Radio Prague to end shortwave transmissions

The following has been posted on Radio Prague’s Facebook Page:

Radio Prague will be terminating shortwave broadcasting as of January 31.

The station’s financing for next year has been drastically reduced by the Foreign Ministry in line with government austerity measures aimed at cutting the state deficit. The details of the budget are still being discussed.

At present, broadcasting will continue in all six languages via the internet, satellite and partner stations.
