Taiwan: Independent Radio Broadcasters at Peril in Taiwan

Taiwan: Independent Radio Broadcasters at Peril in Taiwan

Radio Taiwan International (RTI) substation in Tianma has 20 antennas, each 75 meters high, forming a circle. Its coverage area is no. 1 in the world. RTI is planning to shut down its substations and end its contracts with Sound of Hope Radio and Radio Free Asia, which have been broadcasting uncensored news to the mainland. (Li Yuan/The Epoch Times)

By Li Miaoren/Epoch Times Staff - April 25, 2013

Media freedom in Taiwan is again under attack by political forces from mainland China, resulting in a sudden decision by Radio Taiwan International (RTI) to dismantle two of its substations. Among RTI’s customers who will lose their contracts are Sound of Hope Radio and Radio Free Asia, which have played an important role in broadcasting uncensored news to the mainland.

Earlier this month, RTI’s largest customer, Sound of Hope Radio (SOH), received a notice that the Huwei substation in Yunlin County will be dismantled beginning June 1. The eight radio antennas pointing towards China will be removed ahead of schedule, and the broadcasting business will also stop at the end of May.

Tainan, another RTI substation in Tianma, will also be dismantled in a few months’ time, according to an insider.

This has caused great concern at SOH headquarters in California. SOH has worked with RTI for over nine years, utilizing RTI’s shortwave spectrum to broadcast independent news programs from the West into mainland China.

According to insider information, RTI high-level executives visited mainland China at the end of February. Soon after, RTI announced its intention to take down the two substations.

Following the removal of the substations, RTI will terminate all its rebroadcasting customers and also stop its own shortwave broadcasting, and develop a mobile platform and Internet broadcasting instead, the insider said.

Zeng (Allen) Yong, President of SOH, told The Epoch Times he had rushed to Taiwan as he was very concerned about RTI’s move to terminate its main customers in the name of consolidating substations and eventually ending shortwave broadcasting into China–a matter of great concern to the Communist Party, which censors media in the mainland.

SOH has been doing business with RTI since 2004. At the end of 2009, due to pressure from the Party, RIT wanted to reduce SOH’s time slots by 50 percent. This move alerted the European Parliament and the U.S. Congress. A number of Congressmen publicly spoke out on the matter, forcing the Taiwanese government to step in. Coupled with pressure by Taiwan media, the cutback plan was withdrawn.

“We hope this matter is not a repeat of 2009,” Zeng said. “The Republic of China is a free and democratic country. Free media broadcasting into China plays a big role in bringing truthful information to mainland Chinese. It should be protected and encouraged, rather than suppressed and eradicated.”

Zeng appealed to Taiwan’s President Ma Ying-jeou to pay attention to the matter, saying SOH Radio, Free Asia Radio, and others have played a positive role in broadcasting free information to mainlanders. RTI’s plan to dismantle its substations looks like “some black box operation,” using shortwave radio as a bargaining chip in exchange for political interests on the other side of strait.

España: Radio Euskadi cumple 30 años

Radio Euskadi cumple 30 años

Radio Euskadi cumple 30 años

Este 2013 se cumplen los 30 años de emisiones de Radio Euskadi. Una fecha significativa para la emisora pública vasca, que celebran con una campaña que ha creado Dimensión.

Del mismo modo que en aquel entonces un equipo de periodistas y técnicos se lanzaron a la aventura de poner en marcha un nuevo medio de comunicación, el spot que conmemora el aniversario muestra a un grupo de paracaidistas que saltan desde una avioneta.

El punto de partida es el concepto “30 años en el aire”. Así, la campaña expresa ese trabajo con la metáfora de unos paracaidistas que descienden en libertad y armonía, cogidos de las manos, y a quienes vemos a cámara lenta.

“Es un concepto poético de ensoñación que invita a imaginar, como lo hace la radio”, explica la agencia en una nota. “Además transmiten la inmediatez que también tiene ese medio. Radio Euskadi está volando por el mundo para contarnos, de primera mano, todo lo que pasa en cada momento”.

O como resume el spot: “Hace 30 años salimos al aire. Y desde entonces no hemos dejado de estar conectados al mundo, conectados a ti. 30 años informándote, acompañándote, haciendo volar tu imaginación”.

El anuncio lo ha producido Irusoin con imágenes del Skydive Empuriabrava y es la primera acción de un conjunto de campañas que celebrarán el aniversario a lo largo del año. La primera emisión de Radio Euskadi “saltó” a la antena el 31 de marzo de 1983.

EFE Madrid 22/04/2013 14:18

Radio Nacional de España pierde audiencia a un ritmo sangrante. Los últimos datos del Estudio General de Medios (EGM) difundidos hoy revelan que las principales emisoras de radio, a excepción de la Cadena Cope, han descendido en número de oyentes, pero es sin duda RNE la que ha sufrido una pérdida mayor.

Onda Cero, de lunes a viernes, pasa de 2.615.000 a 2.612.000, con lo que es la cadena que menor caída registra.

Por su parte, la Cadena COPE, la única que registra un incremento, ha aumentado en 265.000 oyentes, pasando de 1.704.000 a 1.969.000, pese a no registrar todavía los datos de audiencia que supone la incorporación, producida el pasado marzo, de las emisoras de ABC Punto Radio.

En relación a los espacios informativos nocturnos, RNE es la única que sigue registra un descenso. El programa '24 horas' se sitúa en los 369.000, con una bajada de 37.000 personas. Entre las que aumentan, sigue a la cabeza 'Hora 25' (SER), con 1.343.000 oyentes, 6.000 más, seguido de 'La Linterna' de la Cadena COPE, con 636.000 y una subida de 109.000. Detrás se coloca "La Brújula", de Onda Cero, con 567.000, que también registra una subida de 29.000 oyentes

Entre los programas deportivos nocturnos sólo apuntan un incremento 'El Partido de las Doce' de la Cadena COPE que, con 506.000, aumenta en 67.000 seguidores y Radio Gaceta de los Deportes (RNE).

Nigeria: How Opposition Views Landed FRCN, Liberty Radio in Trouble

BY ISMAIL MUDASHIR, 21 APRIL 2013

Kaduna — Two radio stations based in Kaduna were few days ago fined for airing views of the opposition. The media outfits are Radio Nigeria, Kaduna and Liberty FM, a private owned radio station.

While the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission (NBC) said it sanctioned the two radio stations over unprofessional conduct, the media are expressing misgivings over the regulatory body's action. The two radio stations were reportedly slammed fines of N2 million each.

Radio Nigeria, Kaduna was fined over the airing of the controversial programme of former governor of Zamfara State, Senator Ahmed Sani Yarima. It would be recalled that while featuring on "Hanu da Yawa", a Hausa phone-in programme of radio Kaduna, Senator Yarima while responding to a question from a listener said promoters of All Progressive Congress (APC) including Former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu and former governor of Kano State, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau would protest in Abuja should INEC refuse to register APC.

While the two-hours programme was on, the Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, Olufemi Adenaike led armed mobile policemen to the station and arrested the former governor who is a serving senator representing Zamfara West Senatorial constituency. He was released after many hours in the police headquarters, Kaduna. The arrest generated uproar among the promoters of the APC.

Two days after the programme was aired, NBC queried the government owned radio station and afterwards, Sunday Trust gathered the regulatory body fined the management of the station.

On its part, Sunday Trust gathered that Liberty Radio was fined because of the comment of a listener on the good governance tour of the Federal Government. It was further gathered that the station was fined few days ago following a Hausa programme tagged "Ina Dalili". During the phone-in programme, a caller objected to the proposed visit of the good governance team to Kaduna State, describing it as a waste.

However media watchers are of the view that Liberty Radio has been on the watch list of the government following the disclosure of Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State on the radio. The Niger State governor disclosed that President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan signed a single term pact with Northern governors. The governor's revelation at the station tensed up the political landscape of the country.

Observers said the radio station which is owned by a-Kaduna based business mogul, Dr Ahmed Tijjani Ramallan since then had been on the watch list. The airing of the programme which was lifted by many newspapers made NBC to beam its searchlight on the station.

In his reaction, chairman of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ, Kaduna State Chapter, Yusuf Idris said journalists are intermediaries who link the leadership and the followers and as such should not be deliberately put in the face of crossfire from both sides.

"NUJ cannot be satisfied with the issues of arrests, clampdown and intimidation from whatever quarters because journalists are messengers, who inform, educate, enlighten and entertain the society. In the course of our duty, we face various challenges but Nigerians must know what is going on around democracy.

"What NBC is doing is completely wrong. If they don't want people to express their views it should be in their rules and regulations that broadcast stations should not allow live phone-in- programmes. We are going back to the dark ages when people were not allowed to express their views and citizens have the right to express their opinions," he said.

A veteran broadcaster, Malam Abdulkarim Albashir said it was ridiculous for the radio station to be held responsible for statements credited to listeners in a live programme.

He said the ongoing repression which included the arrest and re-arrest of Leadership Newspaper reporters and editors and arrest of Al-mizan editor and reporter, showed that "Nigeria is returning back to dictatorship despite being in a democracy.

"What this indicates is that we are gradually returning to dictatorship. I enjoyed more press freedom with FRCN as a government media then than what I see now. Since I started journalism in 1974, I have not seen such an amazing thing happen in a democracy and it is not going to stop. Their intention is to cripple some radio stations and newspapers not towing their line," he said.

However when contacted, the zonal director of Radio Nigeria, Kaduna, Malam Ladan Saliu denied the report, saying they were only queried by the regulatory body.

"There was nothing like a fine, the following week of the phone-in programme, the NBC queried us demanding explanation on the Yarima programme. We replied and gave them all the answers. The NBC did that as a regulatory body of broadcast outfits in the country. This thing do happen in broadcasting organisations what matter is the sincerity of it," he said.

Reacting on the report that the anchor of the programme has been suspended, he said the presenter was only queried." Yes we queried him because he took his eyes off the ball and allowed the guest to make remarks that ordinarily he should have guided him. The query we issued him was normal in the civil service," he said in a telephone interview last night.

In a telephone interview, a management staff of Liberty Radio confirmed the slamming of the fine by NBC." They queried us and after our reply we were fined for N2 million. We are waiting for NBC now because when we complained that we cannot pay the fine, they constituted a committee to look into it. So now we are waiting," he said.

But acting head of media of NBC, Mrs Maimuna Jinaida in a statement said the commission did not sanction only Radio Nigeria, Kaduna and Liberty FM but that Adamawa Broadcasting Corporation and Gotel Radio Yola were also sanctioned for same reasons.

According to her, the NBC has noted with grave concern, a trend of unprofessional broadcasts on the airwaves and that the sanctions were part of efforts to ensure professional conducts.

While urging all stations to adhere strictly to the provisions of the broadcasting code and other laws regulating broadcasting in the country, she said the commission would impose stricter sanctions on violators.

Australia: SBS gives Armenian radio program another hour

SBS gives Armenian radio program another hour

The Armenian National Committee of Australia (ANC Australia) reports that the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) has reinstated an additional hour of Armenian language radio broadcasting after an extensive campaign by the community.

In 2012, SBS announced that the Armenian language program would be cut from three hours to one hour and be assigned to a new 5pm timeslot. Having raised serious concerns amongst the Armenian-Australian community, ANC Australia began an e-petition campaign calling on SBS to reassess its decision.

Vache Kahramanian, Executive Director of ANC Australia, and His Grace Bishop Haigazon Najarian met with SBS management, and SBS agreed to alocate an additional one hour for the Armenian language program. The additional hour, which will be a replay of the program aired at 5pm will air at 8pm on Tuesday evenings.

Kahramanian said: “This is a victory for the Armenian-Australian community.”

“With an additional hour, Armenians have won another opportunity to listen to this fantastic program, and the fact that it is at 8pm means people will be able to listen to the Armenian program at a more convenient hour during prime-time.”

“We thank SBS for taking this principled stance and not only listening but acting on our community’s concerns.”

The new digital program will commence on 29 April and will broadcast on SBS Radio 3. It can also be listened to online, through a mobile device or through the SBS digital TV channel.

India: AIR Bengaluru on the road to DRM

AIR Bengaluru on the road to DRM

AIR Bengaluru on the road to DRM

MUMBAI: With digital stated to be as the future of radio, most stations of All India Radio are aiming to rope in Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) transmitters to improve its transmission and content quality. After successfully testing the signals as part of a live in-car demo, the DRM signals will now be tested in AIR Bengaluru to monitor the quality of broadcast.

AIR Bengaluru will be testing DRM signals for the entire week commencing Monday, using a 500 kW transmitter for their Vividh Bharati Service on 9870 kHz.

The schedule for broadcast will be in three segments; from 5:55-10:05am, 2:30-5:30pm and 6:15-11:10pm. The transmission will be monitored by National Insitute of Amateur Radio Hyderabad assistant director Jose Jacob, who will monitor the broadcast and send reports to AIR on the same.

Speaking with Radioandmusic.com, Jacob said, “AIR which is now in AM mode has got a new transmitter to go digital. The testing is going to commence from next week and since I have been involved in testing and monitoring procedures before, I will be sending out reports of the quality to AIR. Being a new transmitter, there may be some hiccups during broadcast, so our focus will remain on that.”

As reported by Radioandmusic.com earlier, All India Radio has around 100 per cent coverage across the country on medium wave broadcasting and they use short wave for external transmissions. But due to industrialization, the transmission quality is getting deteriorated. There are a lot of noise issues and listeners are not happy with the analogue as far as the domestic coverage is concerned, while on the short wave the signal is not available frequently.

There are different systems on digital and AIR has adopted the system known as DRM, which is being used for external broadcast service by most of the country.

Moreover with AIR Bengaluru having 90 per cent of external broadcast services, the DRM transmitters will be a move to the positive side for them. The short wave DRM transmitter has already been implemented in Delhi, and Bengaluru seems to be next on the cards.

“Although there are a lot of benefits of DRM transmitters, the receiver is a problem as we are yet to fully understand it. There are a lot of things that still need to be looked into, but I am sure that once this system starts to get in place, the transmitter and receiver problems will be sorted out too,” he added.

The DRM transmitters are stated to bring with it many advantages including access to more content choice with improved sound quality, along with access to digital features like text news, sports results and automatic disaster warning in multiple languages amongst others.

Costa Rica: Q´Teja Radio comenzó formalmente sus transmisiones y viene regalona.

MELVIN MOLINA mmolina@nacion.com

San José (Redacción). Radio Q´Teja 91.5 FM comenzó este lunes sus transmisiones con mucho entusiasmo; además la nueva emisora de Grupo Nación se prepara para ofrecerle a su audiencia una mañana regalona, donde podrán interactuar directamente con sus locutores.

Andrés Zamora , a quien se le conoce mejor como Padre Mix, aseguró que la respuesta de los costarricenses durante la primera hora de transmisiones superó toda expectativa.

De distintos puntos del país llaman para hacer reportes de sintonía, pedir canciones y felicitarlos por esta nueva opción en el dial.

En cabina el locutor Bryan Chacón es quien tiene la responsabilidad de atender la central 2247-3915, para recibir los comentarios del público. Una tarea que lo mantiene con una enorme sonrisa.

La Radio Q´Teja 91.5 FM instaló una enorme unidad móvil frente a las instalaciones de Grupo Nación, en Llorente de Tibás. A las 8 a. m. y hasta el mediodía de este lunes el Padre Mix y Chacón estarán conversando con todo aquel que se acerque, igual con los carros que pasen frente a la móvil.

“Vamos a estar sorteando una moto entre quienes vengan desde hoy y hasta el miércoles. Aquí (en la móvil frente a Grupo Nación) les vamos a dar un cupón con el que pueden participar. Además las modelos de La Teja van a estar obsequiando mangas para mensajeros, llaveros, etc”, agregó el Padre Mix.

Grettel Alfaro, directora de Prisa Radio Costa Rica (ADN 90.7 FM, Los 40 Principales), aseguró días atrás que la nueva Q´Teja 91.5 FM está dirigida a la clase media amplia del país.

Napster.fm recurre a YouTube para ofrecer una radio online Open Source

Durante los últimos años ya hemos visto como numerosos sitios web que ofrecían streaming de contenido multimedia (tanto de audio como de vídeo) eran clausurados por las autoridades o por sus dueños con intención de evitar procedimientos legales. Hoy os vamos a hablar de Napster.fm, una radio online más, pero que en este caso ha utilizado un truquillo para evitar, en principio, problemas:recurrir a YouTube.

El funcionamiento de Napster.fm (ojo, no está relacionado con Napster original pero el dueño decidió ponerle el mismo nombre ya que comparten filosofía) se basa en extraer las canciones de YouTube, desde clips legales y autorizados que los propios artistas ofrecen en el popular portal de alojamiento de vídeos.

Para utilizar el servicio, que es gratuito, no hace falta estar registrado, aunque al crear un usuario es posible sincronizar varios navegadores para escuchar lo que tú estás escuchando. ¿Posibles usos? Pues poder acceder a tu biblioteca de música desde cualquier ordenador o incluso compartir las canciones que tienes almacenadas con tus amigos.

Si, además, utilizas esta funcionalidad y añades a amigos a otros usuarios, podrás ver qué canciones van añadiendo ellos a sus listas (con Hot List), como explican en TechCrunch. Y si no sabes qué escuchar, la pestaña Discovery se va actualizando a tiempo real con la música que se está reproduciendo o añadiendo al servicio.

Opensource

Como explicaremos a continuación, a pesar del truco de recurrir a YouTube, servicios como éste podrían tener los días contados. Ryan Lester, el estudiante universitario que ha creado Napster.fm, es consciente de ello y por eso tiene un plan: Napster.fm es Open Source.

¿Qué significa esto? Que no sólo anima a que otros programadores puedan echarle una mano con el sitio y sus posibles fallos, sino que cualquiera puede hacer facilmente su propio clon. De esta forma, “si Napster.fm queda abandonado o cierra, la comunidad podría volver a recuperarlo rápidamente”, según apunta el propio Lester en la página principal.

¿Se puede extraer audio de YouTube?

Técnicamente sí se puede extraer audio de los clips alojados en Youtube, y así lo han demostrado los numerosos sitios web que han existido y siguen existiendo para ello. Otra cosa es que sea una práctica autorizada por Google y que, como podréis suponer, no lo es.

Hace unos meses, Google ya bloqueó un conocido servicio que permitía importar *.mp3 desde los propios vídeos subidos. El pasado verano vivimos un caso similar con amenazas legales de por medio en UK. ¿Es ilegal extraer audio de un vídeo público? La respuesta a esa pregunta está por ver, peroGoogle recurre a sus Términos de uso para declarar esta práctica como no permitida y salvaguardarse las espaldas.

Google tiene motivos para estar a la defensiva si las discográficas comienzan a preocuparse por este fenómeno. Después de mucho tiempo, por fin han conseguido que sean ellas, y no sólo los usuarios sin permiso, las que suban y compartan los vídeos de sus artistas. Si Google no les garantiza cierta protección, no sería extraño que este panorama cambiase.

La pelota está ahora en la cancha de Google, que todavía no se ha puesto serio con estos sitios más allá de mandar algún cease and desist o bloqueando el acceso de algunos de ellos. Pero existen decenas, o incluso más, además de herramientas offline que permiten realizar el mismo proceso. La batalla no ha hecho más que comenzar, y si sigue la moda de sitios como Napster.fm, Google no lo va a tener fácil.
