No BBC World Service in 103 Mhz

By Harsha Man Maharjan

For few days there is no BBC World service in 103 Mhz. I came to know about this yesterday.
After Maoist quit the government I was searching authentic voice of CPN (Maoist).
I tuned 103 Mhz in my mobile phone and I was surprised to find Radio Nepal in place of BBC world service.

On 19 September 2007 Khagendra Nepali, former BBC Nepali Service Head was the guest lecture in our class. During the interaction he informed us that it might be a technical problem.

According to BBC's website BBC Nepal service can be heard through following FM radio:
Radio Sagarmatha 102.4 FM in Kathmandu; Radio Kalika 95.2 FM in Bharatpur, Chitwan; Radio Birgunj 99 FM in Birgunj; Radio Annapurna 93.4 FM in Pokhara; Radio Himchuli 92.2 FM in Pokhara; Radio Lumbini 96.8 FM in Manigram; Butwal FM 94.4 in Butwal; Radio Saptakoshi 90 FM in Itahari and Radio Bheri 106.4 FM in Surkhet.
