ABU - 2 February 2010. ABU shortwave broadcasters meeting in Kuala Lumpur today renewed their support for the creation of a monitoring network to assess the reach and quality of their broadcasts. The backing came at a meeting of the Steering Committee of the ABU Shortwave Coordination Group, ABU-HFC. Over the past few years the committee has been looking into the development of a monitoring unit. Audio monitoring within the ABU-HFC would be a bilateral process, with the ABU providing its support at no extra cost. Participants in the Kuala Lumpur meeting said the proposed network for ABU members could be extended to other shortwave broadcasters if required. Among other issues discussed were ways to achieve an increase in the audience for shortwave radio. Members noted that other, modern delivery media were overtaking shortwave with new, high quality programming. Participants said there was a need to concentrate not only on technical issues but also on good quality content. The committee also agreed to provide training content on new techniques used in coordination as well as on updated software tools on the ABU's online Media Learning Centre.
