Dear Klaus,

Media Network News Update

Its only a few days since our last Newsletter, but we wanted to share a
couple
of developments which have happened since we released the last one.


Radio 21 relay via Flevo

Radio Netherlands has reached an agreement with the Pristina radio station
'in
exile', Radio 21, to broadcast two hours a day in Albanian on shortwave
from the RN transmitter site on the Flevoland polder. These transmissions
have
been arranged through the Amsterdam-based Press Now, a grouping of
organizations
which actively support the independent media in the Balkans.

Broadcasts are scheduled at 1830-2025 UTC on 9495kHz, beamed to south
eastern
Europe. The service is intended for the hundreds of thousands of Kosovar
refugees in the region who are in desparate need of information as
they make plans for an eventual return home. The first transmission went out
on
Friday 12th June.

Radio Netherlands is not responsible for the content of the Radio 21
programmes,
which are prepared by Radio 21 journalists and sent to Radio Netherlands
over a
modem link.

Radio 21 was on the air from Pristina for more than a year as a Web-only
radio
station, having been refused a broadcast licence by the Serbian authorities.
On
the night of March 23rd 1999, their premises were destroyed by the Serbs,
and
the staff of Radio 21 were among the first to flee the country. A limited
service has resumed on the Web at www.radio21.net but this shortwave service
means that Radio 21 can now reach many more people.


Memories Of the Millennium

Radio Netherlands Media Network is launching a contest to find the most
popular
"Memory of the Millennium", a station which won't make it into the
next century but which stands out as a major contributor for this century
nearly
gone. Stations like WNYW New York, or the virtual station NDXE that never
was.
Or what about KYOI, Radio South Atlantic, Radio Moscow, or Radio Berlin
International? Ideas are welcome to media@xxxxxxx The winner will be
selected in
September and will receive a great new book about radio history.

That's it for the moment,


Jonathan Marks, Diana Janssen and Andy Sennitt
