REE Spain registers new winter frequency plan

 At ISWBG deadline, we received information that Spain's Radio Exterior Espana was planning to resume broadcasting on shortwave. Severe budget cuts had forced the station to terminate all broadcast on shortwave at the close of their summer schedule season in October.
  After extensive deliberations, the RTVE Board of Directors approved to resume broadcasting transmissions from Noblejas, Spain. Plans are to mainly beam broadcast to four main target areas, four hours a day and eight hours on weekends. 
  At this time the following schedule, which has been revised from the previous listing in Late Breaking News is noted as "tentative," 
A start date has not been released at this post. The definitive schedule will be released shortly. Please refer to this blog for a complete schedule when it becomes available, or follow me on Twitter as Gayle Van Horn @QSLRptMT for a tip.
