RNW English to South Africa not on air June 24


a reminder to our readers .......


For logistical reasons, the RNW English transmission to South Africa at 1800-1900 UTC on 6020 kHz will not be on the air on 24 June, as the transmitter is required to carry the World Cup football commentary in Dutch (Netherlands-Cameroon).

Listeners in South Africa who are missing Reloaded and Earth Beat on Thursday can hear repeats of these programmes on Monday and Tuesday respectively. Other English frequencies to Africa are unaffected.


The complete frequency schedule for the football coverage on 24 June is as follows:

1800-2200 UTC

1296 kHz to Benelux
5915 kHz to South Africa
5950 kHz to Europe/Scandinavia
9895 kHz to SW Europe
11670 kHz to SE Europe/Middle East
15310 kHz to Caribbean/Florida
17535 kHz to Atlantic/W Africa
2000-2200 UTC

6040 kHz to W & SW Europe
6125 kHz to SW Europe
Dutch-speaking listeners in Australia can also hear the commentary via SBS Radio.
