Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Alan Roe, who writes:
The BBC World Service “six-month” schedules now seem to have been deleted permanently from the BBCWS website. I have therefore produced my own “at-a-glance” schedule listing the BBC WS English programmes on shortwave, which I have now updated to version 1.3.

This is a wonderful quick reference sheet, Alan. Thank you so much for stepping up and making it available to the community!
Thank you for this and everything else for the SWL community.
Thank you for the valuable information you provide.
Thank you Tom
Of course, that’s just the schedule of BBC WS programs on SHORTWAVE. The BBC WS operates 24×7 and is relayed by satellite and Internet for the many FM transmitters around the world that have been set up to carry it in various world capitals. The webstream address (for mp3 players, NOT browsers) is:

Thank you Alan for providing us with this much appreciated compilation.
Thank you Roger
Yes – I have only listed BBC WS on Shortwave. In addition to the internet, satellite and FM transmissions you mention, there is also the overnight (in UK) service on 198 kHz where BBC WS is carried.
Alan,
They used to transmit an hour a day of DRM from Singapore until it was moved to Uzbekistan. The target was India which has high powered DRM in both MF and HF bands. Are they transmitting any DRM in Uzbekistan)? It is now probably too far away for me to receive it.
There is an hour a day DRM service listed from Woofferton targetting South Asia at 1500 UTC Monday to Friday on 21540 kHz. I’ve not heard it myself though.
