Radio Prague ends SW bcasting 31 Jan 2011.
Radio Prague has confirmed it will end shortwave broadcasts at the end of
January according to this announcement on its Facebook page about 1810 UT
today:
"Radio Prague will be terminating shortwave broadcasting as of January 31,
2011. The station's financing for next year has been drastically reduced
by the Foreign Ministry in line with government austerity measures aimed
at cutting the state deficit. The details of the budget are still being
discussed. At present, broadcasting will continue in all six languages via
the internet, satellite and partner stations."

Radio Slovakia, Radio Prague and Radio Sweden I predict will go the way of
Swiss Info. I think that in 2 maybe 3 years they will be gone. Swiss Info
is on the verge of being gone for good. We have see this happen before.
Geopolitically things have changed since 1989. People back then that made
predictions this would happen I remember were laugh at, but it seem they
are getting the last laugh now.

Radio International, Radio Sweden, and soon DWL Bonn, latter from 2012
year when only Sines, Kigali and Trincomalee may used by DWL then.
