\"\"<\/a>Many thanks to a number of SWLing Post<\/em> contributors who have reached out about a report on AWR Wavescan regarding the closure of the BBC Kranji relay station in Singapore.<\/p>\n

I contacted AWR Wavescan<\/a> host, Jeff White at WRMI<\/a>, and asked for any details he might have since I could not locate any press release from the BBC or Encompass.<\/p>\n

Jeff shared the following notice from AWR Wavescan:<\/p>\n

Another shortwave station is about to go off the air for good also. Encompass TV reports that the BBC relay station that Encompass operates in Kranji Singapore will cease operation as of July 16th, after many decades of service. This will result in a reduction of BBC English transmissions to South Asia. Some transmissions from Kranji will be moved to other shortwave transmitter sites.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Many thanks for the info, Jeff.<\/p>\n

We’ll post more details about the closure as they become available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
