** AUSTRALIA [and non]. 6150, May 24 at 1240, R. Australia with classical piano music instead of usual programming; except for WTWW 5830, it`s the SSOB, well atop RHC Spanish collision until 1300*. Before then I hear the same music // on other RA frequencies, 9475, 11945, 12065; 1254 announced as Beethoven`s Op 2, No 2 played by Arrau, time 5<11 on ``ABC Classic FM``, then choral piece; 1300 no RA IS or theme, or even news, but switch to `Jazz Up Late`. Announcer mentioned several platforms but NOT RA or SW! Not even aware of his suddenly acquired worldwide audience? Starts with music from a festival sponsored by WKCR in NY. At 1313 I find this also replaces RA Chinese on 11665 (now clashing with Malaysia), and clear but delayed at 1338 check via PALAU on 9965, so presumably also on 9475 now blocked by 9479 WTWW.

I was checking this because on May 22 and 23 at *1259, Ron Howard had been hearing R. Australia announce this on 11665: "Radio Australia programs will not be broadcast for several hours from 10:30

China jockeys for radio control

Jaisakthivel — 2013-05-24T06:00:00

The Ladakh incursion may be recent, but the Middle Kingdom has been making quiet inroads into the Indian mindspace for a long time. After securing a large Indian footprint with powerful cross-border radio broadcasts and a vernacular bonanza via shortwave, China is all set to pump the volume.

The external service of China Radio International (CRI) beams content in Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, Tamil and other Indian languages and is believed to be beefing up the portfolio. The station is planning to add Gujarati, Punjabi and Malayalam to its external service menu soon, official sources told FE. CRI is also believed to be planning to set up a local office, subject to government approval, to meet its expansion plans.
Such ‘legal’ shortwave broadcasts come on top of China-backed radio stations in Nepal beaming programmes in Hindi dialects, reaching up to 100 km across the border into the villages of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
The northern neighbour’s experiments in moulding public opinion across the border have

Global Radio told to sell stations

Jaisakthivel — 2013-05-24T05:55:27

The Competition Commission has told Global Radio it must stations in seven UK regions. Photograph: Linda Nylind for the Guardian
Global Radio, owner of network radio brands including Capital, Heart and Real, must sell stations in seven areas of the UK to appease the competition regulator's concerns over its £70m acquisition of GMG Radio.

The UK's largest radio operator has been told by the Competition Commission that it must sell some of GMG Radio's Real and Smooth stations, or its own services such as Heart and Capital, in seven areas: the East Midlands, Cardiff, North Wales, Greater Manchester and the north-west, the north-east, central Scotland, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire. The competition regulator cleared the deal in London and the West Midlands.
However, the Competition Commission said it would allow Global to do deals to potentially license its radio brands to whoever buys the stations it must sell off.
Tuesday's final Competition Commission ruling is a blow for Global Radio, which had offer

16920, very poor at 1358; none in 17s, almost deadband except weak Kashgar, Habana (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** COLOMBIA. 14960, the single log of Salem Stereo from the UK in April has yet to be confirmed by any other reports of it, and never anything heard here at random chex. I might ask the pastor-in-charge but he never replied to my inquiry when it disappeared last September; busted? (Glenn Hauser, May 23, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

** CUBA. 5040, 6000 and 6165, May 23 at 0058, RHC all in open carrier/dead air, which is understandable on the 6`s prior to English from 0100, but 5040 should have been going from French to Spanish.

15180-15330 approx., May 23 at 0258, extent of the big buzz spewing out of the RHC 15230 transmitter, gradually weakening out to the edges.

Most FM and some AM stations simulcasting one TV station or another

1140 KRMP
1340 KGHM

Regular programming now (if not earlier):
800 KQCV
890 KTLR
930 WKY

Did not check all the FMs for absences, not too familiar with transmitter sites, but 92.5 KOMA and 107.7 KRXO are on.
