be apparent as it prints out on your display. This transmission

This is VOA Radiogram on the Voice of America. I'm Kim Elliott in

Washington.

 

 

Before VOA Radiogram occupied all of my spare time, another

project, www.kimandrewelliott.com, occupied all of my spare time.

This website aggregated news about international broadcasting,

with occasional comments and analyses of my own.

 

Because of requests that I resume kimandrewelliott.com, I will

attempt to find time for it _and_ for VOA Radiogram by

incorporating selected news from the website into this program. 

 

The first news item from kimandrewelliott.com is in plain text.

In the plain text items, a shortened URL below the headline

provides a link to the post at kimadrewelliott.com. The post                                 <====  missing "n" in LSB & USB.......     ;-)

contains links to each news story.

 

 

 

 

 

Al Jazeera says its satellite signals are jammed from Egypt.

 

j.mp/1fR6kPy

 

The Guardian, 3 Sept 2013, Lisa O'Carroll: "The source of jamming

of al-Jazeera's Egyptian TV service is outside Cairo, according

to a company that investigates interference with satellite

signals. Bruno Dupas, president of Integral Systems, said his

company was able to geo-locate the origin of the interference

which al-Jazeera says it has been suffering on a daily basis

since 3 July when Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi was deposed.

... Al-Jazeera, which commissioned the investigation, said the

locations Integral provided are close to Egyptian military sites,

leading it to believe the jamming was carried out by the Egyptian

government."

 

Gulf Times (Doha), 6 Sept 2013: "'The Al Jazeera Network condemns

the jamming of its operations and stresses that any attempt to

disturb the broadcast will not affect the network’s quest to

report facts and bring truth to viewers,' [a] statement said. 'In

reaction to this clear violation of broadcasting rights, Al

Jazeera has decided to take legal advice and action against those

who are responsible for the jamming of the signal.'"

 

Al Jazeera English, 4 Sept 2013: "The Qatar-based broadcaster has

been forced to change frequencies several times to allow viewers

to continue to watch the network's news and sport channels."

 

Egypt Independent, 7 Sept 2013, translating Al-Masry Al-Youm:

"Qatar will maneuver around the Egyptian government’s shutdown of

Al-Jazeera, media experts say, by launching its first satellite

'Suhail 1' in a bid to reaffirm its place in Arab media. ... [A]

source expressed fear of the consequences of the ruling which

ordered Al-Jazeera channels be banned on Nilesat. The source said

Al-Jazeera, which monopolizes all international and continental

sporting events, will move to Suhail 1, taking all football and

sports audience."

BBC's Japanese service is BBC World News translated into Japanese

 

j.mp/1ax4wOs

 

BBC World News press release, 2 Sept 2013: "Starting today, Yuji

Watanabe will join BBC World News Japan as Managing Director,

heading up the BBC’s new business in Japan. His priorities as

Managing Director will be exploring new business opportunities

for the channel, expanding existing platforms and building the

profile of BBC World News with Japanese audiences. BBC World News

has been available to Japanese audiences since 1994 and Japan

continues to be a key market for the channel’s international

business strategy. It is currently the only territory in which

the BBC translates its English-language content into the national

language." [BBC World News is a 24-hour global English television

news channel.]

 

 

Daventry, England, honors its BBC World Service history in a

roundabout way.

 

j.mp/17Rf5UB

 

Daventry Express, 25 Aug 2013: "The final design for a piece of

artwork at one of the gateways to the [Daventry] town centre has

been voted for by the public. 'Daventry Calling' was the winning

piece, representing the town’s broadcasting heritage with

symbolic masts radiating words to the world. The artwork will go

on the roundabout at the junction of Abbey Street and South Way

and has been paid for by the developers of the nearby Abbey

Retail Park... . The BBC World Service was originally broadcast

from Borough Hill using the radio call sign of 'Daventry Calling'

making the town’s name well-known across the world. In 1935, this

radio station was used for the first-ever practical demonstration

of radar. The sculpture will stand at around 7 metres high and

will consist of five 'masts' with a laser-cut 'radio wave' text

ring." [Of course, in the 1930s, it was the BBC Empire Service.

"World Service" came decades later.]

Deal brings CNN to former Yugoslavia and maybe to its languages.

 

j.mp/15T6ujQ

 

Digital TV Europe, 5 Sept 2013: "Turner Broadcasting has signed a

broadcast affiliate agreement with N1, a new channel for the

Adria region. Under the agreement, N1 will be the exclusive news

channel affiliate of CNN in the region, joining CNN’s extensive

global network of affiliate channels. The deal gives N1 exclusive

access to video and newsgathering resources from CNN

International including live breaking news, news stories and

programming, for transmission in Serbia, Croatia and Bosnia and

Herzegovina. N1 also will also have the option of translating

selected CNN programming and news into localised languages for

the first time in the region. N1 will give CNN access to its own

reporting from the Adria region, which will be gathered by teams

based in its Belgrade headquarters and in regional hubs including

Sarajevo and Zagreb."

 

followthemedia.com, 10 Sept 2013, Michael Hedges: Kanal N1 "is

already seen competing with Al-Jazeera Balkans, which was

launched in Sarajevo in November 2011."
