BBC World Service receives government funding boost
http://www.gadling.com/2011/06/22/bbc-world-service-receives-millions-to-increase-arabic-
broadcast/
http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118038946?refCatId=14
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-13873853 here
Peter Horrocks, director of the BBC World Service, explains what the extra
funding means.
Continue reading the main story
BBC World Service is to receive an extra ?2.2m per year over the next three
years from the
government.
The funding boost will be used to maintain BBC Arabic Service's "valuable work
in the
region", Foreign Secretary William Hague said.
The BBC will also reallocate an additional ?9m to safeguard the Hindi language
short wave
service.
It comes after the government cut 16% of the World Service's ?270m budget as
part of last
year's spending review.
In a written statement to MPs, Mr Hague said: "It is right that we should look
at ways in which
we can assist the BBC Arabic Service to continue their valuable work in the
region.
"I have agreed that we will provide additional funding of ?2.2m per annum to
enable the
World Service to maintain the current level of investment."
Mr Hague said although the original 16% cut was "fair and proportionate", he
had
reconsidered the decision in response to recent events in the Middle East and
North Africa.
Additional investment
"We recognise that the world has changed since the settlement was announced in
October
last year," he said.
Continue reading the main story
Mr Hague added the Foreign Office was in discussion with the Arab Partnership
Initiative to
fund specific BBC Arabic Service or World Service projects which could create
an additional
investment of ?1.65m over the next two years.
Earlier this month, BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten told the Sunday Telegraph he
would
lobby the government over its funding of the World Sevice, which will end in
2014 and be
taken over by the BBC.
He said the Arabic, Hindi and Somali services are "core" to the broadcasting
operation.
However, the corporation announced in January it would close five of its 32
World Service
language services as part of its plan to cut spending by 20% after last year's
licence fee
settlement.
Radio programming in seven other languages including Mandarin Chinese, Russian
and
Turkish were also hit, while other services would be scaled back.
The BBC Trust welcomed the government's announcement, adding the reallocation
of ?9m
of BBC money over three years would "mitigate the impact of recent funding
cuts".
"It will also allow a small amount of investment in new activities, in
particular on new
platforms and in emerging markets," it added.
Lord Patten said: "I am delighted that we have been able to work with the
Foreign Secretary
to direct some more funding to these services. The additional money will help
protect BBC
services in the areas where they are most valued and needed.

BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten said the World Service was important in the UK's
so-called
'soft diplomacy'.
"However, it does not mean that we will be able to restore all of what has been
lost, and there
will still need to be some cuts to the World Service as we have known it.
"We are determined that, when we take full responsibility for funding of the
World Service
after 2014, it will have the priority it deserves," he added.
The Foreign Office website initially headlined the announcement "Massive U-turn
on BBC
World Service funding," but it was subsequently changed to "BBC World Service
Funding
Review."
A spokeswoman said the headline did not reflect government views and
disciplinary action
was being taken.

Analysis
Image of Torin Douglas Torin Douglas Media Correspondent, BBC News
The embarrassing headline which briefly appeared on the Foreign Office website
- "Massive
U-turn on BBC World Service funding" - can be challenged on two counts. It's
not massive
and the foreign secretary doesn't admit it's a U-turn.
William Hague told MPs that the original 16% cuts were "proportionate and
fair". He says it
was the subsequent uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa that led the
FCO to grant
an extra ?2.2m a year to the BBC's Arabic Service.
The BBC welcomed the move but has played its part too. It has put ?20m of
licence-fee
funds towards restructuring the World Service, so money can be released to save
the Hindi
service on shortwave and the Somali service. This may not satisfy those MPs who
branded
the cuts a "false economy" - but it's all they're likely to get.

** GERMANY [non]. 17820, June 23 at 0557, big S9+18 carrier, then DW IS,
seeking siblings for a while longer, 0600 Nachrichten. This is 250 kW, 295
degrees from RWANDA also USward, the only hour from this site, but DW uses
17820 at other dayparts via UK, Portugal, Sri Lanka, even WHRI (Glenn Hauser,
OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** MEXICO. Much more sporadic E analog TV DX June 22, continued from last
report, in UT:
1908 on 6, net-5 toon dominating CCI briefly
1935 on 6, net-7 bug UR, dark film over CCI, then losing to net-5 toon
1941 on 6, net-5 with Spongebob, also 2007
Then I switched to FM but coming mostly from USA, except 90.7, 87.75, q.v.
2050, MUF has dropped to ch 3
2203 on 2, old movie from southwest with bug UR showing 38 degrees, something
in a box to its right, and below that tu canal, and 4:03 PM clock, i.e. UT-6;
therefore it is XEPM in Ciudad Ju?rez, Chihuahua, scarcely one megameter away,
closer than usual E-skip range.
2204 on 4, novela VG with Azteca-13 bug in UR. Ch 4 used to be El Paso, but
this would be either Chihuahua city XHIT or Hermosillo, Sonora XHHSS. Hmm,
Mexico could now move an analog ch 4 into Ju?rez.
2205 on 5, gobierno federal PSA for ifai. Either XEJ Ju?rez or XHFI Chihua2.
IFAI = Instituto Federal de Acceso a la Informaci?n P?blica.
TVDX was fading out and I was busy producing WORLD OF RADIO 1570 the next few
hours, but next check it`s back, UT June 23:
0230 on 5, Azteca-13 novela from WSW, surely XHAQ Mexicali; 0253 Calimex ad,
back to A-13 novela; A-13 still in and out at 0443.
0230 on 6, briefly snow-free, US drama with TV14 rating upper left, also
unusually letterboxed, no audio to tell whether English or Spanish, but
probably XETV Tijuana in English.
0231 on 3, f?tbol with heavy CCI from same offset (a common problem with XHQ
Culiac?n way down the coast.) The other surely XHBC Mexicali. (Robin Harwood in
Tasmania says the Women`s World Cup is currently being held in Mexico --- I
didn`t really notice whether the players yesterday vs a Congo were female;
imagine that --- nothing like the distinctively-uniformed Lingerie League.)
0306 on 3, net-5 bug UR, vivo and Televisa logo LR, shots of female fans, then
back to f?tbol (or in this case, futbola?).
0540 on 3, XHBC now with Televisa promos, local news about Tijuana. Distinctive
N bug for Noticias in LR, clock 22:40 = UT -7. Somewhat unusual to have Es
still incoming after local midnite (not really = 2308 LMT).
Altho Es was working on HF 15 MHz, inbooming WWCR, WEWN, nothing on VHF the
next morning, except a brief fade in of algo on 2 at 1550 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** NETHERLANDS [non]. 11835, Thursday June 23 at 1402, fair signal from
endangered RN in English, less ACI now from 11830, only RHC, no WYFR. Talking
about home heating, less wood fuel gathering, 1403 leprosy. It`s `South Asia
Wired`, from this week`s previews:
``Programme in which South Asians get to talk to each other. Leprosy has laid
an indelible mark for generations in one village near Jaffna. But these days,
its sufferers are claiming back their dignity and their rights with the help of
a traditional musical theatre called Koothu. Also in the programme we hear
about how homes in Pakistan?s Hindu Kush mountains that used to be cold and
filled with filthy wood smoke during the harsh winters have undergone a
revolution. What?s changed? Find out on South Asia Wired. This week, South Asia
Wired is hosted by Sara Nics. First airing: Thursday 14:00 UTC``
11835 is 250 kW, 50 degrees from MADAGASCAR at 1400-1457 only.
Complete remaining English from RNW per WRTH A-11 update2:
1000-1100 daily SEA 12065pht, 15110pht
1400-1500 daily SAs 9800trm, 11835mdc
1800-1900 daily SAf 6020mdc
1800-2000 daily EAf 15495wer
1900-2100 daily CAf, SAf 7425mdc
1900-2100 daily WAf 11615kig (ex 11610)
We can sometimes also hear the 15495, 11615 broadcasts.
The previews also say: ``Hello, On Monday 27 June from 0600 to 1200 UT there
will be live coverage in Dutch from The Hague on the cutbacks RNW faces. Go to
http://play.rnw.nl/player/index.html?channel=nl
to follow this coverage. In Europe you can also hear the broadcast on shortwave
5955 kHz, and from 0800 UT also on 1296 and 9895 kHz. Enjoy our programmes!

** U S A. It`s time for WTJC to degenerate into a nasty spur producer for a
while again: 9370, June 23 at 1252 is overmodulated and crackly during hymn
putting out scratchy spurs around 9395 and 9345 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING
DIGEST)
** U S A. 15825, June 23 at 1347, WWCR has built up to a hefty S9+22 tnx to
sporadic E (but not reaching VHF in analog), which previously has been enough
to audiblize the spur field circa 15670, but no sign of it today! Perhaps the
transmitter has been tweaked; it`s still squealy in the background on 15825
itself (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1570 monitoring: Thursday June 23 after 1500 on WRMI
9955, presumably first airing but all I can hear is a SAH with presumed Taiwan;
no jamming, anyway, unlike the WON on 9965. WRMI repeats are: Thu 2100, Fri
1430, Sat 0800, 1500, 1730, Sun 0800, 1530, 1730, etc., etc. On WBCQ: Thursday
2130 on 7415 = NEW which started last week. On WWRB: UT Friday 0330v on 5050.
On WRN via SiriusXM 120: Sat & Sun 1730, Sun 0830 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A [non]. 17545, June 23 at 1409 rock music, then YL ID as VOA Music Mix.
16m reception much degraded, but this lo-latitude signal is fairly good, 100
kW, 124 degrees from S?o Tom?. Too bad the programming was nothing substantial
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
** U S A. While ch 2-6 were full of Mexican signals from the south, I switched
to FM monitoring again June 22, indoor DX-398 on AC with whip only, and found
that band open from the WSW:
2012 on 96.5, promo for Oahu trip contest on what sounded like ``Kix-zee
96.5``, then website I thought spelt kixy.com, San Diego zoo ad. But its real
calls are KYXY per FM Atlas! And the real website is http://kyxy.com which
forwards to http://kyxy.radio.com/
2014 on 94.9, Las Vegas ad, circuscircus.com. RDS showed ``94/9 Music FM It`s
About Music``, or something like that, showing in bits and pieces. The slant is
distinctive, anyway. Spoken ID as ``FM 94 [pause] 9``, ad for San Diego
Hydroponix, so it`s KBZT in San Diego CA.
2018 on 91.5, BBCWS news about China, then calling for comments on Facebook.
How about spending all your valuable/expensive airtime on real news instead of
asking listeners what we think about it?! 2019 local break has KJZZ Phoenix AZ
promo, traffic.
2026 on 97.7, `Fresh Air` interview, not // 91.5, but surely a public radio
station. Seems too strong to be a translator. The only possibility in the area
with an asterisk in FM Atlas is KQVO in Calexico CA, a 6 kW relay of KPBS San
Diego, relog as explained at
http://www.kpbs.org/radio/calexico/
2030 on 99.9, ad mentions ``East Valley`` --- rather generic, but the area
around Escondido is known as San Diego`s East Valley. However, there is no 99.9
closer than San Bernardino, so let`s try Phoenix --- yes, ``East Valley`` also
applies there, where 99.9 is KESZ.
2035 on 90.7, Spanish music mixing with English talk. The latter likely KPFK
Los ?ngeles. Cant? shows two BCN stations now:
90.7 XHMOE Los 40 Principales Mexicali, B.C. 100,000
90.7 XHTIM La Mejor (anteriormente en 97.7) Tijuana, B.C. 11,500
2046 on 87.75, English ad probably XETV gives way to Spanish religion, probably
a ch 6 analog audio-only `Franken-FM`, KSFV-LP, Guadalupe Radio in Los ?ngeles
(Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
UNIDENTIFIED. More mystery 1000 Hz tone-tests June 23:
1255 on 17800, poor with flutter; instead of ceding to duly registered DW
Rwanda in Hausa from 1300, tone stays on, under DW at 1311, 1325, 1345.
1351 on 11620, poor and now 17800 is off; still on 11620 at 1401 and 1405, but
not at 1419.
1405 on 11980, AND on 11620, so we know at least two transmitters are doing
this. By 1419, 11980 is JBA, and even less so, a trace at 1428 (Glenn Hauser,
