i think Dünya Gündemi (BBC Turkish newscast) is using the same music as BBC Persian, i guess it could be the same music to be used for BBC Arabic in the future...

While we're at it, does anyone have the Alternative English Region music, with the LDN pips in it, and the BBC Turkish Music?

Yep - though that doesn't stop the millions of dishes in Iran receiving it... (Dishes are also banned in Iran...)
Just like banning BBC World Service radio in a country (or in wartime Europe) doesn't stop people from listening to the BBC.
The BBC have been careful to advise people to be aware of their personal safety when contributing to their interactive shows because of this. (i.e. don't give your full name and location if you're in a country where taking part in a show would be banned)

So unsurprisingly it's been banned in Iran. Money well spent!

Indeed - I think that something like 20-25% of the Iranian population have satellite TV despite, as you say, it being illegal.
And Brekkie's news of it being banned in Iran is hardly new - we've known about this in one form or another for weeks, and it's been discussed extensively.

I'm sure I read somewhere that it was more like 40%.

This is very true in South Asia, and is why I'd always expected on of the languages in the region to be next on the list for Television. Another platform to consider along with tv/web is mobile, as there are many parts of the world where it is the only way many people access the internet.
If you look at where SW has closed, it is in more developed parts of the world (such as Europe and North America) where several other platforms carrying the service in higher quality are available instead. This had resulted in the SW platform listener figures becoming very small in comparison. SW continues to broadcast to Africa and Central and Southern Asia.
AFAIK DRM is only available is some parts of Europe at the moment. This fits with the cost/availability/power requirements of the receivers. I do wonder if these will ever be solved, as I've not seen much movement is this direction in the last 10 years of DAB..

Presumably there is also a very strong argument that TV/Web services are becoming more significant ways of reaching audiences as the technology develops and audiences consume their local media in TV/Web form, and wish to view the BBC services in the same way? As the world develops, some territories where once radio and newspapers were the only major news sources are now turning to the TV/web.

That said - it is important not to think that EVERYONE is ditching radio - I know that there is significant concern that FM partnerships and web streaming are not filling the gaps left by cessation of SW radio services.

It will be interesting to see if DRM (digital shortwave and AM standards) takes the place of analogue short wave (though again this favours some territories more than others - particularly as digital radios usually consume a LOT more energy than analogue models.

Never mind the music. Looks like they have started using the VT5 system to produce the bulletin. I'll be interested to see what they do over the coming weeks as they get the hang of the features on it.
