It was broadcasting on 92.9 MHz from Budapest: its license was not renewed by NMHH (National Media and Telecommunications Authority) because the station had not communicated in time the contents of its programming. But the station's director, András Arató, defied Viktor Mihály Orbán's government by continuing online broadcasting and airing the official anthem of the European Union, a piece from the final movement of the Ninth Symphony composed in 1824 by Ludwig van Beethoven, also called the Ode to Joy, which the EU has adopted since 1972. The EU, through a spokesman, asked Hungary to allow Klubrádió to continue broadcasting on FM. (https://blog.radioreporter.org/) * Latvia. ---------- Scandal on Latvian Radio - the oldest announcer was fired. "Why was the legendary announcer fired from his job?" - Latvijas Avīze calls Sandra Glazupa, who has worked on the state broadcasting for 42 years, "a radio voice". "She is undoubtedly the brightest representative of the voice-over school these days. It was in her voice that the voice of Tilde has already begun to speak, and in the future more and more information, most likely, we will receive in the performance of these virtual assistants ". "The Covid-19 epidemic came like a stopcock. For the second time in the last decade, someone with a stable job may be happy. And it's very good if you feel like a fish in water on this, in good relations with colleagues and a reputation as an expert in your field. " The announcer was awarded the Order of the Three Stars. But, as "Sandra says a little reluctantly," "It was decided that the news of the First Radio Program would sound both on Radio Classic, Radio 2, and Radio 5 at the same time. Thus, two young men from Radio 5 would be left without work. Most likely, at the same time, they began to look at which of the many years I can say thanks for the work, and I turned out to be such. The presentation of this, on the one hand, was not pleasant for me and I was very upset. In my opinion, the management of the radio, making such a choice, did not even know who I was and what I was doing here at all. I was called to the personnel department, and I had to express this unpleasant decision to his manager. On the other hand, she herself decided that I would end my active working life that spring or summer. It didn't turn out as smoothly as I would have liked, but also not as scary. And, frankly, I'm happy that I don't have to get up at four in the morning and come home tired, physically and spiritually exhausted at midnight.

The 15-minute BBC English by Radio broadcasts were very high quality and popular. The topics of these lessons were very diverse - from fairy tales to everyday and industrial plots with musical and noise accompaniment (sounds of footsteps, knocking on the door, vehicles, crowds of people, etc.). These were mini- performances performed by professional actors with explanations from speakers with perfect pronunciation. These training programs have been part of the BBC's broadcasts in many languages. English by Radio with explanations in Russian went on the air before the start of news and other headings, and these lessons were not jammed in those days when many foreign radio stations were jammed in the USSR. The Voice of America in the same post-war years broadcast programs for English learners called Special English. They consisted of news and thematic headings about US history, science, and others. They used a limited vocabulary of about 1500 words and a slow speech rate of the announcers. There were also versions of these programs on the air with explanations in some languages, incl. in Russian. Nowadays, these language lessons have mostly moved to the Internet, but some remain on the air. GA and BBC broadcast them on SW and MW for residents of Asia and Africa who do not have access to the Internet. I was able to collect information about these broadcasts from the sites of these broadcasters, the AOKI, EiBi and AM List databases, British DX Club, Pacific Asian Log publications, and my own observations in February 2021 using OpenWebRx home equipment and remote receivers. A few years ago, 30-minute GA programs for English learners were renamed Learning English, and similar but shorter BBC programs were renamed BBC Learning English. The following are the broadcast schedules for the B20 broadcast season.

Japanese radio station NHK Radio 2 broadcasts lessons in English and a number of other languages of its own production. They are only broadcast on the MW and FM bands, so their reception outside of Japan is very limited. These are the surviving remnants of the old luxury. But recently, something new has appeared. And it came from a rather unexpected side - from China. China Radio International's English service broadcasts its daily 25-minute program under the unforgettable title: Special English. It is diverse in topics and is read by speakers at a slow pace with a limited set of words, as GA has done and is doing now. CRI Program Guide published in English 2020-11-16: chinaplus.cri.cn/radio/program-schedule/377249. It states that Special English is broadcast daily at 0430-0455 and 1430-1455 UTC, but this is somewhat outdated information. My observations in February 2021 gave this schedule of these daily broadcasts: Special English from China Radio International lang. -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------- UTC Days kHz -------------------------------------------------- ------------------------- 0430-0455 1-7 13570, 13590, 15120, 17730, 17855 0630-0655 1-7 11870, 11895, 15350, 15210, 15350, 15430, 15465, 17510, 17710 0830-0855 1-7 9415, 11895, 15185, 15350, 15465, 17490, 17670 Apparently, the PRC wants to facilitate the participation of its citizens in international business and tourism. Indeed, in these areas and not only English has become the most common means of communication with foreigners in many countries. There is very little information on the Internet about programs for English learners and it is not always reliable. Therefore, it is possible that there are other broadcasts on the air, besides the above. (Yuvalo, Russia / "deneb-radio-dx") 73!
