Bring Back ‘Voice of America’ Site in Greenville

USA’s Emergency Broadcast System may morph into who knows what !?!?

GREENVILLE – Closed in March of this year, the Edward R. Murrow Transmitting Station provided shortwave broadcasts for U.S. government-funded, nonmilitary and international broadcasting. The site’s main target areas were Latin America, Cuba, the Caribbean, North Africa, and Africa. Next week in a multi-part series, Compass technical analyst Gordon Allison offers a compelling case to resurrect this valuable infrastructure to become the backbone of our nation’s Emergency Broadcast System. Allison warns that the current system now relies upon increasingly vulnerable satellite and fiber optic delivery.
