VOA Dari and Pashto back on MW/SW.
In mid-June, the Voice of America resumed broadcasts in Dari and Pashto on MW and SW. Can’t say that this programming is still branded as ‘Radio Ashna’ because I heard only something like ‘Radio Sedaye Amerika’. In addition, I couldn’t find it on the web sites of VOA Dari and Pashto services.
The schedule is:
1630-1645 UTC Mon-Fri in Dari 972 kHz (presumably Orzu, Tajikistan) and 11575 kHz (presumably Kuwait)
1645-1700 UTC Mon-Fri in Pashto 972 kHz (presumably Orzu, Tajikistan) and 11575 kHz (presumably Kuwait)
One can find them also in the IBB Monitor System at https://ibbmonitor.appspot.com/sounds/query?brc=VOA&date=2025-07-13,2025-07-14,2025-07-15&starttime=15:00&endtime=17:30
