All India Radio tender notice for DRM digital transmitters

Posted: 01 Jul 2010 10:17 PM PDT

India’s public service broadcaster All India Radio (AIR) is putting into practice its plans for digitalisation of radio and has placed a global tender notice for the procurement of several DRM digital transmitters. AIR has invited bids for the supply of 34 new MW transmitters, for the upgrade of 36 MW transmitters and purchase of 5 SW transmitters and other associated equipment. The Research Department of AIR is also going ahead with the purchase of a 500 watt DRM shortwave transmitter for conducting trials on 26 MHz SW DRM transmissions for local coverage. The details of the tender advertisement can be found on the official AIR website:

http://www.allindiaradio.org/NIT/Tenderenquiry-13/18006010.html

This procurement process is the start of the AIR’s digitalisation plan of ensuring DRM Digital radio coverage for the entire country, thereby providing better and more robust radio services to the listeners.

Earlier this year, AIR had placed orders for the purchase of two 1000 KW DRM capable transmitters which are now being made ready for inspection and delivery. These MW transmitters can be operated in DRM mode, in analogue or in simulcast mode and provide coverage to very large areas in the Indian subcontinent. The transmitters have been manufactured by Thomson Broadcast & Multimedia, A.G.

And recently All India Radio has also confirmed the purchase of 6 mobile DRM transmitters of 10 KW each which are AM/DRM ready. These containerized transmitters are meant to be used in disaster management CASES as they can be easily transported to the affected areas by air/rail/road. A 60 meter medium wave mobile mast goes in another container which can be easily erected together with the transmitter and start broadcasting as and when required. These transmitters are being supplied by M/S Riz, Croatia.

BBC World Service 2009/10 Annual Review

Posted: 05 Jul 2010 09:46 PM PDT

BBC World Service attracting millions in new audiences to TV, online,
mobile and FM in changing media climate, says 2009/10 Annual Review

BBC World Service expanded its reach on new platforms last year in the
face of a dramatic drop in global shortwave listening trends,
according to the BBC World Service Annual Review for 2009/10,
published on 5th July.
The Review provides information about BBC World Service’s performance
during a year of major news events such as the earthquake in Haiti and
the elections in Iran and Afghanistan.
During the year, BBC World Service attracted around 9 million new
viewers to its television, online and mobile services, in addition to
new listeners to BBC radio programmes through local FM and medium wave
radio partner stations in a number of countries.
This increase came despite a loss of 20 million short wave radio listeners during the year, reflecting the increasing global decline in short wave listening.

Overall, BBC World Service drew a weekly multimedia audience of 180 million across television, radio, online and mobiles – an eight million decline from the previous year. In his foreword, BBC World Service Director Peter Horrocks said: “The headline figures only tell part of the story. The strategic move into Arabic and Persian television channels has been vindicated.”

The estimated BBC Arabic television audience was up 3.5 million, making it the largest BBC’s largest language service with an audience of 22 million across all platforms, while BBC Persian has an estimated 3.1 million viewers in Iran. Commenting on the effectiveness of BBC World Service, he added: “We are only beginning to appreciate the full impact of our journalism on local media and even on the course of events.”

He also cited the impact of citizen journalism on BBC World Service, especially during the disputed elections in Iran, when BBC Persian was receiving up to eight user-generated items a minute and traffic to its online site was up 155%: “BBC World Service will be a standard-setter in the new platforms and the new spaces, just as it has over the years in radio.”

Other review highlights:

- Online performance was up 39% to 7.3 million unique users.
- BBC World Service launched 18 new mobile sites in 2009/10, attracting 4 million page impressions.
- Independent research continues to indicate that BBC World Service’s reputation for providing unbiased and objective news and information is stronger than that of any other international radio competitor in most markets surveyed.
- BBC Global News – which includes BBC World Service, BBC World News television and the BBC’s international news online services – had a record global weekly audience of over 241 million during 2009/10. Peter Horrocks became Director, BBC Global, News in February 2010.
- BBC World Service’s Grant-in-Aid funding during 2009/10 was £268m.

Radio Fly on Shortwave

Posted: 28 May 2010 08:40 PM PDT

Radio Fly on Shortwave
Tabubil, Papua New Guinea

Listeners in countries such as Japan and New Zealand have been reporting reception of new shortwave broadcaster Radio Fly in recent days.

Radio Fly is a community radio station operated by the Ok Tedi Mine management in the isolated Western Province of Papua New Guinea, about 800km west of the capital Port Moresby.

According to Jobby Paiva, who hosts the evening show on Radio Fly, the station operates from two FM transmitters [95.3 at the port town of Kiunga and 103.8 in the main company town of Tabubil about 90km inland] and recently started shortwave relays on 3915kHz and 5960kHz.

English news is scheduled 7am-7.30am Tue-Sat and again at 7.30pm-7.45pm Mon-Fri [local times] and the 6am-10pm [2000-1200 UTC] broadcast day is divided into the Breakfast Shift 6am-10am, Mid Morning/Mid Afternoon Shift 10am-2pm, Afternoon Drive 2pm-6pm and the Night Shift 6pm-10pm closedown.

He tells us that the transmitter power details for the SW outlets will be available shortly and they’re delighted to be getting emails in from a growing number of listeners around the world.

Station details will be included in the 2011 WRTH: Radio Fly studios are on Dakon Street, Tabubil. Mailing address: PO Box 1, Tabubil, Western Province, Papua New Guinea. Team Leader: Michael Miise. Telephone: +675 649 3924. Fax: +675 6493023. Email: jobby.paiva@oktedi.com.

Jobby has previously been a broadcaster with Nau FM and other commercial stations in Papua New Guinea and maintains a regular blog where updates about Radio Fly can be found:
www.jobbyswalk-about.blogspot.com.

Tabubil is the site of one of the world’s largest copper mines [previously gold mining] about 20km from the border with Indonesia and just over 300km from Jayapura. Annual rainfall is around 315 inches [8 meters] and the township is located in extremely dense jungle.

A road links Tabubil with a port at Kiunga where the copper slurry is taken by pipeline, and the port mainly exists to service Tabubil. Both Kiunga and Tabubil are in the highly mountainous North Fly District of Western Province.

Radio Fly serves a combined Tabubil/Kiunga urban population of about 25,000 [estimated] and began broadcasting on FM in 2004. For more information about Radio Fly and the Ok Tedi mining operations see: www.oktedi.com.
