[HCDX] New International Radio Station From Europe

["Ray Browell" <ray@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A new radio station is set to launch this April broadcasting from the
heart of Slovakia to central Europe via a network of AM/FM
transmitters. It will also be able to be heard further a field via
Sky Digital and the Internet.

At the start of the year we heard rumours of a new European based
station, and I guess we thought it was a hoax. There is often talk on
the various radio forums about new International stations
broadcasting from the high seas or beamed from the Netherlands -
which never happen, and we could have easily dismissed this one too

However this new station is real and will be broadcasting from Poprad
in Slovakia. Strange place you may well ask? - OK so it wouldn't be
an obvious choice. However the team behind RTI have spent several
months planning such a service - headed by Media Guru - Eric
Wiltsher.

RTI - Radio Tatras International will offer international programming
all originating and uplinked from the UK. The station is licensed by
Ofcom with output servers based in the UK, as well.

RTI will also have local affiliate stations around Europe who will
focus on providing the best news, travel, weather services at the
times when it's most important to do that.

Each affiliate will all have studios of there own.

RTI is set to launch on April 9th.
