This date coincides with the clocks changing to summer or daylight savings time across most of Europe. However in North America the clock change to DST takes place two weeks earlier on 12th March, so programming on some of the US shortwave stations may move one hour earlier from 12th March.

How interesting. While with the HF news disappear, they come to fast food reviewers. I now do not exaggerate. It is useful to google what VORW is and how it stands for. Gugel brought me to SWLing.com: Http://swling.com/blog/2016/06/vorw-radio-international-broadcast-this-week/ ... that - on the YouTube channel TheReportOfTheWeek (that's it, Voice Of RW): Https://www.youtube.com/user/TheReportOfTheWeek/about ... and that - on the page in Google+, almost completely repeats Youtube: Https://plus.google.com/104574401144569115294 The description on Youtube states that "here you will find reviews of fast food, energy drinks, as well as casual videos and conversational shows." Well, the channel's content from fast food, sobsno, and consists, slightly more than completely. I do not have a firm opinion whether it's good or bad, right now I can come up with a lot of arguments for myself and for myself. But if the fast food columnist is able to buy time on the transmitter, then all the allegedly "financial" considerations of the major broadcasters who have left the KV begin to look pale.

Http://www.radio.ru/arhiv/2017/3.shtml In free access. In Russian. * Program From the Isle of Music ---------------------------------------------- Dear listeners,  We are pleased to inform you that as a result of successful tests, as of April 2, we will begin regularly broadcasting our program From the Isle of Music via Spaceline, Kostinbrod, Bulgaria, every Sunday from 1500-1600 UTC on 9400 KHz. We believe that this will greatly improve listening options throughout Europe but especially for our many Eastern European listeners.  Our WBCQ broadcast will continue at the same time, and we will move a Channel 292 broadcast to a nighttime transmission.  From the Isle of Music is unique outside of Cuba in that I regularly interview Cuban musicians about their projects, attend Cuban music seminars and other events,  and present almost all genres of Cuban music.  Over time, you will hear the best of everything that is happening there from Concert Music to Jazz to Timba/Salsa to Electronica.  If you are associated with a DX blog or publication and would like more details, I would be happy to provide them.  73,  Bill Tilford COUNTRY INFORMATION. ==========================   RUSSIA ======== Volgogradskaya oblast.

The site also now hosts live streaming of its Radio Pobeda [Victory] FM service, which broadcasts on 106.9 MHz in the region.  It was noted that although some online time websites state that Lugansk uses Kiev standard time (currently UT +2 hours) Radio Pobeda's time checks actually indicate UT +3 hours (i.e. Moscow time).

DX LISTENING DIGEST 17-09, March 1, 2017 Incorporating REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING edited by Glenn Hauser, USA ------------------------------------------ ** ABKHAZIA. Apparently Sukhumi increased the duration of their broadcasts on MW 1350 kHz and now they heard this: Tue-Fri 0400-0800, Sat-Mon 0500-0800 (Maybe later, it is not accepted [heard]), every day 1500-1750 (with 1750 changes every day +/- 10 minutes). News in Russian are Monday to (already!) Sat from 0530 till 0543 and from Monday to Friday from 1508 to 1518, and on Sundays there is a thematic program 6 and 15 hours. Hour 1750 apparently agreed with TWR programs in Kurdish 18 hours on 1350 kHz. According to my observation over the years the transmitter (like the one that was on the SW 9535/9510/9495 kHz) is not in Abkhazia (Rumen Pankov, Sofia, Bulgaria, RusDX 26 Feb via DXLD) ** AZERBAIJAN / ARMENIA.

These transmissions do not already exist. Most likely with about 0810 to about 1410 each day passes the "Voice Talishistan" - the same speakers, burning in the same style and with such pseudo-modulation, as well as at the Edaletin Ceci / Voice of Justice, and probably someone inspired (or is it?) the station is now called "Iktimal Radio" (translated from the language azerskogo [Azeri] - this Public Radio / Public Radio Azeerbaydzhana let someone could compare the 9677 kHz with the Public Radio Azerbaydzhana online and tell what the correct name of the station (Rumen Pankov, Sofia, Bulgaria, RusDX 26 Feb via DXLD) ** CRIMEA.

Officially launched in Prague this month, the "Current Time" channel targets an audience of more than 270 million people, mostly in the former Soviet area, with news and views that provide an alternative to the Kremlin's version of reality as channelled through state- controlled media. The new channel's launch comes as relations between Moscow and the West have hit their lowest point since the Cold War, triggered by Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea from Ukraine and its military campaign in Syria a year later. Suspicions also linger in the West about the extent to which the Kremlin may be using the internet and other means to spread fake news that could boost the popularity of pro-Russian politicians, thereby destabilising NATO and the European Union. Moscow has been quick to denounce the new channel, with prominent Kremlin-appointed talk show host Dmitry Kiselyov -- known as Russia's chief spin doctor -- labelling it a scam. It's "mostly money laundering under the guise of fighting Russian propaganda," he said on Russian state TV last week, without elaborating or offering any proof of fraud. RFE/RL, which reaches 23 countries in 26 languages, has launched the venture jointly with the Washington-based Voice of America. As the official US international broadcaster, VOA targets more than 236 million people a week in more than 45 languages. - 'Need for objective news' - For decades, the stations fought a key ideological battle for the West during the Cold War. AFP/File / STF Prague residents listen to the radio for news during the Prague Spring before the short-lived period of greater freedom was brutally crushed by a Soviet invasion in August 1968 [caption] Banned across the communist bloc, the stations regularly had their signal jammed by various regimes, but people behind the Iron Curtain still managed to listen in secret to broadcasts that inspired them to oppose totalitarian rule. Current Time executive editor Kenan Aliyev told AFP the new station, known as Nastoyashcheye Vremya in Russian, has similar aims to win viewers in Vladimir Putin's Russia. "Our ambition is to gain the audience in this important region which has lately been bombarded by a lot of disinformation, lies and propaganda," he said. "We feel there is a need for objective news and we will try to provide this type of service to our audience." Current Time programming ranges from breaking news to business, documentaries and even cooking shows. Coverage of issues like poverty, corruption and healthcare also features prominently. Some programmes focus specifically on the Baltic states, Moldova and Ukraine, all under Moscow's thumb during Soviet times and now home to significant ethnic Russian populations. The station broadcasts via satellite, cable and the internet from Prague, where RFE/RL has been based since its 1995 move from Munich. "Most importantly, we do social media and digital coverage for audiences that are particularly hard to reach, like those in Russia," Current Time director Daisy Sindelar told AFP. - Riga: a hub for independent media - Conceived during the administration of former US president Barack Obama who took a firm line against Moscow over Crimea, the station officially launched its around-the-clock broadcasts under US President Donald Trump, known for his seemingly pro-Moscow stance. AFP/File / ILMARS ZNOTINS Riga has become a hub for independent Russian media who have trouble operating in Russia itself [caption] RFE/RL President Thomas Kent says that while the US Congress has approved funding for "decades", he told AFP that possible federal cost-cutting under the billionaire reality TV star-turned-president could affect programming. Current Time's operating budget for this year is $10 million (9.5 million euros). "We hope that the uniqueness of what we do will help preserve our funding," Kent told AFP. Similar channels that operate free of Kremlin control include the BBC's Russian language service, which is setting up a new bureau in Riga, the Latvian capital. Ethnic Russians make up a quarter of Latvia's population of two million people. Authorities in Riga are concerned Moscow is trying to target the country's largest minority with propaganda designed to destabilise the Baltic NATO and EU state. Last April, Latvia banned broadcasts by the Russian-language Rossiya RTR TV channel for six months, claiming it had incited hatred and made anti-Ukrainian statements. Latvian state broadcaster LTV has a Russian-language TV and radio station as well as a news website to draw ethnic Russians away from almost exclusively pro-Kremlin media beamed in from Russia. Riga has also recently become a hub for independent Russian media who have trouble operating in Russia itself, including the Meduza website run by former journalists from the Russian news site Lenta.ru. Estonia's public broadcaster ERR has also created three Russian-language media outlets. According to a 2016 TNS Emor poll, the stations, including ETV, ETV2 and ETV+, captured an audience of around 20 percent of ethnic Russians who account for a quarter of Estonia's 1.3 million people. 28 Feb 2017 (via Mike Cooper, DXLD) ** RUSSIA [non]. REVOLUTION-100: BBC RUSSIAN CONNECTS WITH EVENTS OF 1917 28 February 2017. From Monday 6 March, the Revolution-100 season of content on BBC Russian will connect audiences with the events of 1917 that led to the seizure of power by Bolsheviks and the birth of the Soviet Russia. BBC Russian takes a new look at the crucial episodes between the two Russian revolutions - in February and October 1917 - often challenging conventional knowledge. Through documentaries, animation, infographics, picture galleries and stories on bbcrussian.com, TV, and via digital and mobile platforms, BBC Russian connects the events of 1917 with the world of today. Between March and November 2017, Revolution-100 will feature a wide range of content including: -        A four-part video series, The Train from Zurich to the Revolution, tracing Lenin’s train journey from Zurich to Petrograd, which put him in the centre of the struggle for power in the Russian capital. Starring the popular Russian actor, Mikhail Yefremov, the documentary asks why Germany had facilitated that momentous journey.  -        A special video feature filmed at the Russian Duma, re- enacting the drama of the political struggle of 100 years ago. The country’s budding legislative organ of the time - set up to establish democratic governance in Russia - was soon obliterated by the Bolsheviks. -        Research into the economic situation in the country as the February Revolution was largely triggered by bread riots and strikes in Petrograd - asking what an average worker could buy and if hunger was really widespread. -        Research into the social layout of the country whose monarch abdicated after centuries of absolute rule.  -        Letters from the frontline: a personalised look at the role of the First World War in the disaffection that brought the soldiers - and their families - into the ranks of the protesters. -        Faces of the revolution: portraits of seven key members of the Provisional Government – Mikhail Rodzyanko, Alexandr Protopopov, Pavel Milyukov, Vasiliy Shulgin, Prince Georgiy Lvov, Generals Nikolai Ruzsky and Mikhail Alekseev. -        The world press reaction to the revolution as it unfolded. -        The story of three brothers from Nizhniy Novgorod, whose different political choices and resulting lives reflect the trials and tribulations of 20th century Russians. Throughout the season, BBC Russian will report the centenary of the Russian revolution as it is reflected in Britain’s cultural scene. BBC Russian brings global stories to the Russian-speaking audience and puts Russian and regional stories in a global context.  The website bbcrussian.com offers a rich content of international and national news and analysis, video news bulletins and pieces, live and on-demand audio, interactivity and reports. BBC Russian connects with its audiences via Facebook, VKontakte, Instagram, Twitter, Telegram, YouTube and Google+.  BBC Russian TV news bulletins broadcast on Dozhd TV in Russia Monday to Friday and are available on bbcrussian.com.

Radio Ukraine International: Stalled on WRMI? While reviewing my recording of WRMI on 11580 kHz taken on 26/27 February 2017, I thought that Radio Ukraine International's program sounded awfully familiar. It turns out it was the same as the one broadcast on 30 January 2017 (UT). I don't listen to RUI every day so don't know if WRMI is continuously airing an old program or for how long this has been going on (Richard Langley, March 1, dxldyg via DX LISTENING DIGEST) Which time?? Cf. my previous obs that a week-old program was airing at 1330 since a new audio file had not overwritten the last one, and a different file name for each day of the week (Glenn Hauser, ibid.) As per my listing in message 95145: 'WRMI on 11580 kHz Sunday Night (29-30 January)"; this would be for the 0200 UT broadcast (Richard Langley, ibid.)   Checked March 1 on the server for System D: ``Current`` RUI file upload dates are: Wed 12/14/2016 Thu  2/24/2017 Fri  2/24/2017 Sat  7/2/2016!

So, does this mean that on multiple days of the week, ancient editions of the program are being repeatedly aired? Does Radio Ukraine International know? Or care? Has Jeff White alerted them? (Richard Langley, ibid.) Programmers are supposed to be responsible for assuring the latest files are uploaded, and properly named, for automatic playout (Glenn Hauser, DXLD) see also CRIMEA ** UZBEKISTAN. 5855, Feb 23 at 1354, conversation in unknown language, S7-S9, and by now 5850 WRMIBS about to sign off is weak enough not to ACI it.
