Looks like we're putting the full push on Uzbekistan....
VOA to Resume Radio Broadcasts to Uzbekistan:

The Voice of America will resume its radio broadcasts to the Central Asian
nation of Uzbekistan on June 12. VOA had ceased broadcasting on radio to
Uzbekistan last year in response to research that showed Uzbeks watch
television in significant numbers. VOA has been broadcasting television
programming to Uzbekistan since December 2003.

"Because of the recent events in Uzbekistan and the Uzbek government's
tightening of controls on foreign television broadcasts, we have decided to
resume our radio broadcasts," said VOA Director David Jackson. "The Uzbek
people deserve to have access to uncensored news and information about
what's happening in their own country, their region, and the world. In
addition, our Uzbek language web site will continue to be updated with the
latest news and information."

VOA's Uzbek-language radio broadcasts will consist of a daily (seven days a
week), 30-minute program, airing from 15:00-15:30 UTC (20:00 -20:30 local
time) on the following shortwave frequencies:

SW Frequencies 1500-1530 UTC:
11515 IRA (26.05 meters)
11780 UDO (25.47 meters)
15390 KAV (19.49 meters)

VOA hopes to offer the new Uzbek-language radio broadcasts on medium wave
and FM in the future.

VOA's coverage will focus on the news of the world, of Uzbekistan and
Central Asia, and information about U.S. policy and opinion. The coverage
will also include U.S. and world press reviews on Uzbekistan, as well as
interviews with regional and international experts on Uzbekistan and the
region. (PRESS RELEASE - Washington, D.C., June 10, 2005 )
