Two out of the five transmitters broadcasting RRI's programmes are
temporarily suspended as of 1 August

Dear friends, the Radio Romania Board of Administrators decided to
temporarily suspend the use of 2 out of the 5 Radiocom shortwave
transmitters that ensure the broadcast of Radio Romania International
programmes, because of budget cuts. As of August 1, our programmes are
aired via one transmitter in Ţigăneşti, one in Săftica (both of them
near Bucharest) and one in Galbeni (east). As soon as the budget of
the institution is restored, we will resume broadcasts on all 5
transmitters.
The RRI programmes in Romanian, English, French, German, Spanish,
Russian, Arabic, Chinese and Hebrew are affected. All of them may be
received on only one frequency instead of 2, as of August 1, 2023. The
frequencies as well as any other prospective changes operated by
Radiocom further to reception monitoring and to your feedback on
reception quality will be announced in our broadcasts, on our web page
and on Facebook.
Budget restrictions also prompted a reduction of the night time power
of medium wave transmitters that broadcast Radio Romania News and
Current Affairs programmes and of some regional stations.
We invite you to follow RRI's programmes online at www.rri.ro
(including on demand), on SoundCloud, on Android and iOS apps, via
TuneIn and via satellite. You can find more details on our home page.
You can also follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube,
LinkedIn and Spotify.``
Richard Langley replies: ``This message was included verbatim during
the half-hour English broadcast today (31 July) starting nominally at
20:30 UTC although there was a minute or so delay for the start today
at least for the DRM transmission on 11975 kHz. Remains to be seen if
the DRM broadcasts will be axed as of tomorrow.``
July 31 at 2217, `The History Show` is already 50% - only 11800 & 9790
on air, cut 11650 & 9740. Was all AM, no DRM this hour. If it`s all
about the SW power bill, and have really been running 300 kW each,
which not keep them all going at 150? (Glenn Hauser, OK, WOR)
