Voice of America cuts shortwave broadcasts

Voice of America is reducing some of its radio transmissions this
weekend and ending shortwave broadcasts to regions where audiences
have alternative ways of receiving VOA news and information programs

The transmission reductions allow VOA to comply with budget cuts
required by sequestration and to avoid furloughs of staff members.

When the new broadcast schedule goes into effect on March 31st,
cross-border shortwave and medium wave broadcasts to Albania, Georgia,
Iran and Latin America will be curtailed, along with English language
broadcasts to the Middle East and Afghanistan.

The new broadcast schedule calls for reductions in some shortwave and
medium wave radio broadcasts in Cantonese, Dari/Pashto, English to
Africa, Khmer, Kurdish, Mandarin, Portuguese, Urdu and Vietnamese.
