I noticed this from the recent RN Newsletter:

*** The Weekly Documentary ***

During the Cold War, Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty played a
crucial role in the struggle against communism.

But with the collapse of the Iron Curtain, the broadcasters needed a
new purpose. After the 11 September 2001 attacks in New York and
Washington, they were mobilised to support the United States' war on
terrorism, in an unprecedented effort to win the hearts and minds of
Muslims.

Now, more than half of the 28 language services managed by Radio Free
Europe and Radio Liberty broadcast to parts of the world that are
predominantly Muslim.

Hélène Michaud examines this change in focus, and asks whether the
ambition to provide impartial information can be reconciled with the
demands of US foreign policy.

Broadcast times on SW (UTC): 10.27 (Australia/Asia/Far East), 12.27
(Eastern USA), 14.30 (South Asia), 18.27 & 20.00 (Africa), 00.27
(Eastern USA), 01.27 (Central USA), 05.27 (Western USA & New Zealand)
