“We are very sorry to inform you that from January 1, 2011 Radio Slovakia International (RSI) will no longer broadcast on shortwave.

This, however, doesn´t mean we will cancel our daily shows. From now on our broadcast will be available for you via satellite at www.wrn.org and via internet at www.rsi.sk. The good news is our website gets a fresh new design, which shall make it easier for you to access, browse and enjoy our programmes. Our team would like to sincerely thank everyone who’s been in touch with us via shortwave. We hope you will stay with Radio Slovakia International in the upcoming year and we will do our best to satisfy your thirst for information about Slovakia. We look forward to your constant feedback via email, online social networks and letters.”
