KTWR Mid-A22 Schedule Changes

 Hi Everyone,

    Thanks for the help with the slide show timing. We learned more about how our content server works with the file server that contains the pictures that we showed. We also learned how few listeners could actually take advantage of the slide show. From what we saw, most listeners in Japan used receiver systems that could view the slides. Most listeners in India use standalone receivers that cannot view the slides. If this perception is incorrect, please let us know. We are considering switching over to using Journaline to enhance the listening experience for more people.

    In other news, KTWR will be modifying its broadcast schedule at mid-season. Effective 3 July, the following schedule will apply:

KTWR Digital Broadcasts

 

DRM broadcasts (Effective 3 July 2022):

 

                                                                           Designated

Day              Time (UTC)        Frequency        Coverage Area         Language


Saturday     1100-1127          12000 kHz          China                       English

 

Saturday     1128-1230          9910 kHz            Japan                      Japanese, English

                         

M-F              1215-1245         9910 kHz            China                      Mandarin


Sunday        1500-1545        15205 kHz           India                        English


Sunday        1600-1630        15390 kHz           India                        South Indian languages


    The schedule change was triggered by requests to air the South Asian broadcasts later in the evening and by the addition of Macedonian Call to the end of the English block. It would not fit in the current schedule. DXers Diary will still be at the beginning of the English DRM block to India.
