Argentine foreign Broadcaster’s Return to Shortwave

RAE (Radiodifusión Argentina al Exterior), Argentina’s foreign broadcaster that has been plagued by technical problems for a number of years, has two of its programs relayed by WRMI in Okeechobee, Florida, two hours a day. It’s currently only on air in Spanish and in English on five days or nights a week respectively right now, but podcasts should be available in Chinese, French, English German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish (see menu at the top of RAE’s website). RAE plans to make a full comeback on shortwave from their own transmission site at General Pacheco after successful restoration of the equipment.

Apart from information from a rather official angle, RAE also airs cultural programs, and samples from the country’s admirable musical landscape – traditional, contemporary, and somewhere in between.

WRMI carries a number of broadcasters, in what is called a brokered broadcasting format.
