Clandestine, Radio Mada Internationale on shortwave

A station calling itself Radio Mada Internationale (but apparently not connected with the domestic station called Radio Mada that has been on the air since 1995) has begun daily broadcasts on shortwave. The station supports the deposed president Marc Ravalomanana. Broadcasts are scheduled at 0400-0430 and 1700-1730 UTC on 5895 kHz. There are also broadcasts every three hours from 0300 UTC on the website at www.radiovazogasy.com.

The station is an initative of Tiako I Madagasikara (I Love Madagascar, TIM) which is a political party in Madagascar founded by a group of individuals on July 3, 2002 to support President Marc Ravalomanana. It is now the largest party in the National Assembly of Madagascar with 106 of 127 seats, after the parliamentary election held on September 23, 2007

'Painful' BBC Cuts to Hit Top Talent

By Vicky Shaw, Press Association Media Correspondent
BBC director-general Mark Thompson outlined plans today to slash .400 million in "painful cuts and reductions" from the corporation's budget.
The cuts to balance the books would range from freezing senior management pay to the amount paid to the corporation's top talent.
Mr Thompson also defended the licence fee, saying that the idea that the creative industries needed further investment reductions made little sense.
Mr Thompson's speech to the Changing Media Summit in London comes in the same week that Tory leader David Cameron said that the Conservatives would freeze the BBC licence fee for one year in response to the recession.
Mr Cameron challenged the Government to match his pledge, which he said would provide a lead in showing how taxpayer-funded institutions can "deliver more for less".
He said he wanted to see the BBC prosper and succeed but in the current tough economic climate, all public institutions had to show that they can "live within their means" and the compulsory fee of .139.50 a year for a colour set should be frozen for one year.
Mr Thompson said today that the idea that the BBC was swimming with cash was out of step with current times.
He said: "Later this morning I'm discussing the BBC's budget for the next three years with the BBC Trust.
"Even given those savings, the impact of the likely falling-away of household growth, the collapse of the commercial property market and pressure on our commercial revenues mean that without further significant reduction in our spending plans we would exceed our statutory borrowing limit within two years. "So we will be proposing a budget which includes a further .400 million of painful cuts and reductions in expenditure, from freezing senior manager pay and withdrawing discretionary bonuses to the amount we pay top talent."
He said the BBC did not face the same scale of financial challenge as some of its commercial colleagues, "but the picture of a BBC swimming with cash and people and able to make additional savings at the drop of a hat is simply out of date".
"We will protect programmes and services over the next few difficult years. "As far as we can, we will also protect jobs and our investment in independent production and in the digital future.
"We can only do those things because we began the difficult process of reform nearly five years ago. And even so the economics are tight."
The BBC has faced controversy in the past over the pay of presenters such as Jonathan Ross, whose earnings have been estimated at around .6 million a year. Mr Thompson said the BBC is not immune to job losses - including 7,200 jobs which have gone over the last four and-a-half years and 1,200 still to go. He said this was a "bigger programme of restructuring and redundancy than has been announced by any other broadcaster, public service or otherwise".
The director-general described the licence fee as a unique privilege with advantages and responsibilities. He described the fee as "an integral and critical element in investment in the creative industries and specifically in creating content". The Government is currently looking into the future of public service broadcasting as part of its forthcoming Digital Britain report.
The BBC has already announced various ways in which it is looking to partner up with other broadcasters, including sharing facilities.
Mr Thompson continued: "More than a third of the licence fee goes straight out of the BBC each year in external contracts with independent producers and other suppliers. "Most of what remains pays directly for creative talent and creative content from Comic Relief to Newsnight.
"The idea that what this country's creative industries need now is a further reduction in investment is not one that makes much sense to me.
"And yet the broader challenge - is the BBC going to stand by, secure in its own funding, while much of the rest of British media faces the abyss, or is the BBC going to take tangible, measurable steps to partner, to support, to share some of its advantages with other broadcasters and media players? - that broader challenge is a fair one and one that the BBC must answer."
He continued: "I believe though that a BBC which visibly helps support and strengthen the rest of UK media, a BBC for whom success is not just about its own programmes and services but about the success of the whole sector in the country but also around the world: I believe that such a BBC will not be weaker, but stronger."

Highlights of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
09 - 15 March 2009

Solar activity was very low. No flares were observed. The visible disk was spotless.

No proton events were observed at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit was at normal levels during 9 - 13 March. High levels were observed on 14 - 15 March.

Geomagnetic field activity was at predominantly quiet levels during 09 - 12 March. Activity increased to unsettled to minor storm levels on 13 March. Quiet to active conditions prevailed on 14 March through mid-day on 15 March, when activity returned to quiet levels. ACE solar wind data indicated the activity was due to a coronal hole high-speed stream (CH HSS). Velocities increased to a maximum of 587 km/s at 13/2111 UTC and then gradually decreased to the end of the period, with a velocity of 435 km/s at 15/2359 UTC. During this period, the interplanetary magnetic field Bt increased to a maximum of 20 nT at 12/2147 UTC, and Bz reached a minimum of -11 nT at 13/0108 UTC.

Forecast of Solar and Geomagnetic Activity
18 March - 13 April 2009

Solar activity is expected to be at very low levels.

No proton events are expected at geosynchronous orbit.

The greater than 2 MeV electron flux at geosynchronous orbit is expected to remain at high levels through 18 March. Normal flux levels are expected during the rest of the period.

Geomagnetic field activity is expected to be at predominantly quiet levels through 08 April. Activity is expected to increase to unsettled to active levels during 09 - 10 April, with a chance for minor storm periods at high latitudes due to a recurrent CH HSS. Mostly quiet activity is expected for the rest of the period.

RTĚ to launch shortwave service to Africa

St Patrick’s Day (17 March) will see the launch of a daily shortwave radio broadcast from RTÉ to the Irish in Africa. This link with home is in response to many requests from Irish people scattered throughout the continent, and working in fields such as aid, peace-keeping, construction projects, and missionary work. According to the Irish government there are many thousands of Irish working in Africa.

Although RTÉ has long been available on satellite and via the Internet, those in remote regions of Africa have asked for shortwave transmissions which will reach portable radio sets in areas that do not even have electricity supplies let alone easy access to satellites and the web. The main coverage area will be West, Central and East Africa.

From 17 March, every evening they will be able to hear a one hour selection of RTÉ radio programs from the day at 1930-2030 UTC on 6220 kHz. The transmission will be provided by WRN, the London headquartered international radio and TV transmission company that has been transmitting RTÉ around the world since 1994.

Said JP Coakley, RTÉ’s Head of Operations, “RTÉ ceased its worldwide shortwave service in 2004 due to the growth of technologies such as the Internet for serving the diaspora. However, Africa obviously presents particular challenges and in 2004 we also introduced a specific service based on delivery to small satellite radios called WorldSpace. However, this service has effectively ceased for the moment so we are reintroducing a shortwave service to Africa – we want Irish people there to know that RTÉ values the connection with them as much as they do”.
