BBC’S Emergency Radio Service

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Carlos Latuff, who writes:

Despite the BBC announcing the end of its regular Arabic broadcasts in January 2023…

…the British broadcaster created, in May and November of the same year, an extraordinary service that transmits programming in Arabic to Gaza and Sudan.This is the BBC’s “emergency radio service,”…

…broadcasting Monday to Friday on 15280 kHz, a frequency that is not listed in the official BBC schedule…


…but is mentioned on the short-wave.info website and the shortwave.am app.


And here’s the illustrated radio listening report of one of those transmissions.
