World Christian Broadcasting Delivery
TCI Delivers Shortwave Broadcast Antenna System to World Christian BroadcastingFREMONT, CA - JULY 27, 2007
TCI International, Inc. has completed delivery of a high-power, multi-million-dollar shortwave antenna system for a transmitting station that World Christian Broadcasting is building in an ideally-located site just off the Indian Ocean. The four antennas will be used to broadcast to the continents of Africa and South America, the 25 capital cities of the Middle East, India, Indonesia, the European part of Russia, Southern and Western China and other areas in Europe.
This project is the third set of antennas that TCI has supplied to World Christian Broadcasting. In 1982 and 2004 TCI supplied high-power shortwave broadcast antennas for its radio station KNLS at Anchor Point, Alaska. The TCI antennas at KNLS cover two-thirds of Russia, two-thirds of China, and many other countries on the Pacific Rim.
World Christian Broadcasting uses shortwave because unlike other forms of mass media such as satellite, television, AM/FM radio, printed material, and the Internet, only shortwave radio signals can travel vast distances and can be sent without program content being restricted in any way. International broadcasting organizations estimate that at any given time up to one billion shortwave radios are turned on. World Christian Broadcasting's new station in the Indian Ocean and its existing station in Alaska provide effective broadcast coverage to a large percentage of the world's population.
