would be discontinued. The only shortwave activity that will survive is the
transmission of 4 hours per day of programmes in Dutch, most of it relays of
domestic VRT stations, and only beamed to south Europe.

According to the management, last transmissions of programmes in English,
French and German would be on last day of winter schedule: March 26 2005
