Radio Exterior de España Shortwave Schedule

The shortwave schedule of Radio Exterior de España (REE), Spain’s international radio, on the timelines of your cities: every broadcast with its language, frequencies, target area and transmitter site, shown in your own time zone instead of UTC.

REE broadcasts mainly in Spanish, for Spaniards abroad and Spanish speakers in the Americas, Africa and the Middle East, with longer hours on weekends. Alongside it runs a set of weekly programs, each on its own day: Russian, Arabic, Mandarin, English, French and Portuguese, and Emisión en sefardí, a program in Judaeo-Spanish (Ladino) for Sephardic communities — one of the rarest languages still heard on shortwave.

The broadcasts leave from the transmitter site at Noblejas, near Toledo, on high-frequency bands that carry well to the Americas in the afternoon, with a relay in the United Arab Emirates for some programs. Because most programs air only on certain days, the schedule is hard to read in a table; on the timeline each one appears on its day, at its local time. REE publishes the schedule in UTC and changes frequencies at the end of March and the end of October. This calendar follows the current season of the EiBi shortwave schedule and converts every broadcast to the time zones of your cities.
