FWIW, I logged the VOA in English with decent shortwave audio at the
following times last weekend while DXPeditioning at Pennsylvania's French Creek
State Park:
0300-0430 UTC (Africa service)
1200-1300 UTC (Asia/Pacific service)
1600-1700 UTC (Africa service)
2000-2200 UTC (Africa service)
Admittedly it isn't as easy as it used to be to catch the VOA, and the
spoken-word program variety has fallen off (Coast to Coast, Main Street, and
Dateline are all kaput), but the USA hasn't totally lost its "Voice".

Subject: [Swprograms] VOA News Now
In doing some research on the VOA site, I note that the VOA
frequency schedule has shortwave coverage available virtually 24/7.
There are far fewer frequencies than has been the case historically; and VOA
News Now broadcasts, in most cases, to just one region of the world at a
time. Nonetheless, there had been reports that the VOA would be reducing
its broadcast day to as little as eleven or fewer hours a day during the B04
season.
Does that mean that the protests registered over those
previously reported plans have had a measure of success?

Just got a note from Kim Elliott -- he hosted today's "Talk To America",
interviewing Richard Sambrook, who now heads up the BBC World Service,
succeeding Mark Byford (who was kicked upstairs).
Unfortunately I don't see any links to "on-demand" audio for TTA...if Kim
points one out to me I'll pass it on.
Sorry this came late.
