BBC World Service increases broadcasts to Thailand

26 May 2014. As authorities in Thailand take key national and international
channels off air in the country, BBC World Service has increased its
shortwave English-language radio broadcasts to Thailand, to continue the
delivery of its independent news and analysis to audiences there.

From 01:00 GMT on Monday 26 May, BBC World Service expanded its availability
via shortwave to Thailand by adding four hours of broadcasts to its daily
shortwave schedule (all times GMT):

a.. 01:00-03:00 on 11,600 kHz
b.. 03:00-05:00 on 7,370 kHz
c.. 05:00-11:00 on 11,700 kHz

Acting Director, BBC World Service Group, Liliane Landor says: "In times of
national crisis, there is an acute need for accurate, trusted and impartial
news. This is why, with our international TV news channel off the air in
Thailand, we have increased BBC World Service radio broadcasts in the
country."

The above transmissions add to BBC World Service's six hours of shortwave
broadcasts at peak times for Thailand.
