RTBF International confirms dropping shortwave

RTBF International has confirmed that its shortwave transmissions (currently on 9970 kHz) will cease as of 2215 UTC on 31 December.

Transmissions will continue on the mediumwave transmitter in Belgium on 621 kHz, on FM 99.2 MHz in Kinshasa, and via the AB3 satellite in Africa.

It’s not clear if the station will continue to use the Hotbird satellite in Europe, as the website only says that listeners in Europe can listen via the Internet, either streaming or on demand.
