TWR on its Way out from Shortwave

Trans World Radio (TWR) have decided to pull the plug on their shortwave transmissions from Guam, citing high cost of living on Guam, and "aging transmitters". Operations are scheduled to end with October 31, the end of the A25 broadcasting season. To maintain shortwave broadcasts targeting Asia, TWR reportedly plans to maintain "100% of shortwave programming" through other transmitting sites such as Reach Beyond Australia or the Far Eastern Broadcasting Company (FEBC), also known for its Liangyou Diantai (良友电台) transmissions in Chinese.

Radio Berlin Brandenburg’s (RBB) Radio News noted in October last year that, as typical at TWR, some programs were only 15 minutes long, and only broadcast on certain days of the week.

Apart from the cost of living on the island, weather wasn’t a friend of the transmitter site either, as demonstrated particularly resolutely in May 2023 when Typhoon Mawar struck.
