long will it take this time to drop carrier immediately (DCI) and then
crash-start (CS) from the next transmitter?
R. Mart?, Greenville, 15330, Nov 12 at 1433 extremely strong and splattering
plus/minus 20 kHz. Could barely detect DentroCuban jamming underneath. But is
it that good in the Free Territory? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 17775, KVOH with huge signal as occasionally happens presumably tnx
to off-season HF-only sporadic-E opening, Nov 11 at 2105. Enough to bring with
it distorted spur circa 17920, no definite carrier; the match on 17630 however
was no match for RFI Spanish via Guiana French.
But next morning, Nov 12 at 1612, 17775 is even stronger and both spurs were
audible, consisting of noise, whine, and bits of modulation (Glenn Hauser, OK,
DX LISTENING DIGET)
** U S A. 21640, weak, fading non-Arabic signal at 1617 Nov 12. Saudi is off by
1500, so this is WHRI scheduled 87 degrees to Africa.
BTW, FCC confirms that WHRA in Maine is permanently off the air. WHR website
now labels ``Angel 5`` as another WHRI unit. Yet this page
http://www.whr.org/Technical-Information.cfm still claims this ``WHRI`` is in
Greensbush, Maine! I also see that current WHRI listings by FCC do not show the
azimuths WHRA employed as recently as A-09, such as 75 degrees (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. 13570, WINB, VG Nov 12 at 2033 with the unmistakable mumbling of
convicted sex-offending, child-marrying evangelist Tony Alamo, accusing Dr Phil
of lying about him, re having guns in the compound; and blessing God anyway for
whatever happens to him. Like finally being sentenced Friday Nov 13, after
numerous delays per
http://www.tonyalamonews.com
The WINB schedule shows him on thrice weekdaily: 8 am, 11 am, 3 pm ET = 1400,
1700, 2000 UT; the first one on 9265. WINB has shown no signs of dropping this
criminal, like WWCR did as soon as he was convicted last July. Will they now
after Nov 13? If they read this, would it convince them?
http://www.tonyalamonews.com/584/tony-alamos-secrets-exposed.php
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [and non]. WBCQ, 9330-CUSB, with hard rock music, Nov 12 at 2051,
stronger than // 7415 which seemed to have some co-channel QRM under, China?
Unfortunately, I missed checking before 2030 to confirm whether or not new
WORLD OF RADIO 1486 was airing on both frequencies this time again. Next
chances to hear it on WBCQ are UT Fri 0100 on 5110, Mon 2300 on 7415.
IRRS advises us that they are changing immediately from 7290 to 6170 for the
weekend 19-21 UT broadcast, so look for WORLD OF RADIO there Saturday at 1900.
6170 does appear to have a clear shot during these two hours only, tho flanked
by Croatia and Brother Scare; that should be an improvement over co-channel
Russia on 7290, and adjacents China on 7285, 7295 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFED. 4975, regular pulsing noises at the rate of 210 per minute, Nov 12
at 1409. Not like OTH radar, but what is it? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 6074, my first copy this season of 8GAL, the mysterious CW marker
which appears just as Radio Rossii, 6075 is signing off from
Petropavlovsk/Kamchatskiy at 1400, and thought to be a Russian army transmitter
somewhere around there. Listening from 1359 Nov 12, the marker started about 15
sex before the hour, before the R.R. timesignal, so mixing with it. Not much
QRM from China/Taiwan this time. Same message as always, and slight variations
make me suspect it is hand-keyed: VVV CQ CQ CQ DE 8GAL 8GAL 8GAL K. Quite clear
and easy copy (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. Strong DRM on 9445-9450-9455, Nov 12 at 2046. Is any DRM listed
here in B-09 HFCC, Aoki, EiBi, or DRM DX schedule? Of course not! Why should
the DRM folx bother with that? These frequencies were last known in use for the
HCJB-sponsored DRM tests via IBB Greenville, apparently still going (Glenn
Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. 15570, unoccupied by known broadcasters, again with an open
carrier, S9+15, Nov 12 at 1431, but also with a continuous het or tone, could
not tell which (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ###

Peru, 4790, Radio Vision, 0045-0100 With a good signal so far, noted nice
Huaynos
music. The good thing about Huaynos music is that the tunes are rather long
which
gives the listener a chance to get a cup of Joe or go to the John before the
tune has
ended. At 0051 this tune finishes and a male comments in Spanish briefly
before
another tune begins. Signal was Fair. (Chuck Bolland, Novembere 13, 2009)

Subject: [HCDX] BBC marks 70 years on air in Turkey with a look at the
future of news
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
The BBC?s news service in Turkish, BBC Turk?e, marks its 70 years of
broadcasting on Friday 20 November with a special event looking at the future
of news. A multimedia co-production with the BBC?s partner in Turkey, NTV,
Future of News is a televised debate co-presented by the BBC?s David Eades and
NTV?s Banu G?ven.
The panel discussion with invited audience debates the effect on news of
various global challenges, from new technologies to economic pressures. The
BBC-NTV debate also questions whether there is a contradiction between the
increasing power of the individual to use the internet for self-expression on
the one hand, and the state?s instinct to put this freedom under control on the
other.
Recorded on Monday 16 November at an NTV studio in Istanbul, the televised
debate also runs across the BBC Turk?e and NTV radio and online outputs. It
will also be available via the YouTube channel where BBC Turk?e is launching
its content in time for the anniversary (YouTube.com/bbcturkce). Audiences are
invited to text, email or ?twitter? their questions and comments to BBC Turk?e
and NTV.
Panellists include:
* Steve Herrmann, Editor, BBC News website
* John Owen, Professor of International Journalism and Media Consultant
* Stewart Purvis, Partner, Content and Standards, Ofcom, the regulator for
the UK communications industries;
* Sadeq Saba, Head, BBC Persian
* Haluk ?ahin, Columnist, Broadcaster and Lecturer
* Ahmet Ye??ltepe, Editor-in-Chief, ntvmsnbc.com
H?seyin S?kan, Head of BBC Turk?e, says: ?When the BBC began broadcasting in
Turkish 70 years ago, the future of news seemed clear. But is it now? As we
engage the panel and the audience in a conversation about the future of news,
we ask if the traditional media will survive or if, to do so, they need to
transform; if reputations will still matter in the emerging media markets or if
chances to success are more or less the same for anyone. We also ask if
regulators can shut off ?unwanted? new-media information flow - or if this
information will find its way through all kinds of barriers. It?s going to be
an interesting discussion, and we are looking forward to engaging with our
audience, whichever platform they are using to connect with us.?
Launched on 20 November 1939, BBC Turk?e has established itself among
Turkish-speaking audiences as a trusted and respected news service, placing
events and developments in Turkey and the region in the global context. Today,
BBC Turk?e has evolved into a multimedia operation, offering news, information
and analysis on radio, online, mobile phones - and television, with D?nya
G?ndemi, the news and current-affairs programme broadcast by NTV. Alongside
radio and online partnership with NTV, the BBC Turk?e online news content on
bbcturkce.com is also available on the Hurriyet and Haberturk websites.
BBC Turk?e is a multimedia service which offers its audiences news,
information, reviews and analysis, placing events and developments in Turkey
and the region in the global context. The radio programmes are broadcast
nationally in Turkey at 07.00 and 18.00 Turkish Time on weekdays, 18.00 on
Saturdays, and 11.00 and 18.00 on Sundays via the partner NTV Radyo. The BBC
Turk?e TV news and current-affairs programme, D?nya G?ndemi, features three
times a week on the NTV news channel. The BBC Turk?e website, bbcturkce.com,
offers news and analysis in text, audio and video, and can be accessed via
mobile phones and via a range of partner websites.
