Voice of the Report of the Week dropping WBCQ Sundays?
« on: August 25, 2017, 2319 UTC »
While listening to the VORW at 0000z on August 25, the show's host - John - mentioned he had to do a monthly evaluation of his broadcasts and financial standing.  He said unless offerings increased, he thought the Sunday WBCQ transmission would be dropped.  I am guessing he will announce the status of that broadcast during August 31 - September 3 transmissions.

He is getting much feedback from other broadcasts including 9400am which is aimed at Europe but being received throughout Asia.

That would be a shame. I don't copy 7490 well when his show is on (2200) but it's something that improves in the fall and winter, so I was looking forward to that. That said, I get it well on Fridays (Thursday night) at 7490 and 7730, like Helicaster.
