Hello friends,
President Trump’s shutdown of US international broadcasting has generated news, to much and too fast to cover it adequately on Shortwave Radiogram.
Some of the USAGM entities are experiencing victories. Radio MartĆ is back in operation via its medium wave transmitter in the Florida Keys, and it might also get some revived shortwave from North Carolina. USAGM turned over funds to RFE/RL for part of March, and now has rescinded its grant termination, for the time being. Radio Free Asia has now brought court action against USAGM, hoping for similar results. Voice of America employees and its director have initiated court actions against USAGM.

This week’s Shortwave Radiogram includes an analysis by a New Zealand scholar about the implications of the closure of VOA and the other entities. Also an item about a survey of American support for public broadcasters PBS and NPR.
A video of last week’s Shortwave Radiogram (program 394) is provided by Scott in Ontario (Wednesday 1330 UTC). The audio archive is maintained by Mark in the UK. H0b0_Radio offers this useful IQ recording. Analysis is provided by Roger in Germany.
