Radio Kuwait English Service Anomaly - 15540 kHz
« on: January 30, 2015, 1846 UTC »
For the past few days I have been noticing that Radio Kuwait's Arabic Service has been broadcast in place of the English Service on 15540 kHz. With propagation of this frequency still being poor at this time of year, I can only hear it from 1800 UTC to around 1900 UTC, both in New York using my own receiver and using the WebSDR in the Netherlands.

Of course, this may very well be a simple error with the feeds, but every day at 1830 UTC the English news bulletin is broadcast, and then at 1840 UTC the feed goes straight back to the Arabic Service.

Is this simply human error or is this their new English Service? I have no problems with their Arabic Service but I always enjoyed the musical variety their English Service provided.
