>From Oct. 1 RAI International close down the transmitting station in Rome.
This follow the previous closure of the contract with the relay station
dated July 31. From now on RAI International radio programmes will be
broadcast only via satellite and Internet.

Rai domestic service still on SW ? / RAI International on the web.
Rai ceased all SW programs on Oct 1st.
6060 kHz Rome is scheduled 2200-0400 UT, so Rai Rome ceased for ever
likely on Monday morning Oct 1st 2007 at 0400 UTC !
6060 Tonight RAI International broadcast also the Slovak and Polish
programmes on 5970 kHz until 2225 UT, i.e. into Oct 1 Rome local time. And
now Notturno Italiano from RAI International (explicitly announced) is
again on 900 kHz, probably also 567 and 657 and, most noteworth, also on
6060. At 2300 they one more time included a German segment in the news,
and it started with the announcement "we would like to inform you that as
of the beginning of the new week the news in German will be cancelled from
this programme". Btw, no Notturno Italiano but another program (Radio
Uno?) on 846 kHz.
So what's going on? Could it be that they scrap all foreign language
services but continue Italian also on shortwave?

Ciao Rai International: la fine.

broadcasts of Italy closed down. Rai International ceased its shortwave
broadcasts, and ceased broadcasting in 25 languages. This news doesn't
seem to have had much attention within Italy. Only some specialised
