[Swprograms] BBC shortwave to Europe ending Feb 18

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

Shortwave changes for Europe

February 2008

The remaining BBC World Service shortwave transmissions to Europe will close on
18th February 2008.

This change is being made in line with listener trends in radio. Increasing
numbers of people around the world are choosing to listen to radio on a range
of other platforms including FM, satellite and online, with fewer listening on
shortwave.

Alternatives

This is particularly the case in Europe, where the majority of shortwave
transmissions ceased in March 2007. The current closures affect the remaining
transmissions heard in southern Europe.

This will be a loss to some listeners, but there are alternative ways of
hearing BBC programmes. For more information about other ways to listen, please
