Lao National Radio external service available online


The external service of state broadcaster Lao National Radio has now made its English and Lao programmes available on its website at www.lnr.org.la.
The broadcaster has had some audio content available on its website for some time, however consisting of just specific news items in English, Lao, Hmong and French. This remains the case for the latter two languages, but now the entire English and Lao programmes for the current and previous few days are available on demand.
It’s not clear if the station still broadcasts on shortwave. Only their 97.25 MHz FM frequency is announced in the English programme, but the 7145 kHz shortwave frequency is still mentioned in their ‘About Us’ page.
