The Voice of America shortwave schedule 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.
VOA's remaining shortwave service is aimed at audiences where other ways of listening are limited. Korean programs for the Korean peninsula take most of the schedule, followed by Mandarin for China, Tibetan, and Pashto and Dari for Afghanistan. English programs for Africa appear on some days of the week. Most broadcasts are relayed from Tinang in the Philippines and from Kuwait, each on several frequencies at once to get through jamming and changing propagation.
International broadcasters publish their schedules in UTC and change them twice a year, at the end of March and at the end of October, when they move to summer or winter frequencies. Without a converter, a broadcast at 14:00 UTC is a different local hour in every city, and the gap shifts again when your own country changes its clocks. This calendar follows the current season of the EiBi shortwave schedule and places every broadcast at its real local time.
Select a broadcast to see its frequencies in kHz, the target area, the transmitter and the days it airs, with a link to listen on an online SDR receiver.
Yes. VOA keeps a shortwave service aimed mainly at the Korean peninsula, China, Tibet and Afghanistan, with occasional English broadcasts for Africa. Every broadcast in the current EiBi schedule is on the timeline.
Each broadcast goes out on one to five frequencies at once, most of them between 9 and 16 MHz. Select a broadcast on the timeline to see its frequencies in kHz, the transmitter site and the target area. The frequencies change at the end of March and the end of October.
Most broadcasts come from the VOA relay station at Tinang in the Philippines and from Kuwait; some Korean programs are relayed from transmitters in South Korea.
Each broadcast has a Listen live link that opens the University of Twente WebSDR, a receiver in the Netherlands, tuned to the broadcast frequency. Reception there depends on the target area and propagation.
