SWITZERLAND Option Musique 765 kHz. At 2300 UT of yesterday, Sunday 5th
inst., RSR on 765 kHz began running a continuous announcement [in French,
of course] informing the Sottens MF tx had been taken out of sce on 5 Dec
at midnight local time, and that the prgr is aired via DAB, VHF-FM &
available via the internet.
Strangely, or perhaps not so, they kept running the announcement well
after 2300 ... and are still with it now as I write this, 2243 UT.
{Maybe infor annmt will run til Dec 31? wb.}

SWITZERLAND 765? Voice of Russia interested in Swiss MW outlet.
Voice of Russia signalled its interest in using a mediumwave frequency in
Switzerland. They're the only interested broadcaster at all.
No further details given. Most obvious candidate would be the 765 kHz
transmitter in Sottens which SRG/SSR will leave this Sunday (Dec 5) at
2259 UT. There should be no obstacles, others than in the field of
broadcasting regulation, to firing it up again with another program input.
558 kHz could be possible, too, I think it was not too long ago that this
transmitter showed signs of live and was on air with a test tone.
Beromuenster could be difficult due to all the EMV hassle and hysteria
there, although it was kind of a welcomed excuse for cancelling 531 kHz.
While looking up the matter I found this collection of pictures and
recordings from Swiss broadcasting history, featuring also the
Schwarzenburg, Beromuenster and Sottens shortwave facilities:
