THE
RADIOS AROUND THE WORLD THAT REBROADCAST VATICAN RADIO'S PROGRAMMES
The
quality of the radio signal that reaches listeners is of vital importance
for any radio that broadcasts beyond its national frontiers. Up until
a few decades ago, short wave was the only means technology could offer
to cover great distances, while medium wave covered shorter distances.
Both medium and especially short wave are subject to interference and
are therefore not able to reach all the corners of the earth.
With
the arrival of new telecommunication vectors (satellites, fast Internet)
Vatican Radio has been given the chance to further amplify the range
of its activity not only to reach those listeners who utilize these
new technologies, but above all to set up a collaboration with those
stations wishing to relay Vatican Radio’s signal on their own
frequencies, primarily on Frequency Modulation. These stations pick
up Vatican Radio’s signal from the two Intelsat Satellites positioned
over the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, from the European satellite Eutelsat
or from Internet. Thus a fruitful relationship with 1,040 radios in
70 nations has been established. Among these, Catholic radio stations
are the most numerous, but there are also commercial stations and even
some public state radios (in Argentina, Paraguay, Perù, Poland,
Slovakia and Venezuela).
Latin
America is the continent with the largest number of radios rebroadcasting
Vatican Radio in the Spanish language (363), either singly, or through
the EWTN and Paxnet networks. Of these stations 60 are in Argentina,
47 in Perù, 37 in Ecuador, 35 in Bolivia and 34 in Chile. Furthermore,
the Portuguese programmes for Brazil are rebroadcast by 353 radios,
that are linked together in five networks: Fundacão João
Paulo II – Cancão Nova, Rede Fraternidade – Porto
Alegre – Rio Grande do Sul, Fundacão Fraternidade, Milicia
da Imaculada – São Paolo e Rede Católica.
Europe follows Latin America with 291 radio stations that rebroadcast
Vatican Radio: 177 in Italy, the majority of which link up to the Blu
Sat satellite of the Episcopal Conference, 58 in France united in two
networks: Radio Chrétiennes en France and COFRAC, and 20 in Poland.
The Polish programme is also rebroadcast in the United States, in New
York and Chicago.
In North America there are 15 stations in the United States that rebroadcast
our programmes, in both English and Spanish, and four in Canada.
In
Africa where as we know there are enormous economic problems, Vatican
Radio is rebroadcast by 27 radios in 20 countries. The majority of these
are located in the Democratic Republic of Congo (4).
In
Asia and Oceania we find fewer radios interested in rebroadcasting Vatican
Radio programmes. In Asia Catholics are a minority, except in the Philippines.
Moreover the regulations in force in some countries do not allow private
radio stations to be set up. And so in Asia only four radios rebroadcast
Vatican Radio: two in the Philippines (Radio Veritas and Radio DWAM),
a radio in Japan (BS Communications Corporation of Tokyo, in English)
and the “Voix de la Charité” Radio in Lebanon.
In
Oceania there is a radio in Australia (Dziadzan Radio) and one in Papau
New Guinea (Catholic Radio Network).
The programmes most popularly rebroadcast are those giving information
on the life of the Church and on current international events. It must
however be underlined that the increase in the rebroadcasting of Vatican
Radio programmes not only improves the quality of the signal, and therefore
an increase in listenership, but also achieves an intra-ecclesial collaboration
that unites the universal Church and the particular churches in the
common mission, incarnated in different cultural contexts, of preaching
the Gospel to the world through radio waves that know no boundaries.
