Last chance to hear WMR on 5840 and 15805 kHz
« on: September 14, 2019, 1129 UTC »
In a completely unexpected move the Danish authorities has withdrawn the
permission to use out of band frequencies (on a non interference basis) for
World Music Radio (WMR). This means that WMR will be ceasing operations on
5840 and 15805 kHz tomorrow Sunday September 15th 2009 at 2200 UTC.
WMR may return to shortwave – using frequencies inside the official SW bands
– but this may take several months.

Meanwhile WMR continues being available via internet streaming at www.wmr.dk
– and hopefully also soon on medium wave 927 kHz in Copenhagen.

Reception reports may be sent to wmr@wmr.dk - or to World Music Radio, PO
Box 112, DK-8960 Randers SŘ, Denmark (please enclose return postage).

I confirm that the internet stream below has no buffering problems here in Hohhot city of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region despite China's great firewall.  :) :) :)

About "out of band" and "non interference basis" (NIB) :

> 5840 is inside the extensions of the 49mb, OK for NIB
> 15805 is outside the extensions of the 19mb

so we don't know exactly the conditions of the licence,
but probably that licence was ending, and was not renewed for some breach.

As you may have seen on this site, Radio OZ-Viola has no problem so far, and still can use 5825, and was unhappy to see Focus Int. grabbing the frequency for three full days.
