B26 International Broadcasting Schedule

25 October 2026 – 28 March 2027

Welcome to the WSA BD Shortwave Frequency Finder, a practical search tool for exploring international shortwave broadcasting frequencies during the B26 transmission season.

Finding a particular station on shortwave can sometimes be challenging. Frequencies change with broadcasting seasons, stations use different frequencies for different target areas, and programs are transmitted in several languages at different UTC times.

This Frequency Finder is designed to make that search easier. Whether you are an experienced DXer, a regular shortwave listener, or someone just beginning to explore international broadcasting, you can use it to find scheduled transmissions quickly and conveniently.

Search by station name, frequency, UTC time, or language. You can also combine these search terms to narrow down the results and find the transmission you are looking for.

Explore the B26 Frequency Schedule

The B26 schedule brings together international shortwave transmissions from broadcasters around the world. Instead of checking lengthy frequency tables manually, use the search facility below to explore the available information.

The search tool supports several search options:

  • Station Name: Find frequencies used by a particular international broadcaster.

  • UTC Time: Search transmissions scheduled at a particular time.

  • Frequency: Enter a frequency in kHz to identify the broadcasting station or service.

  • Language: Discover stations broadcasting in your preferred language.

  • Combined Search: Use more than one search term at the same time to refine your results.

All search fields work together. You do not need to select a separate search category before entering your query.

On Air Now: Find Stations Broadcasting at This Moment

Not sure what to listen to right now? Try the On Air Now search button.

This feature uses the local time of your computer or mobile device to identify transmissions scheduled to be on air at the time of your search. It provides a convenient way to explore the current broadcasting window without manually converting local time into UTC.

For shortwave listeners, this can be a useful starting point for discovering stations and checking frequencies during a listening session.

A note for DXers: The On Air Now feature identifies transmissions according to their published schedule and your device's local clock. It does not confirm that a transmitter is operating correctly or that its signal is reaching your location. Actual reception depends on propagation conditions, transmitter power, antenna performance, interference, and other factors.

Why a Shortwave Frequency Finder Matters

Shortwave broadcasting remains a fascinating way to explore international radio. Broadcasters use the HF spectrum to reach listeners across national borders, often serving distant regions where conventional broadcasting methods have limited coverage.

For DXers, a reliable frequency reference is an essential part of the listening experience. It helps identify stations, plan listening sessions, compare reception reports, and discover less familiar broadcasters.

A searchable frequency database also makes shortwave listening more accessible to newcomers. Rather than navigating complicated schedule documents, listeners can search using information they already know, such as a station name, language, or frequency.

Our aim is to make international broadcasting schedules easier to explore and more useful for the worldwide DX community.

A Useful Companion for Your DXing Activities

The Frequency Finder can support several everyday DXing activities:

  • Planning a shortwave listening session.

  • Identifying an unknown station heard on a particular frequency.

  • Checking which broadcasters are scheduled at a given UTC time.

  • Discovering international programmes in different languages.

  • Preparing reception reports with relevant schedule information.

  • Exploring broadcasting services from countries around the world.

For the best results, compare the schedule information with actual reception. A station listed in the database may not always be audible in your area, even when its transmission is scheduled.

About the B26 Schedule

This Frequency Finder is based on the B26 international broadcasting season, covering the period from 25 October 2026 to 28 March 2027.

International broadcasters may revise their frequencies, transmission times, languages, or target areas during a season. Some transmissions may also be cancelled, temporarily suspended, or replaced.

We encourage readers to check official broadcaster announcements and recognised shortwave schedule references when confirming important details. The information presented here is intended as a listening and research aid, not a guarantee of live transmission or reception.

Explore the Airwaves. Discover the World.

Shortwave radio connects listeners with voices, cultures, languages, and stories from across the globe. Every frequency offers another opportunity to discover something new.

The WSA BD Shortwave Frequency Finder is developed to support that spirit of exploration and to make international broadcasting information easier to access for listeners everywhere.

Whether you are searching for a familiar station or discovering a new voice on the air, we hope this tool makes your next listening session more rewarding.

Explore the Airwaves. Preserve Radio Heritage.
