At Geneva Community Radio, we remain committed to bringing you news
stories that matter. In an American media landscape dominated by
meaningless stories that pass as serious news, GCR strives to bring you
in depth reports from some of the world's top public broadcasters.
Effective Monday, December 16th, GCR will make changes to its international news lineup.
We
regret to inform our listeners that we no longer have access to on
demand audio from IBA, or Kol Israel. This is because the World Radio
Network (WRN) has suspended its audio on demand service. GCR relied on
this service to bring us the IBA feed each weekday morning, and there
does not appear to be a suitable replacement for this feed on the IBA
website. GCR will continue to air "live" WRN programming from 2:00 to
6:00 A.M. Monday to Friday.
In Kol Israel's former time slot, we will now air a 15 minute version of Deutsche Welle's news magazine, Journal.
GCR
is also very pleased to announce the addition of a new broadcaster to
our international news lineup. Effective Monday, GCR will begin airing
select programming from the Voice of America (VOA), the flagship US
international broadcasting service. This will give GCR listeners yet
another perspecitve on the events shaping our world.
We
will air two daily news magazines from VOA. Daybreak Africa, weekday
mornings at 6:35, and International Edition, weeknights at 7:05, as part
of a new nightly news hour. The second half of that hour will be
occupied by Deutsche Welle's Africa Link, now at a more appropriate
time, as the show is intended from afternoon/evening clearance.
As always, we welcome your feedback about these changes. Feel free to e-mail or call the station with your comments.
Thanks for listening, and we sincerely hope you will enjoy the new shows.
