Radio Exterior de España will return to shortwave

A bit hat tip to SWLing Post contributor, London Shortwave who sent a link to this article from the Spanish news site prtelevisión [click here for English translation].

According to prtelevisión and this article from La Opinión A Coruña [English translation], yesterday morning, the Board of Directors of RTVE approved a proposal to broadcast on shortwave four hours a day: from Monday to Friday (between 20:00 and 24:00 hours) and Saturday/Sunday between 16:00 and 24:00.

The following broadcasts will air:”24 Horas”, “Radiogaceta de los deportes“, “Españoles en la Mar” and “Cinco Continentes“. In addition, REE plans to cover sporting events.

It appears that the fisheries industry is to thank for this decision to bring REE back on shortwave as ships had no viable means to listen to REE while at sea. According to these sources, shortwave broadcasts will re-start in the near future.

Readers: please comment when you hear REE back on the air.

(Hollywood, FL) November 7, 2014 –

Global 24 is pleased to announce that Radio Cairo will be joining our lineup of international relays.

According to Phil Workman, general manager of Global 24, “Radio Cairo brings a very different feel to Global 24. We want an international perspective and Radio Cairo will give our lineup a very different sound. We think shortwave listeners will enjoy hearing Radio Cairo with a little more ease on a regular basis.”

Global 24 notes that more information will follow in the coming days.

The independent broadcaster Radio Tamazuj has launched a new shortwave frequency to help expand its listenership in South Sudan.

Broadcasting daily in colloquial Arabic from 7:00-7:30 a.m. and 6:00-6:30 p.m., Radio Tamazuj focuses on providing listeners with uncensored news and information.

At its inception in 2011, the broadcaster initially targeted only northern parts of South Sudan and bordering areas of Sudan – the mixing or ‘tamazuj’ zones between the two countries – though broadcasts could be heard with varying signal strength across much of South Sudan.

The new frequency will improve reception for listeners in southern South Sudan, including the Equatorias, and for South Sudanese refugees in the neighboring areas of Gambella in western Ethiopia, northern Uganda and northwestern Kenya.

Morning frequencies are 15550 on the 19 meter band, 11940 on the 25 meter band, and 7315 on the 41 meter band. Evening frequencies are 15550 and 15400 on the 19 meter band and 13800 on the 22 meter band.
