German Südwestrundfunk closing down shortwave
 

Südwestrundfunk (SWR) is dropping shortwave from October 19 to cut costs.
SWR 3 and Cont.Ra () program feeds have been broadcast on 6030 kHz (49
meters) and 7265 kHz (41 meters) shortwave, which will now be replaced by
satellite and internet distribution. The shortwave transmitters are located
in Mühlacker (6030 kHz) and Rohrdorf (7265 kHz), both using 20 kW of power.
Both transmitter sites have a long history, as Mühlacker was launched
already in 1947 and Rohrdorf in 1964.
SWR is the public broadcasting institution for the German states of
Baden-Württemberg and Rheinland-Pfalz. SWR has six radio networks, five of
which broadcast on the FM band, and Cont.ra, which is broadcast mainly via
the internet and on the mediumwave band.
