RVI has officialy confirmed that it is dropping its shortwave transmissions. The final shortwave broadcast will be on Saturday 24 October. RVi has been broadcasting a limited shortwave service to expats in southern Europe, but replies to a recent listeners’ questionnaire showed a declining audience for this service in favour of satellite and Internet, and the costs of using shortwave can no longer be jusitified.(Source: RVi website/R Netherlands Media Network Weblog)
and our earlier post from this blog October 9, 2009
This afternoon I received confirmation from Els Vandeperre, that Radio Vlaanderen International plans to leave shortwave on October 24. Located in Brussels, Belgium, RVI broadcast in Dutch, and these last few weeks present a chance to verify RVI before their final day of broadcasting.
