Либерия
MONROVIA , 26 May (IRIN) - Star Radio, an internationally-sponsored independent
radio station that was shut down by former president Charles Taylor, returned
to Liberia's airwaves this week after a five-year absence. 
Star Radio started broadcasting in 1997 with the aim of providing a voice for
all Liberians in the run-up to elections that brought Taylor to power halfway
through the country's 14-year civil war. 
It soon established itself as the primary source of independent and unbiased
information for Liberians, but in 2000 Star Radio was taken off the air for allegedly
transmitting hate messages against Taylor's government. 
After a five-year absence, Star Radio can now be heard on FM for 17 hours a day
in the area around the capital Monrovia. 
Residents in rural Liberia can listen to two hours of programmes per day broadcast
on short wave. 
Many ordinary Liberians welcomed the return of the popular radio station, which
is backed by the Swiss-based Hirondelle Foundation. 
"Star has a reputation for credibility and accurate reporting in Liberia," Derek
Sherman, a high school student, told IRIN by telephone from Taylor's former heartland
Gbarnga. 
"Its resumption of operations, especially on the short-wave frequency will bridge
the information gap in Gbarnga and other rural parts where we only listen to
community radio, which are not properly equipped and whose staff are not sufficiently
trained," he added. 
During the run-up to presidential and parliamentary elections on 11 October,
Star Radio will broadcast voter education programmes as well as quizzing the
multitude of candidates. 
"We will strive to meet the expectation of the general public by broadcasting
balanced news and programmes," station manager James Morlu told IRIN on Wednesday
afternoon as the first transmission began. 
Gyude Bryant, the head of the broad-based transitional government that took over
after Taylor was forced into exile as part of an August 2003 peace deal, lifted
the ban on Star Radio eighteen months ago. 
However, Morlu said that funding problems had delayed the reopening of the radio
station until this week. 
"Now we have secured funding from the European Union and some of its member countries
like the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway among others," he said. 
Robin White, the retired editor of the BBC World Service for Africa, has been
brought in to help launch Star Radio's news programmes. 
Eugene Nagbe, a supporter of Taylor during the civil war who is now Minister
for Post and Telecommunications, welcomed the radio station's return to the air.

"From all records available at the ministry, there was no justification for the
station closure by the government then and it was closed down without investigation,"
he said. (Ulis and from http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/IRIN/df683d66c27e68559b732fe2c81a49ca.htm

7120, 0830-1200, Wantok Radio Light, Port Moresby May 23
Tentative reception of this new PNG Christian outlet first noted with
religious-sounding music fading in at 0830. Four musical tones noted at
0900:20, followed by possible ID by woman. Signal improved very slightly
past 0900, with continuous Christian contemporary and possibly PNG church
music. The language sounded Pidgin at times, but was much too weak for
positive language identification. At 1101:38, I heard a distinctive 'Bird of
Paradise' call (national bird of PNG, I believe). An MP3 recording of this
can be heard at: http://www.guyatkins.com/files/tentative_WRL_7120khz.mp3.
(Guy Atkins-WA - CumbreDX 1134)

7120, 0825-1030, Wantok Radio Light, Port Moresby May 25
First noted fading up above the noise prior to 0830, with contemporary
Christian music alternating with talks or devotionals. The signal was still
extremely low until past 0930, when it strengthened enough to make out an ID
by a male announcer exactly at 0959:38: 'This is Wantok Radio Light,
broadcasting to Papua New Guinea on... meterband(?)...'. It took a number of
replays of my recording to be certain of the ID, but it is definitely there.
At 1000 I heard introductory music and mention of 'Welcome to Focus on the
Family...with author and... Dr. James Dobson' at the start of this popular
Christian program. It also fits the broadcast schedule at
http://www.wantokradio.net which shows Focus on the Family at 7-7:30pm local
Port Moresby time. Very pleased with this definite log of this new PNG
outlet! I also received an e-mail from Dave Olson, engineer at the station,
who said that the 'Bird of Paradise' call I heard at 1101 on 5/23 is
actually a warbling siren at the beginning of their Monday evening program
'Community Policing'. (Guy Atkins-WA - hard-core-dx 29, 26)
