The longtime shortwave and online news service was cut as part of a cost saving move last year, but now the Voice of America will be back. A judge has ruled the dismissal of more than 1,000 employees was illegal and ordered them to be rehired and sent back to their old jobs. 

The employees must be back to work no later than March 23rd. It's expected the broadcasts will resume soon after.
