HOME presents... SELECTED ENGLISH LANGUAGE DX\SWL\MEDIA PROGRAMS ON SHORTWAVE Plus a few selected Mailbags and other goodies! May 19, 2013 Compiled by Glenn Hauser NOW fully updated for the A-13 season with time and frequency changes. Updates and correxions from users and userettes are always welcome. Dates for 2-weekly broadcasts (Turkey, New Zealand) are projected, and may be disrupted by holidays. Confirmations of appearances or non-appearances are welcome. DXing with Cumbre listings had been eliminated due to imaginary WHR website schedules; if anyone really hears it on SW, let us know. For B-12 a few times confirmed by monitoring have been entered. From this page, enter Marie Lamb in Program Host field to bring up all the alleged times, many of which are probably really only on webcast, not SW. These times have not all been reconfirmed following DST shifts. NOTE: since January, new DWC programs have been appearing about every two weeks, not weekly, altho previous week`s show may be repeated. If you see some strange Havana frequencies here: we include confirmed and pervasive mixing products: reality. On Feb 15, 2013, WRMI suddenly began broadcasting Brother Scare on an extensive schedule, contract until May 31, which bumped many of the WORLD OF RADIO and other DX program broadcasts. Remaining airings below. Many broadcasts on WRMI 9955 are jammed by Cuba. Please direct complaints to Arnie Coro Nevertheless, we include his program and try to keep up with changes. NHK Japan: in May 2012 added MEDIA WATCH on Saturdays. Usually appears on 3rd Sat, but in June announced it would appear on 23rd = 4th of 5 Sats; i.e., 2nd-to-last Sat, confirmed by Alan Roe. Radio Australia: in August added MEDIA REPORT, three airings on Mondays, 1230 best for most of us in N America.
