Hello SWLs, 
 
         Here is  news  about  the  final  transmissions  of  Swiss  Radio 
International, by courtesy of Wolfgang, DF5SX...... 
 
------- 
 
SWITZERLAND. SWANSONG FOR VOICE OF SWITZERLAND 
 
         Excerpt  from  a  report by Swiss Radio International's Swissinfo 
web site on 21 July 
 
         Swiss Radio International is to cease all radio broadcasts at the 
end  of  October,  and  will  thereafter  concentrate  exclusively  on its 
Internet platform, www.swissinfo.org. 
 
         Starting 1 August, a special series of radio programmes will look 
back  at  key  events  that  have shaped SRI and Switzerland over the past 
seven decades. 
 
         SRI  ended  its  news  and  current  programmes  in  April,   but 
broadcasts  are  continuing  on SW and satellite until the end of October. 
During our last 12 weeks  on  air,  we  will  be  broadcasting  a  special 
half-hour programme each week to recall highlights since SRI first hit the 
airwaves in 1935. 
 
         In the week starting 1 August, listeners can hear how SRI evolved 
from the Swiss SW sce - which went on air for the first time on 1 August 
1935 - into swissinfo, which went online in 1999. 
 
Assignment Switzerland 
 
         Other programmes in  the  "Assignment  Switzerland"  series  will 
profile  personalities who shaped the country, the four Swiss cultures and 
the Swiss living abroad. 
 
         We'll also be looking back at key events in politics, science and 
technology  and  the  arts,  and  finding  out  what  outsiders  think  of 
Switzerland. 
 
         The final programme in the series will look at how Swiss views of 
their own country have changed over the past half-century. 
 
         We do hope you will tune in to remember SRI's nearly 70 years on 
air. You can also listen to the programmes online each week by clicking on 
"In Focus" in our multimedia section.
