The Voice of Vietnam’s Way to Celebrate
Both listeners among the German and Japanese-speaking audience seem to feel that the Voice of Vietnam hasn’t paid much attention to the foreign-language services’ respective anniversaries (the German programs first aired on March 1, 2006, and the Japanese programs first went on air on April 29, 1963).
Apparently, the [German-language department’s] anniversary wasn’t greatly solemnized and a public-relations opportunity was therefore wasted internally and externally,
Germany’s "Radio-Kurier" noted in its April edition this year. The paper added that the anniversary did get a mention in the decentralized German letterbox program.
The International Shortwave Report (国際短波放送情報), a Japanese blog, seems to see it the same way, if Google Translate is correct:
Yesterday marked the 63rd anniversary of the station’s Japanese-language broadcast, but no news or special programs related to this were aired; it was a regular programming schedule.
The perspectives from in- and outside the "Voice" probably differ.
The station, then only North Vietnam’s foreign radio station, was founded on September 7, 1945, and seems to have seen itself as a multi-language unit since, rather than as a combination of standalone-language departments. In its own words, in September 2016,
[t]he Voice of Vietnam’s world service (VOV5) broadcasts in twelve languages: English, French, Japanese, Russian, Chinese, German, Thai, Lao, Cambodian, Indonesian, Spanish, and Vietnamese. Since the first broadcast on September 7, 1945, VOV5 has made giant leaps forward, meeting the information needs of foreigners and overseas Vietnamese.
The same VoV article quotes an overseas Vietnamese, a Chinese, and a French listener – each of them is quoted to celebrate the complete organization’s anniversary.
So last year marked the Voice of Vietnam’s 80th anniversary in the first place. No department was or is supposed to tower over the rest of the organization. Besides, while the moderation styles sometimes differ widely between the departments, the message is defined by the Communist Party’s propaganda office. It has been the same for every language service anyway, and reportedly, the authorities’ control over news outlets will only tighten further.
Chinese listeners won’t complain: VoV’s Chinese service opened along with the complete radio station, even if only in Cantonese at first. Standard Chinese programs followed "shortly afterwards" (VoV didn’t even care to name an exact date, and apparently, noone took offense).

China’s “Shortwave Broadcasting Service Revitalization Co-creation Plan”
A forum was held at Shougang Convention & Exhibition Center in Peking on April 24, as part of the 32nd China International Radio & Television Information Network Exhibition (CCBN2026) there. The forum was directed by SARFT Security Department (电视总局安全传输保障司), in charge of supervision, management, and technical support of secure broadcast television broadcasts, and construction of the national emergency broadcasting systems. The event brought together
regulators, experts, scholars, and business leaders, to discuss multi-channel technological innovation and integrated development paths, focusing on new broadcasting networks, terrestrial, satellite, cable, and wireless technologies.
The forum launched a "Shortwave Broadcasting Service Revitalization Co-creation Plan", with the goal of "innovative cases".
This sounds rather blurred, but probably builds on existing, individual and possibly so far decentralized approaches to broadcasting in various regions. It may include both analog and digital (DRM) shortwave and mediumwave broadcasting, but the results of the current case-finding activities are yet to be presented. A case in point appears to be the adoption of emergency broadcasting, as well as a general flow of information, into every car.

A French parliamentary committee has voted to endorse a controversial report into the country's public #broadcasting networks. The report, drafted by Charles #Alloncle – an ally of the far right National Rally – outlines sweeping reforms and cost cutting measures. Some MPs, however, say the report is politically biased and didn't want it to be made public out of fear of "legitimising" what they see as false claims about the media.

‘We will not give up’: protesters pack Vilnius square in defence of the public broadcaster.
Around 30000 people gathered in Cathedral Square in Vilnius on Saturday in defence of free speech.
Demonstrators turned their anger on both the ruling Social Democrats and President Nausėda over proposed changes to the law governing Lithuania’s public broadcaster LRT.

Getting past the “Persian Paradox” – on Shortwave
Weekend at Last
Time to sit back and to listen to the radio while taking it easy. But there are a few frequencies that I’ll try not to miss today and tomorrow.
Pop Shop Radio (British Columbia, Canada) is one of them, on 1467 kHz at 23:00 UTC tonight (Update: it would have been on Friday night). It will probably be followed by Radio Six International (Lismore, Scotland) at 00:00 UTC. Pop Shop Radio operator Tony Pavick is particularly interested in reports on transatlantic reception.
Both transmissions are scheduled on the Romoules mediumwave transmitter in Southern France.
Radio News
(1) Deutsche Welle
A protest with several hundred participants reportedly took place at Berlin Alexander Squaare and the Brandenburg Gate on April 22 (Wednesday afternoon). VerDi and Deutscher Journalistenverband, two labor unions representing media workers, had registered the demonstration. The demonstrators reacted to the announcement that about 160 full-time jobs at Deutsche Welle are in danger after budget cuts of 21 million euros by Germany’s national parliament, the Bundestag.
Meantime, a spokesperson for the cultural minister countered the protests, saying that Deutsche Welle had seen funding rise by almost 100 million euros during the past eight years.
(2) Iran / Reporters without Borders
Reporters without Borders, in cooperation with "Radio for Peace International" (RFPI, not to be confused with the one broadcasting from Costa Rica in the 1980s) and the news org "Iranwire", have announced shortwave transmissions on 9770 kHz, apparently daily from 08:30 to 09:30 UTC and from 19:30 to 20:30 UTC (Midday and 23:00 Tehran time respectively). These transmissions are scheduled to start on Monday.
Deutsche Welle staff, according to a former employee, celebrated a "Persian Paradox" in 2009, i. e. they felt vindicated by being blocked by Iran’s authorities and consequently declining or dying traffic. While DW’s Persian service has remained an online service at Deutsche Welle for almost 15 years, Reporters without Borders appear to be taking shortwave seriously.
The Deutsche Welle shortwave transmissions were terminated in 2011 and haven’t been revived since.
