LAOS Lao National Radio - updated information. There's a bunch of links
on Lao National Radio's web page
under which you can find information on Lao regional broadcasting. Here
are some bits of information on unlisted and upgraded stations:
Khammouane Provincial Radio Station was established in 1996 and broadcasts
on 765 kHz using a 10 kW transmitter donated by China.
Luang Prabang Radio Station recently acquired a 10 kW AM transmitter from
the USA, and now broadcasts across the entire province on 705 kHz.
Oudomxai Provincial Radio and Television Station was completely rebuilt in
1993 and today it's broadcasting on 102 MHz FM using a 100W TSD
transmitter donated by China and on 705 kHz AM using a 1 kW transmitter
donated by China.
Vientiane Capital Radio and Television Station has had two second-hand
transmitters that have been donated by Lao National Radio - a 50 kW
transmitter which broke down and could not be repaired due to lack of
spare parts, and most recently a 10 kW transmitter which is still
operating. Today Vientiane Capital Radio and Television Station broadcasts
for 10 hours each day on 640 kHz.
