And a story that is been simmering all summer: Lowell's WJUL (91.5)
will apparently have some different programming this fall, because the
Lowell Sun takes over 25 hours a week of the UMass/Lowell station's
programming. ECUADOR. Throughout the building of a second floor on our tiny house
throughout subsequent week I must take away my antennas. The day by day
newspaper Il Messaggero has anticipated that the transmitter buildings
and towers of those networks will be demolished next September 1st.
Radios Subasio, Maria and RTL are still present in Rome on other
frequencies, respectively 94.5 FM, 95.1 FM, and 102.1 FM.``
In a related growth two weeks in the past, the Italian Supreme Court
reversed a lower courtroom ruling and stated that Radio Vaticano officials
should stand trial in regard to alleged criminal allowance of Radio
Vaticano transmitters to exceed stringent Italian electromagnetic
radiation standards, said to be the hardest in all Europe. The radio stations involved are RTL 102.5 on
91.45 FM, Radio Subasio 94.0 FM, and Radio Maria 94.8 FM. Last yr, a set drive by the parks district raised about $400,
after spending cash on radio and newspaper ads. We were with the Akawio Indians within the upper Mazaruni
district the place they scrimped to purchase just a few batteries for their flimsy
little analog radios every week, deftly working the dial every night
for the BBC, VOA, and Radio Netherlands, but no Voice Of Guyana ---
not enough money to get out that far.
In accordance with a letter that is been sent out by the
station's present student board to station alumni, the Sun will
program a local information-discuss format on the station from 5-10 AM weekdays,
working from a brand new studio inside Lowell's Tsongas Arena. KOLE will get out pretty well, and has been
heard by me from a couple different QTHs in Iowa over the past decade

The promoting of warfare - Spinning to Win on BBC World Service
How governments sell warfare to voters is explored in Spinning to Win from
28 July on the BBC World Service. This suspension of certainly one of
the few press freedom organisations to have consultative standing with
ECOSOC is farce of the kind that more and more characterizes the
commission on human rights.
GUYANA. I spent some time in Guyana a couple of years again and listened
to the VOG daily and in addition saw them in action at many public
events, so it was nice to listen to you reward them for their efforts a few
months again. The UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), the physique that took this
resolution, never invited Reporters Without Borders to explain its
motion. But it surely was an interview by the tradition secretary, Tessa Jowell, that
seems to have goaded the BBC chairman, Gavyn Davies, into action. Despite this, Mr Davies and his colleagues felt provoked beyond
endurance by last weekend's claim by the previous minister Peter
Mandelson that the BBC was to blame for Dr Kelly's loss of life and by
subsequent hints from Tessa Jowell, the Culture Secretary, that the
company's governors weren't fulfilling their statutory
obligations. The BBC has grow to be increasingly involved concerning the mutterings over
charter renewal: Gerald Kaufman, chairman of the Commons media select
committee, has used the Iraq dossier story to justify a name to clip
the BBC's wings by bringing it fully underneath the remit of the new
communications regulator Ofcom. Reporters Without Borders in the present day publishes a report which particulars the
excesses, shortcomings and accelerating decline of this commission,
which dictatorships comparable to Cuba and China have taken over in an effort to
strip it of all substance.

as a result of activists with the organisation staged a protest during the
inauguration of the fee's last session in March against the
decision to let Libya chair the fee. The results of the vote on the suspension of the consultative standing
of Reporters with out borders:
In favour (27) : Azerbaijan, Benin, Bhutan, Brazil, Burundi, China,
Congo, Cuba, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Iran, Jamaica, Kenya,
Libya, Malaysia, Mozambique, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Qatar, Russian
Federation, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. They appear to have achieved their intention in beefing up broadcasting
to Cuba, which as far as I'm concerned is just not much more than a sop to
the exile neighborhood. Most had been prosaic, typically ramshackle, and even
downright shabby, held along with seemingly little more than
Valerie Singleton's well-known sticky-again plastic.
