Much fretting goes on nowadays about the future of traditional broadcast radio. 
Appliances are changing, and the old-school radio that used to be a fixture in 
kitchens, cars and pocket transistors has morphed rapidly into smartphones and 
Wi-Fi devices.Though the future of broadcast is murky, the roots of what's now 
consumed as KIRO Radioon multiple platforms (including radios) is clear, and is 
celebrating a big milestone this week.In a nearly hidden basement at 4th and 
University Street in downtown Seattle, KIRO Radio officially went on the air 80 
years ago with help from Franklin Delano Roosevelt's Vice President John Nance 
Garner.Vice President Garner and other dignitaries were on hand in the Cobb 
Building at 5 p.m. on Oct. 15, 1935 when KIRO boosted its power from 250 to 500 
watts. Earlier that day, KIRO became the new call-letters for a station 
formerly known as KPCB. The "PCB" stood for "Pacific Coast Biscuits," flagship 
product of Seattle's Centennial Flour Mills. Local businessman and politically 
well-connected U.S. Customs official Saul Haas bought the station from 
Centennial executive Moritz Thomsen and set about making big changes right 
away.Radio broadcasting was still a relatively new phenomenon in 1935, and Haas 
set his sights on making KIRO a powerhouse. From 500 watts, KIRO ultimately 
beat every other station in the Northwest and, with permission from the Federal 
Communications Commission, went to 50,000 watts during the summer of 1941. To 
accomplish the boost, KIRO built a glamorous new transmitter building and 
antenna array on Vashon/Maury Island.When the U.S. entered World War II later 
that year, the government froze all pending power boosts for radio stations, 
leaving KIRO the only 50,000-watt powerhouse west of the Twin Cities and north 
of San Francisco for the next five years. The nighttime signal went as far as 
Alaska and northern California.During World War II, KIRO carried most of CBS' 
most famous broadcasts, including Edward R. Murrow reporting from London, and 
other correspondents covering the war in Europe and the Pacific. KIRO also made 
recordings of those famous broadcasts, and saved them at the Vashon transmitter 
site. A University of Washington professor named Milo Ryan discovered the 
collection in the 1950s, and the entire treasure trove of audio history now 
resides in the National Archives. Many recordings of famous World War II 
broadcasts exist only because KIRO saved them.The other major milestone in 
KIRO's history was the move to the news radio format in 1974, followed soon 
after by the securing of rights to Seahawks' broadcasts for the team's 
inaugural season in 1976. Personalities including Pete Gross, Jim French, Bill 
Yeend and Wayne Cody were among the most recognizable voices on KIRO from the 
1970s to the 1990s, along with play-by-play for the Sonics by Bob Blackburn and 
then Kevin Calabro, and Dave Niehaus and Rick Rizzs for the Mariners (unlike 
the Seahawks, the Sonics and the Mariners weren't always with KIRO over the 
years).KIRO's combination of news, sports and talk has ebbed and flowed over 
the past 41 years, but the ingredients have remained basically the same. Saul 
Haas sold the station to Bonneville in 1964; the station separated from KIRO TV 
and went through a complicated series of ownership changes in the 1990s and 
2000s, but came back into the Bonneville fold in 2007. The programming mix of 
what had been KIRO 710 AM was moved to FM in 2009, a trend seen elsewhere in 
the U.S. over the past decade.For people who love radio (including this biased 
writer and media historian, who, full disclosure, is also curator of The 
Northwest Hall of Radio History at Washington State University), the readily 
accessible presence of live and local voices experiencing and talking about 
what's going on at that particular moment in real time is what continues to set 
radio apart from every other medium. It could even be argued that radio 
listeners who stay tuned to a particular program or station are simultaneously 
"sharing" and "liking" without having to click on an icon or post a link. 
Radio, some say, is the original social media.Radio's greatest strength is its 
function as a kind of community glue, linking people within range of the 
transmitter who have, at the very least, geography in common. Hearing those 
familiar voices subtly reminds us that we live in the same place as our 
neighbors, that we have a stake in our community's future, as well as a 
responsibility to contribute to

[HCDX] BBC Asian Network celebrates 50 years of Asian broadcasting

[JOSE MIGUEL ROMERO ROMERO]

BBC Asian Network celebrates 50 years of Asian broadcasting

Last Saturday (10 October) marked 50 years of ground-breaking BBC programming 
created to serve British Asians.

To celebrate, BBC Asian Network is marking the milestone both on and off air 
over the next few months, with documentaries and archive content and 
culminating in a comedy night in the home of BAME (Black, Asian, and minority 
ethnic) broadcasting, Birmingham.

On 10th October, 1965, the BBC broadcast its first ever programme created 
especially for the UK's newest inhabitants from South Asia. Called 'Apna Hi 
Ghar Samajhiye’ (Make Yourself at Home) and featuring language lessons and 
handy household tips, it was created to help this new community assimilate into 
British life.

This innovative programme not only reflected the lives of immigrants in the 
60's, but also charted the growing confidence of a community which now calls 
itself British-Asian. 

BBC Asian Network has produced a two part radio series called ‘Asian Network 
Presents: 50 Years of Asian Programming on the BBC’, which explores the past 
five decades of Asian programming on the BBC. The first episode which aired on 
Sunday 11October delved into early programming from 1965 to 1986.

It looked at these early years with music from icons like Reshma, Kishore Kumar 
and the Sabri Brothers and clips from a diverse range of interviews including 
Amitabh Bachchan, Indira Gandhi and Margaret Thatcher. The episode is available 
to listen back to on the BBC iPlayer for up to 30 days.

The second part airs this Sunday 18 October at 1pm and focuses on programmes 
from the 1990’s, such as BBC Two’s Network East, Bollywood and Bust, Café 21 
and Desi DNA, many of which were produced in BBC Birmingham. 

These strands were created to target second-generation British Asians and they 
launched the careers of Sanjeev Bhaskar, Anita Rani, Adil Ray, and current BBC 
Asian Network presenters Nihal Arthanyake and Bobby Friction. 

Over the next couple of months the BBC Asian Network will also be unearthing 
archive interviews, live sessions and music for broadcast across their schedule.

To round off the celebrations of 50 years of Asian broadcasting, the station 
will be holding a comedy night in Birmingham with comedians delivering stand up 
shows, drawing on a range of popular television and radio clips from over the 
years. 

Comedians taking part include Coventry’s Guz Khan who starts his Saturday 
morning show on BBC Asian Network on 28November (6-10am), and India’s top 
female comedian, Aditi Mittal.

Mark Strippel, Head of Programmes at the BBC Asian Network, said: “It’s really 
important that 50 years on from the first Asian programme on the BBC we are 
still representing British-Asian audiences more strongly than ever.

“Birmingham was the birthplace of this type of BAME broadcasting and, five 
decades on, BBC Asian Network continues to produce great programming for Radio, 
iPlayer and Red Button in this diverse and vibrant city. 

“I’m excited to be celebrating this incredible narrative of British-Asian 
cultural history. And the comedy night is the perfect way to welcome Guz Khan 
into the Asian Network family.

“Also this autumn, in addition to Guz Khan, we will be welcoming Preeya 
Kalidas, Harpz Kaur and Mim Shaikh to the station. These four talented new 
presenters will be further strengthening the network’s commitment to our 
audiences, delivering new shows with great music, guests and chat.”

[HCDX] Radio Bata 5005

[Stig Hartvig Nielsen]

Radio Bata from Equatorial Guinea can now be heard mornings on 5005 kHz
signing on around 0500 UTC. First noted on 5005.02 at tune in 0505 UTC on
October 13 with non stop music only. Also on October 14 from sign on at 0501
UTC with non stop music. And on October 15. Today October 16 the transmitter
was switched on at 0505 UTC and soon followed by at least three clear
station ID's and announcements in Spanish. Today heard on 5005.05 kHz.
Signal strength at sign on is fairly good, but at my receiving location the
signal starts fading out around 0515 and by 0545 the signal is lost. I
haven't been able to catch Radio Bata - or even a trace of a carrier -
during evening hours. 

I am using 250 metres beverage aerial towards south

know it`s on, via off-frequency, just not propagating any more than that to 
North America Central (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** BONAIRE. 800, Oct 16 at 0120, weak Spanish underneath KQCV OKC gospel huxter 
in English, making SAH of 2.53 Hz, presumed R. Transmundial, TWR, PJB, in the 
absence of XEROK (or CKLW for that matter) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** BRAZIL. 11934.91, Oct 16 at 0050, Brazuguese mentions São Paulo, very poor 
S3, from RB2; no sign of Cairo if it`s still attempting to reach Latin America 
on 11935v (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** EGYPT. 12070.0, Oct 16 at 0052, JBA carrier, presumed R. Cairo Spanish, 
which if audiblized would surely be unlistenable. Sought here anyway after 
hearing not even a carrier on // 11935, just Brasil, q.v. Then check Arabic on 
9964.985 approx., S6 carrier with no modulation I can detect. Didn`t get around 
to checking the fourth channel at this hour, 9315. 

So where will they be mis-broadcasting in B-15 between 0045 and 0200? HFCC B-15 
as usual shows more frequencies than transmitters, i.e. some are just wooden 
alternates: 9315, 9860, 9965, 11750, 11935, 12070, 12080. English at 2300-2430 
still on 9965; at 0200-0330 on 9315 or 9860 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** INDIA. 6155, Oct 16 at 0041, very poor signal with S Asian song, still so at 
0114. HFCC shows AIR Urdu, -0430, 250 kW, 282 degrees from Aligarh. No sign 
of R. Fides, ex-6155.1, which very well may have been driven off that longtime 
frequency by AIR inbooming to Bolivia. So far I`ve had no luck hearing Fides on 
its replacement, 6055 (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** MEXICO. 1300, Oct 16 at 0127, as I tune in, ``Radio México Noticias, XEP, 
tercera edición, por Radio Trece, info desde Chihuahua Capital, en Radio México 
Noticias``. So Ciudad Juárez dominating as usual with 38 kW instead of 200 
watts (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** NEWFOUNDLAND [and non]. 2598-USB, Oct 16 at 0053, YL in English with marine 
weather, very poor with storm noise level from western and northeastern OK. CGC 
website says starting at 0048 is VCP Placentia, Nfld., via St. Lawrence site. 

2749-USB, Oct 16 at 0053, YL in French, poor signal slightly better than 2598. 
CGC says starting at 0040 is VCO Sydney, Nova Scotia via Port Caledonia site, 
but not in French? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1170, Oct 16 at 0125 UT, KFAQ Tulsa forecasting a high today of 91 
--- guess what, it`s night already, and this is outdated on a 50 kW 
IBOC-monster. You can`t do better than that? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1530, Oct 16 at 0030 UT, Gregorian chant catches my ear, like the 
stuff your hear on EWTN/WEWN network; 0031 into lo-fi Spanish talk from phone, 
0032 UT mentions Catedral de la Sagrada Familia; loops ESE/WNW, so I suppose 
it`s just KXTD Wagoner, tho not the programming I would expect nor normally 
hear on QueBuenaTulsa. No way it`s daytimer WJDM Elizabeth NJ, the only SS:REL 
1530 listed in NRC AM Log (Glenn Hauser, Enid, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** OKLAHOMA. 1600, Oct 15 at 1818 UT on caradio, KUSH Cushing resumes the 
`Marilu Henner Show` after a break; and at 1906 UT after some news, she herself 
voices a KUSH ID. This is contrary to my recent writeup where I had found on 
their website that Dennis Miller occupied the M-F 1-4 pm CT slot. So I search 
on Marilu and find this:

``Happy New Year from the KUSH! Molly Payne Published on: 12/31/2014
This past year we have also added a few new things to the KUSH. In the fall, 
not only did KUSH add a new show (The Marilu Henner Show) to its weekday 
afternoon programming, but we also began broadcasting Drumright Tornado 
football on Citylinktv/Drumright``

So it seems Marilu has been on KUSH for at least a year, altho the few-programs 
page
http://1600kush.com/index.php?section=7
still shows Dennis Miller at 1-4 pm CT. There`s a lot about her guest lineup 
every day, here when show is live at 9 am-noon `PST`, 
presumably meaning PDT for the rest of October = 16-19 UT:
http://www.marilushow.com/
subtitled `Life, Love, Laughter` and a lot lighter, more variety than you would 
get from far-right convert and ex-comedian Dennis Miller.

I don`t recall running across her talkshow before, and here`s why. Altho at a 
variety of delayed times, affiliate list has only 28 stations, mostly in small 
markets, 
http://www.marilushow.com/?page_id=1857
with exception of: CKLW 800 Windsor and a few small stations in bigger cities. 
But Clark Howard is still on afterwards, at 2107 UT check October 15. By now a 
SAH is starting, presumably from 25 kW Vietnamese KRVA The Metroplex skywaving 
already (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST) 

** OKLAHOMA. 1650, Oct 16 at 0021 UT, promo by wacko Alex Jones at 9 pm on 
``KYHN``; 0024 UT, jingle SID, ``Arklahoma`s Talk Radio, KYHN``. As of 

[HCDX] Glenn Hauser logs October 14-15, 2015

[Glenn Hauser via Hard-Core-DX]

** ALBANIA. 9850, Oct 15 at 0138, no signal from R. Tirana. May well be on, but 
MUF is dropping at the end of the A-15 season. We can hardly wait until Oct 27 
when English to N America moves to 7425, and to 0230-0300 UT Tue-Sun. (All RT 
broadcasts will be on 7 MHz band; other English at 2100-2130 Mon-Sat on 7465; 
might even need to drop to 6 MHz band) (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** SOLOMON ISLANDS. Another slight correxion: close-down time 1158:42* not 
1159:42*, Viz.: 

5020, Oct 14, I awaken at 1157, so hasten to this frequency almost buried in 
splash from Rebelde 5025 music. The JBA carrier does cut off at 1158:42* in 
keeping with SIBC normal practice (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. WORLD OF RADIO 1794 monitoring: confirmed Wed Oct 14 at 2100 on WBCQ 
7490: first checked webcast, but fairly good signal later on 7490 --- this 
should steadily improve westward with earlier sunsets, and get a good boost 
from Nov with shift to one UT hour later, 2200. 

EXCEPT! Per HFCC B-15, there will yet again be a collision with BBCWS in 
English via THAILAND from 2200 on 7490, 250 kW at 25 degrees aimed right across 
North America along the grayline! Frequency ``coördination`` fails again 
because people who don`t actually try to LISTEN, can`t imagine this would be a 
problem. At the very least there will be a het with WBCQ off-frequency.

** U S A. 7489.92-AM, Oct 15 at 0134, I`m checking WBCQ on the second week of 
the revived `Hal Turner`, scheduled UT Thursdays 01-03. He`s telling his story 
of unjust incarceration, which I don`t intend to get into in detail, and of 
course this is all from his side only. Says the FBI paid him $3,000 in 2005 to 
utter that federal judges ``deserved to be killed`` on two national TV shows. 
Fine, but in 2009 he was betrayed, arrested, tried three times and finally 
convicted (not sure I have those years right). Making him ``the first talk host 
to be jailed for exercising free speech``.

Meanwhile, as promised, on this night only, Brother Scare is demoted from 7490v 
to 5109.7-CUSB (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** U S A. 9330.09-CUSB, UT Thursday Oct 15 at 0128, I`m checking the new show 
on WBCQ which started last week, coincidentally competing with the explosive 
Hal Turner on the other WBCQ frequency. Started at 0100 but as I tune in, 
identifying as from Joy Mennonite Church, 504 NE 16 St, Oklahoma City, phone 
1-800-999-3534, a.k.a. Faith and Values Media. At tune in, was only S7, much 
weaker than 7490, but by 0130 increases to S9+20. 

0130 introduces with rendition of ``Praise God from whom all blessings 
[allegedly] flow`` and ``Episode 4 of Mennonite Radio``. Lest you think they 
are retro, followed by robotic voice saying that James has a cold, but then 
human voices, including James? Trouble is, now there`s a mixture at almost 
equal level with tango songs in Spanish, sounds like Gardel. At first I think 
it`s meant to be background for some strange reason, but continues distracting 
and QRMing past 0137. Check LSB and neither audio is there, both on USB only. 

Church website http://joymennonite.org/ plugs the SW broadcast and refers to 
http://www.mennoniteradio.org
 
This has downloads and summaries of the first four episodes, i.e. two per week 
starting UT October 8. Guess what, the tango music is not accidental, but the 
mixing was just a bit too loud:

``Tango with Torah – a regular segment by James & Becky Branum, a married 
couple who verbally tangos [sic] with each other and this week’s Torah portion 
that would be traditionally be [sic] read in Jewish synagogues (background 
music by [sic – fill in the blank?]) – This week’s portion is Parsha Noach 
(Genesis 6:9-11:32)``

Carlos Gardel tango is in fact mentioned with Episode #1. I don`t see anything 
about the other program they were supposedly airing, `Broad Spectrum Radio`. 
``In the future we will also be sending out QSL cards to listeners who send us 
QSL reports.`` Following further linx about SW radio, we come to this:
