BBCWS to close remaining shortwave transmissions to Europe
February 12th, 2008 - 9:35 UTC by Andy

The BBC World Service (BBCWS) announces on its website that the remaining
BBCWS shortwave transmissions to Europe will close on 18th February 2008.
The BBC says this change is being made in line with listener trends in
radio. Increasing numbers of people around the world are choosing to listen
to radio on a range of other platforms including FM, satellite and online,
with fewer listening on shortwave. This is particularly the case in Europe,
where the majority of shortwave transmissions ceased in March 2007. The
current closures affect the remaining transmissions heard in southern
Europe.
