(Carlos Goncalves-POR, wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Feb 3) GERMANY/USA Re: Greenville and Erching sites. I hear from a confidential source that the Greenville transmitting station of VOA will be closing on September 30, 2010. What this will mean for the broadcasts it still transmits, Radio Marti, VOA English, Special English, recently expanded Creole, Hausa, Portuguese, Spanish, RNW relay is as yet unknown. [later] I don't know for sure, but I was about to add that it is probably somewhere in the next FY budget just coming out, or caused be it. (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld Feb 1) Kim Elliott has followed up on this, partially quoting us: BBG budget plan includes closure of Greenville transmitting station, last IBB shortwave facility in the US. Kai Ludwig in dxldyg suggests that Greenville may not really close until the end of October, A-10 season, rather than end of Sept, FY 2010. Media Network also follows up on this: Wolfgang Bueschel, dxldyg, says the Erching, Germany IBB site refers to the former longwave 173 kHz facility. [see below] (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, dxld Feb 2) I wonder if this has anything to do with the proposed budget. Perhaps there just aren't enough funds to keep Greenville alive ... after all these years! (Steven Wiseblood-USA, dxld Feb 1) Bombshell - VOA Greenville closing in 8 months. Thanks to we have a link to: Broadcasting Board of Governors FY 2011 Budget Request We have found pertinent excerpts from the 119 page document concerning Greenville, EMPHASIS ADDED WITH CAPS; et al.: PROGRAM CHANGES: The BBG proposes the following reductions in the support area: reduction of contracting costs by 4 percent throughout the Agency through efficiencies; sale of a former transmitting site in Erching, Germany [which one is that by a name we recognize?].
