The special one-day Dutch radio station Radio 555, which operates tomorrow
to raise money for the Tsunami disaster fund, has its own Website at
www.radio555.nl with programming information and details of how to donate
money. A live audio stream will be available. For listeners in Europe, North
Africa and the US, Radio 555 will also be broadcasting on shortwave on the 6
MHz band. For the exact schedule see the station's Website. The site, which
is in Dutch, also mentions that the studio will be shown live on the
Nederland 2 television network from 0500-1600 UTC, and a video stream will
operate via the Website.

Today, radio stations in the Netherlands observed a 1 minute silence at 1100
UTC. On TV and in most public places, a 3 minute silence was observed. Most
countries in the EU also observed silence for 3 minutes, with the exception
of Denmark which already held its own silent period on Sunday.
