Radio Liberty may soon end close Lithuanian broadcasts

 



LITHUANIA   

Radio Liberty may stop broadcasting on MW from mid-April

Andrey Shary, ex-director of Radio Liberty's Russian service (though he still works with that service), has commented on the current state of affairs.

"Even short-term prospects remain vague; planning horizons have been greatly reduced; we are forced to contract, primarily in terms of money, to look for much more economical ways of working. So far, nothing has been closed and no one has been fired, but many things have had to be put on hold. Some popular projects of the Russian Service have been suspended or are being suspended [...]. Evening radio relays on medium waves may cease from mid-April. Other reductions are also quite possible."
