Amine Ferhane reported on mediumwave.info "There are changes to the programs and frequencies in Algeria: Jil FM on 531 kHz changed to Radio Algeria International, and Chaine 1 on 891 kHz has also changed to Radio Algeria International". 

Tony Rogers writes: Following the switch of 531 and 891 kHz to Radio Algeria International in February, English has been heard at 1330-1400 and Spanish at 1400-1430. On 20 February, English was heard again in 1917 with a repeat of the featured program that had been heard earlier at 1345, followed by
Spanish. 

At most other times programming is in Arabic or French.
