Souvenir from Radio Japan NHK World

Last week I received letters from Radio Japan NHK World - Indonesian programs, it contains postcard photos too, The NHK World has birthday in August for 75 years anniversary. Next time I will post the postcard photos for you. Thank you NHK.

I heard there' s a tight budget policy for VOA that impact to our Indonesian programs shortwave Radio and other languages, it will not broadcast their programs forever in coming soon ( end of this October 2010 ). We only can hear their broadcast on computer via internet connection, point to their website : www.voaindonesia.com . VOA Indonesia start on air in 1942 and now they are ready to close their program in shortwave.

It' s also happen already to BBC - Indonesian programs last July, its broadcast stop on air every Saturday and Sunday, only on air in five days, it is because the same condition, no enough money in their government' s, so they cut several programs to reduce high cost of this overseas Radio station broadcast.

Radio Singapore International - Indonesian programs has already not on air some years ago. In Europe and several countries in Asia start in November they change their frequencies from Summer frequencies to Winter frequencies, from upper side band to lower side band following our Solar system movement,  like Radio Deutshe Welle, Radio Canada International and Radio NHK World.
