[Swprograms] Deutsche Welle's new schedule: Really not that much different

["Richard Cuff" <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

See http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,2367858,00.html

It has been represented (perhaps "speculated" is a better word)
elsewhere that most feature programming will disappear, but it appears
this really isn't the case.

Things are sorted along new themes:

-- "Economy, Ecology, Technology - The Information Half-Hour" (even half-hours)

-- "The Arts, Lifestyle, Entertainment - The Culture Half-Hour" (odd half-hours)

-- "Weekend Selection"

Prime-time evening hours to North America (0100-0400) continue to be
the 55-minute "Newslink Plus", so you'll have to listen on-demand or
on shortwave for the other feature programs.

Newslink is indeed becoming more of a "rolling news" format, with more
frequent updates than currently offered; currently, new versions are
produced every 3 hours; the new schedule will set the refresh cycle to
once every 2 hours.

The new A-07 program schedule is available at the same link above via PDF.
