Radio Slovakia to reduce shortwave hours for summer

Radio Slovakia International (RSI) carries the following announcement on its website: “During the period between the 1st of May and the 30th of September 2010 the following changes will be implemented in our broadcasting schedule. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday broadcasting will only take place on one frequency. Highlighted frequencies will be broadcast during even weeks. Frequencies which are not highlighted will be broadcast during odd weeks. There will be no changes to broadcasts during Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.”

The comments refer to the transmission schedule on this page. No reason is given for this decision, but it should be noted that RSI dropped shortwave completely for a few months in 2006 due to budget cuts.
