AWR to add more Asian services to shortwave


Adventist World Radio says it plans to add Lao, Thai and Hmong to its roster of langauges. Programmes in Lao will be broadcast both on shortwave from AWR’s station on Guam and from FM stations located in Thailand across from the capital city of Vientiane, Laos. Thai programmes will be aired on shortwave from Guam and on two FM stations in Bangkok. Hmong-speaking people are scattered throughout southern China and the northern areas of Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. Programmes in this language will be broadcast on shortwave from Guam.
