Shortwave changes in East and South-East Asia
BBC World Service shortwave transmissions to East and South-East Asia will
be reduced on 30th March 2008.
Many listeners around the world no longer listen via shortwave and are
choosing instead to listen to radio on other platforms including FM,
satellite and online.
To ensure the BBC can invest in these and other platforms it is necessary
to reduce shortwave provision, while keeping our programmes available at
the key listening times for radio - in the morning and the evening.
Shortwave transmission will therefore cease between 10am and 5pm local
time and midnight and 2 am local time.
For details on BBC programme times where you are, please follow the link

terrestrial FM nor on cable. And so far haven't found the courage to set
up an ugly satellite dish at my flat (probably one is only allowed to set
it up where it does not spoil the facade). To my understanding, the true
aim is to transfer the cost to the listener (energy for a computer, money
for new equipment).
Does anyone on this mailing list has estimated energy consumption for
internet broadcasting? My estimate goes as follows: Shortwave for Europe:
500 kW transmitting power plus negligible power consumed by transistor
receivers, makes a total of 500 kW. Internet: 0 W transmitting power plus
5000 listeners times 100 W for each PC gives a total of: 500 kW. Probably
there are even more than 5000 listeners at a time. Conclusion: total
