[Swprograms] A new international broadcaster in 2008?

["Richard Cuff" <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes indeed...something called the "European Radio Project", funded by
the European Commission.

This will be a new radio station, with a consortium of 14 broadcasters
contributing frequencies and transmitters, DW providing editorial
coordination, RNW launching the web portal, and RFI providing overall
financial coordination.

English will be one of the languages in the initial programming launch
in April 2008 -- surprising, since neither the BBC nor RTE appear to
be directly involved in the project.

No word as to whether or not shortwave frequencies will be part of the
frequency mix.

See http://www.radionetherlands.nl/currentaffairs/071214-european-radio.

I've asked around some contacts amongst the broadcasters
involved...will update everyone as new information becomes available.
