BBC World Service resumes MW broadcasts to Israel

 The BBC World Service has confirmed that MW transmissions to Israel
and other parts of the Middle East will resume for 10hrs per day on
1323kHz starting on Friday, June 7.

 This will give listeners breakfast listening and then drive-time and
evening coverage from about 4pm to 10pm.

 The morning hours are as 02:59:30 to 06:59:30 GMT and the evening
schedule will be 12:59:30 – 18:59:30 GMT.

 Steve Titherington, World Service Commissioning Editor, says: “We had
a huge response to the end of MW transmissions in Israel and we are
responding positively to listeners’ demands for a return to of the BBC
broadcasts. Cutbacks mean we can’t return to a full day-long schedule,
but we will broadcast at times when we hope audiences are most likely
to listen. We want to thank our listeners for their feedback and would
welcome any further comment they have about how suitable these new
broadcasting times are for tuning into the BBC World Service.”

As previously announced four hours per day of World Service English
will continue on 720kHz until 22:59:30 on 21 June.
