So the VOA English service is completely shutting down? Is that 100%
certain? What about VOA English to Africa? What about Special English?

Is that a VOA source or just another troll? I've been listening to VOA
over the past week in the afternoons and the English to Africa and
nothing was mentioned. Nor anything else has been mentioned about it.

From what I've read VOA English is shutting down because of budget cuts
or something.

Hmmmm, that's a new one to me even. I wouldn't be surprised if there
wasn't some reduction. I heard that one of the Eastern European services
for VOA was to be phased out at one point,but I cant remember which.

A few days ago, they had this post on the DXLD:

http://www.worldofradio.com/dxld6106.txt

"Voice of Armenia announced in its German broadcasts on
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday that they will "soon" leave shortwave:"

When I first scanned it, I read Voice of America.... When I actually
read it, I realized what was actually written... :-)

I guess it's related to how your mind really reads things:
