Broadcasting station - Voice of America

 
Country USA Language English Created on 26.Jun.2006

Die VoA wurde 1942 vom Büro für Kriegsberichterstattung gegründet und sollte Programme für das von Deutschland besetzte Europa und Nordafrika produzieren. Die VoA nutzte dazu Kurzwellensender, die von CBS und NBC bereitgestellt worden waren.
Die englischsprachigen Programme bestehen zum größten Teil aus einem reinen Nachrichten-Programm VoA -News Now. Einige Sendungen in Special English mit einem geringeren Vokabular und leichterem Satzbau sind ebenfalls im Programmangebot. Sendungen in deutscher Sprache gibt es nicht. In Deutschland wird ein Mittelwellensender in Ismaning bei München zur Übertragung von VoA-Programmen eingesetzt.
In Zeiten des Kalten Kriegs wurden die Sendungen von Störsendern in der Sowjetunion stark beeinträchtigt (so genanntes Jamming). Heute mietet die VoA Sendeanlagen in den GUS-Staaten zur Übertragung ihrer Programme.
