New Government InterFM Multilingual Radio Show

[Mulboyne]

As part of InterFM's broadcast licence, it is obliged to offer foreign language programming. This obligation became less of a priority when the station realized no-one was listening but the earthquake has raised the stakes again and the website advertises its multilingual offerings. From today, there's a new addition. The Government has decided to use the station to make short public service announcements called Inter Community Square. Since it's unlikely anyone will be tuned in at the appropriate time, you can listen to them online. Here's the first one., available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Tagalog, Chinese or Korean.

I wonder if the craigslist ad looking for foreign radio host voices was for this job.

I don't know how much of this InterFM's call. They are 100% owned and pretty tightly overseen by Channel 12, TV Tokyo.
