thanks to Jean-Michel Aubier, DX Listening Digest group for the alert:
Radio Slovakia International to leave Shortwave
The Radio Council approved the new organisational structure of the public
broadcaster. The transformation of Radio Slovakia International was a part
of the Wednesday discussion on the proposal of new General Director
Miloslava Zemkova.
According to the approved document, Radio Slovakia International should
cease its SW broadcast as of June 30. The transformation of the SW
broadcast to a part of the Internet sce of the public radio will follow
shortly after. Apart from the Internet, the program of Radio Slovakia
International will continue to be broadcast via satellite. The
transformation process counts on redundancies. Instead of a staff of 4,
the program of each lang section will be secured by 2 editors.
The discussion on the future of Radio Slovakia International included
contributions by several members of parliament as well as the RSI editor
in chief Ladislav Kubis. According to Kubis, the suggested proposal will
not secure quality standard broadcast of the foreign service of public
radio as defined by law. Several members of Radio Council supported the
arguments against the transformation. Nevertheless, this proposal was
passed by a majority in the final vote. The existence of Radio Slovakia
International is directed by the state. However, due to insufficient
financial support, the Radio management transformed its existence.
