** INDIA. AIR Vividh Bharati Service, 9870, is usually well audible
here in the mornings, mostly music, but Nov 27 at 1435 I was hearing a
speech in what I think was English, but could barely understand a word
due to heavy accent, polar flutter and some distortion. Outro at 1440
as having been the Prime Minister speaking from the Delhi studio; no
doubt about the Mumbai terrorist attacks (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)
Yes Glenn the audio for the Prime Minister's national address was
terrible even when tuning in via digital methods. When the address was
live I quickly switched between APTN Direct (A digital TV news feed
circuit for broadcasters on Asiasat 2), CNN (Intelsat 8), BBC World
News (Intelsat 2) and Indian news outlets IBN Lokmat and MH-1 News
(Asiasat 4). All outlets had the same muffled and distorted audio. The
whole point of a national address is to provide effective
communication, in this case I think that a better microphone and
attention to the audio levels would have been desirable.
I have a strong interest in events in Mumbai being a regular visitor
and frequent guest at the both hotels. I have been monitoring the
Indian news outlets. If you are in the Asia-Pacific region and have a
C-Band dish the satellites are alive with feeds. Around 15 Indian news
channels are running non-stop coverage, you can view many free-to-air
on Asiasat 3 and Asiasat 4.
