BURMA / MYANMAR
5915, Myanma Radio, 1512, Jan 13. Perhaps a change in their schedule!
Heard in vernacular with a lecture till 1517; started segment of non-stop
indigenous music and songs till 1529; assume sign off announcement;
1530*. Noted the usual CRI QRM. This format is consistent for their
Educational Service – Distance Learning programming, which since
mid-2009 ended at 1245, followed by indigenous music and songs till
1300 (see DX LISTENING DIGEST 9-051). This needs more monitoring
to see if we can hear any lectures in English, as heard in the past.

CHINA
7105, PBS Nei Menggu, 1448, Jan 13. Indeed they have returned
here again with fair to good reception; still heard at 1602 (scheduled

when they were here.

accompanied by chanting/singing; phone conversations; sign off probably

decent chance to hear this station that is normally buried under CNR-1.
1506, Jan 12. In vernacular; the "RTM Kuala Lumpur" news; DJs playing

RFE/RL Launches Radio Station in Pakistan's Pashtun Heartland
http://www.rferl.org/content/Press_Room_Press_Release_Radio_Mashaal_
Launch_/1929887.html
Radio Mashaal Logo
January 14, 2010
(PRAGUE, Czech Republic) On January 15, RFE/RL will begin broadcasting
in the local Pashto dialects to Pakistan and the border regions between
Afghanistan and Pakistan. The new station - called Radio Mashaal ("Torch"
in Pashto) - will offer an alternative to the growing number of Islamic
extremist radio stations in the region.
"There is an urgent need for accurate, objective news and information in
Pakistan's tribal areas," says U.S. Special Representative to Afghanistan
and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke. "Radio Mashaal's commitment to
professional journalism in the local language will be an important
contribution toward peace, reconciliation and democracy in the region."
Veteran Pakistani journalist and author Ahmed Rashid says he hopes Radio
Mashaal "will provide people the kind of information they need to make the
right decisions about their lives."
One surprise in store for listeners will be the reappearance of Haroon
Bacha, a popular Pashtun singer who fled the region last year amid death
threats from the Taliban. The 36-year-old recording artist - whose dozens of
albums, music videos and television appearances made him one of the
most famous entertainers in the region - will be hosting a cultural affairs
show for Radio Mashaal. [see The New York Times: "U.S. Refuge for Singer
Fleeing the Taliban," 10/12/08]
There is an urgent need for accurate, objective news and information in
Pakistan's tribal areas
The first broadcast will air live on January 15 at 4pm local time. Radio
Mashaal's correspondents will be covering local and international news with
in-depth reports on terrorism, politics, women's issues, and health care (with
an emphasis on preventive medicine). The station will feature roundtable
discussions and interviews with tribal leaders and local policymakers in
addition to regular call-in programs aimed at giving listeners the opportunity
to be heard.
Radio Mashaal will operate out of a new bureau in Pakistan and broadcast
from RFE/RL's Prague headquarters. The station will share a frequency with
VOA's Radio Deewa and transmit via FM and shortwave. Online, Radio
Mashaal's website will provide a live stream of its broadcasts.
