I"m hearing that the strike of #BBCWorldService journalists, reported by Private Eye recently, is getting ever more likely.

For any academics out there, I hope you will show solidarity with the journalists who work their butts off with ever-smaller teams. If programmes like Newshour, Newsday, The Newsroom, Weekend, and/or Business Daily don't cross the picket line even by telephone or Zoom. Not if you expect sympathy about the currrent plight of universities.

HFCC A26 Transmission and Programme schedules / BBC World Service’s Internet Focus “backfires”

The HFCC have published their global B25 A26 shortwave plan, taking effect mostly on March 29 (with some likely exceptions in North America). The organization says it seeks to eliminate "inaccuracies and ‘reserve’ frequency requirements from the global schedule database".

The HFCC global shortwave plans are among the most meaningful reference points to find or identify broadcasts on shortwave, arguably along with Eibi Space, and the BDXC’s frequently updated DX Guides.

While shortwave usage is indeed shrinking, international broadcasters may sometimes jump to premature conclusions. Recent reports suggest that the BBC World Service’s shift to online media has "backfired". Shortwave isn’t mentioned in particular here, but the BBC had been warned:

As transmitters can’t go on strike or lobby politicians, they can be cut with the promise of the internet. There are many pros for internet services and streaming in general, such as ease of implementation, low running costs and less need for specialized technical staff,

RedTech’s Ruxandra Obreja wrote in February 2023, adding that

However, the most important attribute of shortwave, beyond its free availability, is the anonymity it offers listeners. This may not be so important in, say, Britain or the United States, but it is significant in authoritarian states like China or Myanmar. The truth is that millions of people still rely on free-to-air radio in the car or at home for news, information, entertainment, education and the increasingly essential emergency warnings.

There may be a bit of a silver lining now, for the BBC:

[t]he BBC World Service will see funding increased by an additional £33 million over the next three years, Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper

was expected to confirm last week, according to the "Independent".

After decades of BBC-bashing by Labour and Tories alike, March 2026 seems to become BBC appreciation month.
