Tierra del Fuego bilingual broadcasts to Falklands
by Andy

An Argentine member of congress has presented a bill calling for the
establishment of a bilingual broadcasting station targeted to service
the Falkland Islands. Daniel Gallo, deputy for the province of Tierra
del Fuego and belonging to the ruling coalition of President Nestor
Kirchner said the station would be located in Rio Grande the second
largest city of Argentina's most extreme south province.

"It's beyond all discussion the significance that in our days the
media has in the development of our society. Not only that they help
to consolidate the national identity, they help to bring together
under the same banner peoples and cultures that otherwise would remain
distant", said Deputy Gallo on presenting the bill.

In this framework, he added that it was essential to have "a 24 hours
broadcasting service, both in English and Spanish geared to the
Malvinas Islands from the studios of Radio Nacional in Rio Grande and
with the purpose of spreading Argentine culture and news".

"Programming should emphasize on different aspects of Argentine
culture plus daily information related to Argentina and the region in
such areas as politics, economics, history, sports and traditional
values which make to the Argentine identity", underlined Gallo.

As to the actual broadcasting "all programmes must permanently insist
on Argentina's inalienable sovereignty rights over the Malvinas,
Georgias, Orcadas and Sandwich del Sur islands".

The bill is currently under consideration by the Communications and
Computer Technology Committee and according to Patagonia provinces
press reports has received an enthusiastic backing.

Gallo recalled that "some many years ago, from Rio Grande, Mrs Sara
Carolina Mc Phee had a weekly program both in Spanish and English
which broadcast messages to relatives and friends living in the
(Falkland) Islands plus information about Argentina and "all that
which helped to bring both peoples together".

"That memorable attitude just comes to show how positive and enriching
aspects such an activity can generate and how advantageous it is to re-
launch a broadcasting service directed to the Islanders", he added.

Finally the bill requests the Argentine Executive to make viable the
necessary instruments to increase the transmission power of the
current Radio Nacional in Rio Grande "to ensure an optimum
broadcasting capacity and reception in the Malvinas islands".

The population of The Falklands is only about 3,000 in total. Most of
the people don't speak Spanish and would never listen to this proposed
station and the powers that be in Argentina will know that.

The idea of a radio station for one or two listeners is ludicrous, so
I assume that the idea is to get the people of Argentina to listen and
make them think that there are loads of listeners on The Falklands who
will be drinking in the propaganda or something like that.

In the course of it all, the government will be able to build up some
anti-British sentiment and, as they did in 1982, divert the
Argentinians' attention away from the domestic problems.

As with all modern inventions, there is always a down side and I'm
afraid this is an example of one of them.

That sort of propaganda would pale into insignificance compared to the
high-powered shortwave fundamentalist Christian garbage spewing forth from
numerous, ridiculously conservative and ill-educated broadcasters from the
southern US of A. ;-)
