MEDIA ADVISORY
Effective at 1100 UTC (7:00 a.m. EDT) on Wednesday, September 5,
VOA will broadcast around the clock to the Middle East in Arabic
and English. Arabic broadcasts, already up to 9 3/4 hours per
day from the normal 7 1/2, will increase to 13 hours a day.
Eleven hours of English broadcasts will complete the full
schedule.
Beginning September 5, a cooperative arrangement with the Board
for International Broadcasting will enable the Voice of America
to create a Middle East network. Radio Free Europe will lend VOA
transmitters in Gloria, Portugal for broadcasts to Eastern Europe
and the Soviet Union. This will free VOA transmitters in Germany
and Greece to broadcast 24 hours a day exclusively to the Middle
East.
"People in the Middle East and around the world count on us for
full and accurate news," said VOA Director Richard W. Carlson.
"In times of crisis we redouble our efforts to pierce the
information barriers surrounding closed societies. We are a
lifeline to the world for people deprived of information."
Iraq is now jamming VOA Arabic broadcasts to the Middle East with
powerful 500 kilowatt transmitters. VOA continues to broadcast
radio signals over short- and medium-wave (AM) frequencies to the
area, varying those frequencies to get information through the
jamming. To augment its direct radio broadcasts, VOA is using
satellite audio channels made available by Worldnet, the United
States Information Agency television service. The audio signals
can be received via satellite dishes in the region. Along with
expanded news programming, VOA is carrying U.S. Department of
State advisories for Americans in Kuwait and Iraq.
VOA also supplies news to radio stations and news organizations
in the region through a constantly updated call-in news line. In
the three weeks since the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, there have
been 6,500 telephone calls to that line.
The Voice of America is the international broadcasting service of
the United States Information Agency.
