    BC-Voice of America TV calls Armenia
    Magazine show, 30-minutes of p'gramming added
    By Pamela McClintock

    NEW YORK -- Voice of America on Monday launched a daily
    Armenian-language TV feed for Armenians in their own country and for
    those dispersed across Europe and the Middle East.

    VOA, which is partnering with Armenia TV, recently ended its
    Armenian radio broadcasts, saying a TV feed would reach more people.

    Armenia TV will air "Amerikai dzain herustahandes" (VOA TV
    Magazine) during its weekday newscasts, as well as a 30-minute block
    of VOA programming on Saturday.

    VOA director David Jackson said the feed was especially important
    as Armenia developed into a more "open and democratic civil society."
    VOA is the U.S. government's chief propaganda arm overseas.

    According to a recent survey, 97% of Armenians rely on television
    for news. Armenia TV reaches 52% of viewers between the ages of 25
    and 50.

    It is also available via satellite in Western Europe and the
    Middle East, including the U.K., France, Germany, Switzerland,
    Holland, Bulgaria, Romania, Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, Greece,
