  1. NASB Conference 2026 / “America@250: Due Diligence” on WRMI

    The NASB, the U.S. National Association of Broadcasters, holds its annual meeting in Birmingham, Alabama, on May 28 and 29, 2026. Eike Bierwirth and Steve Herman will be among the speakers there. Bierwirth is scheduled to present his publicly available online databases of shortwave transmissions. Herman, Voice of America national reporter, is currently on an "excused absence" and/or among the VoA staff on "administrative leave" while the Trump administration continues its campaign to gain control over the country’s external broadcasters, including VoA.

    Herman currently works as is now the Executive Director of the Jordan Center for Journalism Advocacy and Innovation at the University of Mississippi, and will "announce details of his organization’s new weekly podcast and radio program (including on shortwave)".

    The program, "America@250: Due Diligence", is set to air June through December on more than 50 radio stations as part of the country’s semiquincentennial". Among thesebroadcasters is WRMI, where it can be heard on Saturdays at 16:00 UTC on 9395 kHz and on Sunday mornings at 00:00 UTC on 5050 kHz shortwave.

  3. The #WRMI #shortwave station is still running. It's one of the sites the #ShortwaveRadiogram is beamed out of.

    Here's a video some folks made of the inside of WRMI 8 years ago

  4. Radio Slovakia International is important – Keep it up!

    Just e-mailed:

    Dear Madam or Sir

    I have learned with concern that Slovak Television and Radio plans to dismantle Radio Slovakia International.

    Having been a listener for at least 15 years, especially to your German service, I owe them many insights into Slovak culture and your country’s economy, from general data to the significance of inland water transport. It is also great to listen to German tourists being interviewed by the English service. RSI plays in a particular radio league: it is a truly European station, from the heart of our continent.

    It is true that such a service costs money, but I believe that it is worth every euro spent on it. Slovakia has become more visible on many people’s minds because of her international radio station.

    From Christmas and Easter customs to castles, landscapes and narration, Radio Slovakia has kept us listeners both informed and curious about your country. Don’t flick it away. It is your country’s voice to the world.

    Yours faithfully
