[Swprograms] New International Broadcaster (soft of): EURANET

["Richard Cuff" <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

As folks may know, the EU has funded a new intra-EU broadcast
initiative with news & analysis relevant to the countries of the EU.
This was initially called the "European Radio Project" but now goes by
the moniker "EURANET".

April sees the launch of the first broadcast services relating to
EURANET.  Existing broadcasters have been tasked with spearheading
daily programming in various languages.

English is one of those languages, and Radio Netherlands
(surprise...not the BBC) is responsible for English language content.

So, "Network Europe" is now a 7 day-per-week initiative, as follows:

Mon-Fri:  Daily news / current affairs / culture programming
Saturday:  Weekly review
Sunday:  "Arts and Culture" edition

RNW will be creating a website as of July for this initiative, but for
now has this website set up:  http://www.radionetherlands.nl/euranet/.
 This includes on-demand content.

So far, the weekly highlights do not mention this program, as it isn't
global...the weekday editions only air on MW and various digital
platforms (including webcast):  1500-1530 UTC on mediumwave 1296 kHz
to Europe, repeated at 1830-1900 on WRN Europe and at 1700-1730 and
2100-2130 on the RNW2 stream on Internet and satellite.

More information as it is available.  Thanks to Andy Sennitt for the details
