The reception has been good now-a-days as my monitoring for several days for first one and half hour of the broadcast as per my monitoring.During initial half hour or so, I sometime have observed slight to moderate interference from a co-channel station.
The program formats has been changed now-a-days and more stress on life styles etc and present music trends etc have been observed.Though on week days I have observed news of 10 miniutes.And on the weekend,it is only back to back Korean Pop music only I guess.I have not listented to KBS World English as such for a long time for a few years now.

KBS World English once was a good verifier of reception cards and they used to issue printed QSL Cards of big size for each quarter of the year.I have lots of printed QSL Cards from KBS World Radio Seoul ,South Korea depicting every aspects of South Korea including politics -inter korean summit meeting..

The BBS is still off the air on its long standing shortwave frequency on 49mb i.e. on 6035kHz as per my monitoring.But BBS FM Service on 96.00 via Thimphu I guess, which is heard here in my location , in the morning transmission of BBS Nepali Language transmission from 0400utc, the opening announcement still mentions its shortwave transmission frequency along with its current FM frequencies.
Here is a few audio file recordings links of the BBS Nepali on 96.0MHz on January 31st
