NEW ZEALAND: The BBC World Service can now be heard over two medium wave 
transmitters, operated by Worldwide Broadcasting Limited (PO Box 800, 
Shortland Street, 4 Waipuna Road, Mt Wellington, Auckland). BBC broadcasts 
are recorded from Intelsat and than each one hour segment is shortened by 
special speed-up technique, developed by AVW Limited (cuts out longer periods 
of silence), to a 57 minutes segment before rebroadcasting at the 
transmitters. The three minutes are filled with local advertising. Since 6th 
October 95 the first transmitter operates on 990 with an output of 1 kW in 
the Auckland region and now a new station on 1233 is on the air at 
Wellington.   (BBC 'On Air' via JKB)
