I’ve recorded today the first “midday bells” from Kossuth Radio on 540 kHz today (July 15 2026) at noon CEST.
The distance between the transmitter and the TX is approximatly 632 km (linear distance) and the sound quality is good for daytime reception.
The video link is this one: https://youtu.be/eKyRpjC-khY?is=8g5xrql2abQs3j4z

Kossuth Radio will return at 00:00 local time, 15.07.2026 with temporary programming.
The temporary programming will focus on Radio Plays and Dramas. According to the announcement, they will also be able to hear audio plays whose authors or creators “did not fit into the cultural and political worldview of the power at the time.” Works whose authors did not approve of public media use will also be broadcast, but have now been given the opportunity to do so following the renewal.
According to the information, in addition to previously neglected pieces, legendary audio plays, life interviews and documentaries will also be heard in the future. The program structure will change: live news will adapt to the length of the audio plays, with the exception of the midday news. The schedule of 540 kHz maybe stays the same, no change mentioned.

Radio Khuzestan back on 711kHz.
At 0130ut on 24 May 2026 IRIB provincial station Radio Khuzestan was observed on 711kHz, broadcasting in Persian at this time – Khuzestan province is home to a large Arab minority so likely carries Arabic programming at various times. WRTH and MW List currently have this frequency listed as “inactive”.

590 returns to the air in Omaha.
First noted this afternoon, doing exactly what I suspected they might eventually do — simulcasting Walnut Media’s “Boomer Radio”, already heard on KXCB-1420 (as of a few weeks ago) and KIBM 1490.
At a Boomer Radio listener party back on April 25, I asked Walnut Media President/CEO Patrick Combs about the recent purchase of the 590 frequency. Not wanting to divulge too much, he said with a wry smile, “Changes ARE coming. As they say in the business, ‘Stay tuned for further developments.'”
Because the legal ID recording has not been changed yet, the company, for now, is simply dropping in the following: “Boomer Radio on AM 590, WOW, Omaha“. I don’t know if this means that Walnut Media was successful in their effort to petition the FCC to bring back the nostalgic calls, but one has to wonder. IMHO, they wouldn’t be mentioning “WOW” with no mention of “KXSP” if they hadn’t been. 590 in Omaha had been dark for 1 day short of 4 months.

New application from Halmstad for medium wave broadcasting.
“Halmstad Mellanvåg” has applied to the media authority for a permanent permit to broadcast on medium wave, provisionally 1602 kHz.
According to the application, “the broadcasts shall provide an independent program offering with a focus on local non-commercial audio radio broadcasting on medium wave with a cultural-historical, technical, public education and emergency-related focus.
The purpose is to add another independent voice to the airwaves and thereby strengthen freedom of expression, freedom of information and diversity in the relevant broadcasting area.”
Behind the application is Henrik Pålsson, who previously periodically broadcast Funkisradion on both FM and medium wave.
Sveriges Radio broadcast from 1949 to 1970 on medium wave from Halmstad on 1562 kHz.

According to “Xiaolin Broadcasting Station” (https://kbysradio.wordpress.com/2026/06/14/), monitored by remote SDRs in Taiwan, China resumed all the high power transmissions which have been stopped for some weeks in the second week of June.
1593kHz CNR1 Voice of China – Changzhou NRTA#623 site 400kW
837kHz CNR5 Cross Strait Radio – Quanzhou NRTA#641 site 1000kW
909kHz CNR6 Easy Radio – Quanzhou NRTA#641 site 600kW
1116kHz CNR5 Cross Strait Radio – Nanping NRTA#751 site 600kW
It seemed to be the stop was due to the maintenance works of each site.

Horizon Broadcasting Group has launched News/Talk “News Radio KBNW” 1230 KSBN Spokane/107.1 KBNW-FM Deer Park WA.
The new station is led by Washington State Association of Broadcasters President/CEO Keith Shipman, who owns a cluster of stations in Bend OR including the similarly branded 1340 KBNW, and longtime Spokane operator Roger Nelson who both worked together at KOMO Seattle in the 1980s and 1990s. The company agreed to purchase KSBN in February and to LMA then 107.1 KPKL at the same time. The new brand creates a competitor to iHeartMedia’s 590 KQNT.
