White House nominates new Head for USAGM
The White House has noninated Sarah B. Rogers, currently the U.S. Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, to be Chief Executive Officer of the United States Agency for Global Media. Her nomination was sent to the Senate on Thursday.
A slightly gleeful Yahoo article notes that
#foreignRadio #RadioFreeAsia #RadioFreeEurope #USA #VoiceOfAmerica[t]wo-time failed gubernatorial candidate Lake was removed from the role after U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan administration nominee, ruled on Saturday that she had been running the agency in violation of the law, labeling her a “de facto” CEO.

Collecting Updates on Radio Free Asia (RFA)
The Independent, on Wednesday, carried a story about the resumption of Radio Free Asia (RFA) programs in Mandarin, Tibetan, and Uyghur, apparently reacting to a "social-media" post by RFA CEO Bay Fang on Wednesday or Tuesday. According to Bay’s post, their programs are
already making waves. RFA’s Uyghur Service aired a report over the weekend about how children of detainees in Xinjiang are being forced into manual labor at a young age instead of going to school.
She links to the article in question – a translation engine should be able to give us an idea about its content.
As far as I can see, this should not be misread as children being detained for forced labor, but as children of detained parents having no other choice than to work to support themselves and their remaining family people. Lack of financial means for paying school fees also seems to play a role.
No frequencies are mentioned by RFA or The Independent, but it seems that Mandarin programs are only available online, while programs in Tibetan and Uyghur programs can be heard both on the internet (if available in the target areas), and on shortwave, from 23:00 to 23:15 UTC on 7620 kHz, and from 01:00 to 01:15 UTC on 7580 kHz respectively, probably Sunday through Friday).
RFA spokesman Rohit Mahajan is quoted as saying a week earlier that the station "partnered with private transmission providers to reach listeners in Tibet, North Korea and Myanmar".

We welcome news that #RadioFreeAsia will resume broadcasts in #China after facing devastating cuts by the #Trump administration last year.

Radio Free Asia has resumed broadcasts to people in China, its CEO has said, after cuts by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration last year largely forced the government-funded outlet to cease operations. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/18/asia-pacific/radio-free-asia-china/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #radiofreeasia #china #us #donaldtrump #republicans

Radio Free Asia returns to Shortwave in Tibetan and Uyghur
Radio Free Asia (RFA) reportedly resumed transmissions in Tibetan and in Uyghur on February 10th, with a program in Tibetan from 23:00 to 23:15 UTC on 7620 kHz, and a program in Uyghur from 01:00 to 01:15 UTC on 7580 kHz. Compared to what may have once been 273 hours per week in Tibetan and 77 hours per week in Uyghur, that’s not a big deal, but it may offer Tibertans and Uyghurs an open window on world affairs. Compared to Voice of America (VoA), RFA has so far managed to maintain its lawful autonomy against the Trump administration, and is likely to get safer funding again, as decided by Congress in January.
Following that, RFA chief communications officer Rohit Mahajan was quoted by Reuters newsagency as saying that Korean programs should be back on January 15, and that Tibetan and Uyghur services would also be restored.

#États-Unis : RSF s'alarme de l'interruption des programmes de #RadioFreeAsia & du licenciement de ses équipes, prévu cette semaine, à la suite d'une décision de D. Trump. La disparition de RFA prive des millions de personnes d’une source d’info libre, un cadeau inestimable aux régimes autoritaires.

On Friday, #RFA will start laying off dozens of its remaining #journalists, close its regional offices in large Asian cities like Istanbul & Yangon, Myanmar, & halt language services targeting #China, #Vietnam, #NorthKorea, #Myanmar & #Cambodia.
The news group’s expected closure can be attributed to the #Trump admin’s broad efforts to cut its funding, & to the govt shutdown, which is entering week 5.…It is unclear if or when #RadioFreeAsia will resume its operations, even after the govt reopens. -

#RadioFreeAsia Will Halt News Operations Amid Shutdown
Until this month, #RFA had successfully resisted #Trump officials who had tried to render it obsolete.
RFA, 1 of 4 federally funded news organizations the Trump admin has aimed to close, will shut down its news operations on Friday for the first time since its founding in 1996, removing one of the few #independent #journalism outlets in #Asia countries with limited press freedoms.
