Denmark, part 2
Jeff :This week, we bring you the concluding part of our short series on radio broadcasting in the Scandinavian country of Denmark. Last week, Ray Robinson noted that it was on April 1, 1925 that all radio broadcasting in Denmark was nationalized under the Danish State Broadcasting Service. After the Second World War, there were a number of successful privately-owned commercial radio stations across Europe, most notably those targeting cross-border audiences, such as those in Luxembourg, Tangier, Monte Carlo, Andorra, and the Saar region of Germany. But most countries, including Denmark, kept very tight government control of the airwaves, which led to staid, unadventurous programming that did not keep pace with audiences’ musical tastes. And that sets the scene for the situation in the late 1950’s, when the Danes again led the way with the first venture into offshore broadcasting. Here’s Ray with the story.
Frequency update on Radio Voz Missionária
One of our Brazilian contributors, reports the following. Thank you!
9665 kHz Voz Missionária, Camboriu SC, Brazil, is back on the air. I'm not sure if it's permanent, or if what's being transmitted is still a provisional technical analysis.
11750 on the air.
5940 is still silent. It's still under announced maintenance.
