[Swprograms] O`Reilly, Afghanada, and CBC vs RCI

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** CANADA. RCI is still carrying one hour of Sounds Like Canada, M-F at 15-16
UT on 9515, 13655 and 17820, but which? It must be the first hour, because Nov
2 at 1631 it was SLC continuing rather than O`Reilly on the Art of Persuasion,
which occupies the final half of the second hour on Thursdays from CBC Radio
One; thus RCI also deprives SWLs of this terrific series, halfway thru its run.
A CBC repeat on Saturday afternoons doesn`t make it to SW either.

The same fate awaits the new series starting this week, Afghanada, which takes
the final semihour of SLC on Fridays. But in this case, RCI has scheduled that
in on Saturdays at 2330 on 6100, UT Sundays at 0030 on 9755. Here`s the CBC
blurb about it:

``War through the Eyes of Canadian Soldiers: They expect to be peacekeepers but
instead are sent into battle. CBC Radio proudly presents Afghanada... a
12-episode fictional drama that probes the war in Afghanistan through Canadian
Soldiers' eyes. the 30-minute episode begin Friday, November 3 at 11:30 am and
run to January 19, 2007.``

Its original airing is 8:30-9 pm local on Thursdays, which means 0030 UT in the
Atlantic zone feed via webcasts, repeated 1/2/3/4 hours later. The Friday
repeats start at 1530 UT +1/2/3/4 hours. Fridays at 1730 it`s also on the RCI1
satellite and webcast, as well as Saturdays at 2330. 

Add a sesquiminute to all those day-times, tho evening airings may start a
minute earlier. CBC schedulers have to know exactly when each show really
starts. Why is it too much trouble to publish the exact times for the rest of
us? (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
