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.
