DX NEWS----------------------------------------------------------------
An educational program on the election, sponsored by the United Nations 
   Development Program (UNDP) and the Indonesian Family Planning 
   Association (PKBI), is being broadcasted by 40 radio stations across the
   country. The program, aired since May 17, is being carried by radio 
   stations in all provinces, except Irian Jaya, East Timor and Southeast 
   Sulawesi, official of provincial PKBI office, Farid Husni, said here
   Friday. "The cooperation with UNDP in the area of education is aimed at
   motivating teenagers to socialize the general election among their 
   peers," Husni said. Teenagers are also expected to realize and 
   comprehend the importance of the general election, he said. Husni said
   that in Central Java, the program is being carried by RCTFM in Semarang,
   Radio Baurekso in Pekalongan, Radio Zenith in Salatiga, Radio PTPN FM 
   in Solo, and Radio RGM FM in Purwokerto. "Each day, they air five to

   are television presenter Niko Siahaan and actress-singer Rebecca Tuwewu
   from Jakarta. The program will run until June 30.

7 June is election day of Republik Indonesia. Many RRI stations reported
  the result of it. I began to monitor RRI stations from 1100. At 1100
  many stations had a local news. Most station reported the election at 
  this time and extended its schedule. Especially RRI Gorontalo had a
  special program including long speach by man after the local news.
  RRI Jakarta also reported the election past 1100. This program was 
  constructed Indonesian pop music and the report. 
  At 1200 all RRI stations relayed Jakarta news including the report of
  the election. News was finished at 2134 which was longer than usual.
  After then, all RRI stations had no report. Many of them broadcasted
  Indonesian pops program.
  At 1300 stations relayed Jakarta news again. This news is usually about
  economy, money, and industry, but today was election report was heard
  after this. Report was continued until 1319 and ended with music 
  entitled "Bagimu Negri". Recently ending music of Jakarta news at 1300 
  was not "Bagimu Negri" (I do not know its music title). After Jakarta
  news, RRI Gorontalo on 3265kHz, RRI Padang on 4003kHz, RRI Serui on 
  4606kHz, RRI Fak Fak on 4789kHz had election report from own studio.
  At 1400 some RRI stations had local news including the result of the 
  election. Also RRI Serui on 4606kHz broadcasted the special program.
  At 1500 RRI stations relayed Jakarta news. But RRI Serui on 4606kHz did
  not relay the news. In this Jakarta news, the result of the election 
  was reported like as other Jakarta news time. Its news was ended at 
  1520 with Bagimu Negri music. After Jakarta news relay, RRI Pekanbaru 
  on 5040kHz had the special program of the election. And RRI Jakarta 
  on 11760kHz broadcasted the report program which was not relayed by 
  other  RRI station.
  I stopped monitoring at 1530. Most of stations signed off as usual,
  but 3 stations extended its schedule: RRI Gorontalo on 3265kHz signed
  off at 1332 (Usual sign off at 1300), RRI Serui on 4606kHz was still 
  heard at 1530 (Usual sign off at 1515), and RRI Biak on 6154kHz was
  still heard at 1530 (Usual sign off past 1100).
  And RRI Sorong on 4875kHz was inactive today.
