BURMA (MYANMAR)
5985, Myanma Radio, 1348-1405, May 8, first day that they have resumed
broadcasting after not being hear for several days. Before the cyclone
the format at this time would usually be EZL pop songs, but today of
course was different, non-stop talking in vernacular and naturally
many mentions of Myanmar, mostly fair
reception till 1400, after that was poor due to 5980 signing-on with a
strong signal. E-mails sent to Myanmar have recently not gone through,
but have not failed, just "temporarily delayed", as I assume the power
has been off there.
[Howard]
Where is Myanma Radio's SW station broadcasting from now? Have seen
recent cyclone news reports about broadcasting from the new capital
("….  according to a state radio station. The radio station
broadcasting from the country's capital Naypyitaw"). Have also read
about Myanma Radio and Television having moved to the new capital at
Naypyitaw, leaving their Pyay Road, Yangon/Rangoon location. The full
story (Mizzima News - March 4, 2008) is at:
< http://www.mizzima.com/news/inside-burma/4-inside-burma/247-myanmar-radio-and-television-moving-to-new-capital
. So Yangon/Rangoon is no longer the capital, but has Myanma Radio
finished broadcasting from there via SW? Perhaps this all has to do
with: sudden change in frequency to 5985.0, which for so many years
was steady on 5985.83; the appearance of the additional frequency of
5915 and the new scheduling for their English Language Service?

All India Radio maintains its status as world's largest network

Monday, 05 May , 2008, 16:40
New Delhi: Despite financial and infrastructural constraints, the  
reach of
the All India Radio (AIR) is far greater than other private channels,  
and it
is the world's largest network.
AIR FM channels cover 23 per cent of the area and 31 per cent of the
population, whereas private FM channels cover only 3.3 per cent of the  
area
and 9.3 per cent of the population, says a Prasar Bharati report.
Even after the completion of phase two, private FM would cover only  
9.0 per
cent of the area and 21 per cent of the population. Moreover, the report
says, private FM channels were city centric, so the entire rural areas  
were
deprived of their services, and AIR was the only radio service reaching
them.
At present AIR has 23 stations and 361 transmitters, which is the  
largest
network in the world, covering 91.42 per cent of the population.
The report pointed out that after the advent of the Prasar Bharati,  
the huge
AIR network was increasingly being constrained in terms of critical
resources and inputs such as programmes, establishments, latest  
equipment
and maintenance, among others.
These problems have arisen due to limited budget grant and acute staff
shortage, as there has not been fresh recruitment for many years.
One constraint has arisen out of the role of AIR as public broadcaster  
as it
has kept away from pure entertainment programming, which brings hefty  
amount
as commercial revenue, the report said. However, the growth of radio
advertising in the current year has been projected to exceed 50 per cent
because of two factors - social marketing and retail marketing, it said.
AIR, which started its operations in 1927, broadcasts in 24 languages  
and
146 dialects. In External Services, it covers 27 languages including 16
foreign and 11 Indian languages.

Chief of Project, IRIN Afghanistan Radio
Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN)
Location: Kabul, Afghanistan
Last Date: May 17, 2008
Email: (Reference: DevNetJobs.org)

http://216.197.119.113/jobman/publish/article_45542.shtml

OFFICE FOR THE COORDINATION OF HUMANITARIAN AFFAIRS
INTEGRATED REGIONAL INFORMATION NETWORKS (IRIN)

JOB DESCRIPTION

POSITION TITLE: Chief of Project, IRIN Afghanistan
Radio
GRADE: L-3
DUTY STATION: Kabul, Afghanistan
DURATION: 12 months
SUPERVISOR: IRIN Radio Coordinator, Nairobi, Kenya

I. Background

Part of the UN Office for the Coordination of
Humanitarian Affairs, the
Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN) is an
editorially
independent humanitarian news and analysis service
reporting on more than
70 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and the
Middle East. IRIN aims to
provide comprehensive and impartial coverage of
humanitarian and related
issues in the regions where it operates. Intended for
the benefit of a
global readership, an emphasis is made on assisting
governments and aid
organizations to implement their humanitarian and
post-disaster recovery
work in developing countries.
Over the years, IRIN has built a reputation for
providing relevant, timely
information to the humanitarian community. However,
experience pointed to
a need to provide vital information to the victims of
crisis as well. In
most parts of the developing world, grassroots
communities get little
access to media because of poverty, illiteracy and a
lack of basic
infrastructure. The one exception is radio, which
reaches a mass audience
in many countries. Responding to this need, in 2001
IRIN began a radio
initiative, which has developed unique expertise in
using radio as a tool
for promoting humanitarian priorities and action, as
well as bringing
communities closer to each other and to the outside
world.

II. General Responsibilities

Based in Kabul, Afghanistan and under the general
supervision of the
Nairobi-based IRIN Radio Coordinator, the Chief of the
Project supervises
the IRIN-Afghanistan Radio project, overseeing the
radio and online
production of the office, overseeing and managing the
