BBC Shortwave Frequencies

This page was last updated on October 21, 2005.

Although the BBC no longer targets North America, many of the feeds intended for other areas are strong enough for us to hear. The BBC shortwave frequencies listed below are a quick check of stations that were heard from SW Ontario in mid-October, 2005. The page will be updated on a regular basis to reflect schedule changes as well as seasonal changes in atmospheric conditions. Please email us if you enjoyed using this page. Please note that the listing does not record changes that the BBC may make within a particular 1 hour slot. Interference may also vary, along with reception quality of course. Conditions can vary particularly rapidly in the time slots closest to local sunrise and sunset times.

left Column: Frequency in kHz
Middle Column:: Q denotes that quality is degraded by interference; M = Multipath echo; 1 = detectable; 5 = best quality
Right Column: Probable Stream: AF = Africa; AM = Central or South America; AS = Asia; EU = Europe; ME = Middle East; PA = Pacific
* Operates for part of the hour only
