\"BBCSWOverToYou\"<\/a>In the latest episode of Over To You<\/em><\/a>, host\u00a0Rajan Datar discusses how\u00a0the BBC World Service’s shortwave transmissions are being affected by jamming in parts of Asia. It’s a short but informative episode.<\/p>\n

Even Datar and his guest, Nigel Fry (Head of Distribution for BBC Global News), could appreciate the irony that while China is investing a substantial number of resources in jamming BBC WS English broadcasts<\/a>, the BBC World Service is\u00a0voluntarily\u00a0trimming their English offerings<\/a> anyway. What a gift to those in China trying to control access to the global press!<\/p>\n

Over To You explores the way that the World Service’s shortwave transmissions are being affected by jamming in parts of Asia, following up from an email from a listener in West Bengal who was having problems listening to the service. With the help of the World Service’s head of business development, we find out how jamming of the World Service shortwave transmissions inside China is spilling over into neighbouring countries, and explore what the BBC can do to redress the situation through international organisations.<\/p>\n
