Jamming shortwave, too many repeats and Americast

Over to You

Available for over a year

Despite international pressure, China is continuing to try and block shortwave broadcasts in parts of Asia. We hear from the BBC’s distribution team about how Over To You listeners can help report the problem. Plus a listener tells us his views on what he sees as an excessive number of repeats on the World Service. And, ahead of a longer interview with the team in a few weeks’ time, we hear listener feedback on Americast. Presenter: Rajan Datar Producer: Howard Shanno. A Whistledown production for the BBC World Service
