Susan Owensby of Radio France International writes on the RFI website: Management at RFI are implementing a reform of the English service, and are ending our cultural programmes. It was decided that we should put all our forces into “hard” news, and focus on morning programmes.So, as of next Sunday, 27 March, the broadcasting hours to which you are accustomed will change. There will be no more afternoon news programmes, and all of the feature magazines – World Tracks, Crossroads, Rendezvous, Voices, and The Sound Kitchen, will disappear.
