WBCQ’S new Radio Angela Service on
4790 kHz, which has been propagation testing during February, will
begin its regular broadcast schedule on March 1 world date
(February 28 US date)
using the nightly hours of 10pm
Eastern US time to Midnight Eastern US time (currently 0300-0500
UTC, the UTC will change with daylight savings time). That two
hour block will feature music and radio theater programs from
around the world, several of which are appearing for the very
first time anywhere. The full schedule will be published on the
WBCQ website and various other places in cyberspace within a few
days. The March schedule will have a few repeat slots as a
second wave of new programs prepares for April rollouts.

On February 28 world date from
0300-0500 UTC (US time and date February 27, 10pm-Midnight EST), a
two hour special program, A Taste of Radio
Angela, will be presented featuring
clips from various programs that will be part of the service.

This special 2-hour broadcast block
on 4790 kHz is sponsored by Angela and Allan Weiner and curated by
“Uncle Bill” Tilford, who also hosts three of the programs.
Propagation testing during February has demonstrated that
reception is mostly favorable in Eastern and Central North America
from 7PM Eastern US onwards, and although the signal is aimed
southwest from the transmitter in Monticello, Maine, it also lands
very well in parts of Europe, especially parts of Ireland,
Portugal, Germany and Italy but also in several other countries to
a lesser extent.
Airtime will be available for
purchase outside of the 10pm-Midnight program block with priority
given to music (especially but not exclusively new music) and
other entertainment or cultural programs that align with Radio
Angela’s mission to become a stellar entertainment and cultural
institution on shortwave. Inquiries about airtime should be
directed to
