Hello Folks,

The following information was recently radiated on the amateur
radio packet network by Gordon, VK2XY, I hope you find it of interest,
even if you are not Australian!

--------------------------

APRIL 1996 S.W.L. UPDATE.

All transmissions are in English and for Australia and New
Zealand except where stated, and in accord with current frequency guides
distributed by the station, which because of a time delay may not be be
up to date .
.....................................

B.B.C. WORLD SERVICE ( From April 1996 )

The World Service has gone " Splitstream " meaning that transmission
schedules are targeted to areas viz Europe - Africa - South Asia-
Asia Pacific- Americas so that programmes are broadcast at the most
appropiate and convenient local times for listeners in each of the
areas .

In October 96 it is expected that the Beeb will split the
World Service into two very different radio channels. One will
specialise in news and current affairs for an "elite" group of
overseas listeners, while the other will be dominated by educational and
cultural programmes for people wishing to improve their knowledge of
English.

Unfortunately several of the schedules in this list are dated September 1995
or older, so they are now completely out of date - those for Radio New
Zealand, Israel Radio, R Norway, R Denmark, R Sweden, R Finland, R Japan and
Radio Australia have all been superseded. Voice of the Mediterranean closed
in January...

The two BBC Monitoring publications mentioned were relaunched in February:
Summary of World Broadcasts-World Broadcasting Information is now called
WORLD MEDIA
Summary of World Broadcasting-Broadcasting Schedules is now called
BROADCASTING SCHEDULES.

I thought this plan was on indefinate hold as a result of the recent cut
back in Foreign Office funding for the BBC W/S ..?

Last I heard, there were NO plans to go through with this split. This was
mentioned on Media Network a few weeks back, and Jonathan Marks said they're
not doing the split, despite reports to the contrary.

I think I had better clarify this, as an old story seems to have
re-surfaced here. The original story was in the British Daily
Telegraph, written by Maggie Brown who is an experienced and normally
reliable media correspondent. On this occasion, either her sources
misinformed her or she misunderstood something she was told.

The "split" refers to material fed directly to broadcasters by the
BBC, not to any radio service intended for reception by the general
public. I haven't seen any follow-up to this, so I don't know whether
a decision was made or not, but I do know it doesn't involve
mainstream World Service programming.

Print journalists writing about the electronic media often get things
wrong. Our local Hilversum paper the other day quoted a Reuters report
that the BBC had "closed its Arabic service". Of course, this referred
to the Arabic TV news service supplied to Orbit Communications, and
has nothing whatsoever to do with the BBC's Arabic radio service, but
anyone reading the report would not have been able to tell since it
didn't mention TV :-)
