What we publish, and where each part came from

What we say	Read from	When
Description Idaacadda Subaxnimo is the morning broadcast of VOA Somali, the Voice of America's Somali-language service, so this stream carries a single daily programme rather than a round-the-clock station. Each edition works through overnight developments in Somalia and the wider Horn of Africa, then widens out to world news, interviews, sport and a read through the international press. It is presented entirely in Somali and sits alongside the service's afternoon, early-evening and night broadcasts, which follow the same pattern later in the day. There is no music format here, the output is news and talk from start to finish.	VOA Somali, Codka Mareykanka	2026
Contact route the service's own "Nala soo Xiriir" page exists but renders as a bare heading with no body, so the live routes are the parent broadcaster's own contact page (a switchboard telephone, a Washington postal address, department email addresses, and an audience-feedback form explicitly for comments, complaints and compliments about programming), four VOA Somali social accounts and one WhatsApp channel linked from its own homepage, and two listener-participation strands in its own programme list, a weekly listener call-in and a greetings-and-songs dedication slot.

Where voasomali.com states no frequency of its own anywhere; the programme's own Ku Saabsan page gives only a schedule (daily, 6:30 am local, 0330 UTC, 30 minutes) and the Nagu Saabsan page describes VOA as the United States international broadcaster in more than 45 languages without naming any transmitter, and the site does not describe itself as online only either	VOA Somali, Idaacadda Subaxnimo	2026

What we corrected

Each of these changed a field in our own entry. The reasoning is the researcher's own, recorded when the change was made.

Field	Change	Why
language code	so what it said before was not recorded; the reasoning usually states it	presented entirely in Somali; ISO 639-1 code for Somali is so
homepage url	https://www.voasomali.com/ what it said before was not recorded; the reasoning usually states it	fetched and read: official VOA Somali service site, lists Idaacadda Subaxnimo among its broadcasts

What we found and did not publish

Material that would have made this page fuller, and was refused. A page with five named presenters looks better than a page with none even when the five are a website theme's demonstration content, and the difference is invisible to a reader. So it is recorded here instead.

What we could have said	Why we did not
the switchboard number, the department email addresses and the street address	never copy an address or a number into this file source
the service's own contact page as CONTACT_URL	https://www.voasomali.com/p/5273.html returns HTTP 200 but both curl and a rendered read in a browser show only the page heading and no contact content at all source
a correction to the briefing, which expected shortwave, medium wave, satellite or a table of FM relays	voasomali.com publishes none of these, and a search of its own site for FM returns only news articles about other stations source

If you think something here is wrong

Tell us which fact and what you found instead. Everything above names its source and its date, so a disagreement can be settled by looking rather than argued. Where another site disagrees with us, it is usually because it is repeating a radio directory, and occasionally because we got it wrong. We would like to know which.

Read from the station's own material; this page is generated from the catalogue as it stands now, so it changes when the research does. Research current as at 2026.
