At about 0249 UTC on Sunday, the 24th day of August 2025, I tuned in to Madgascar World Voice (MWV) Madagascar, broadcasting on 13760 kHz in the English language.
Madagascar World Voice (MWV) is located in Mahajanga, Madagascar, and is a sister station of KNLS in Alaska, USA. It is operated by World Christian Broadcasting. (Wikipedia 2021)
MWV commenced transmissions in 2016 as KNLS sought a second transmission site in the southern hemisphere. (Wikipedia 2021)
The broadcast was coming from the 100 kW transmitter in Mahajanga, Madagascar. The target audience was India.
