Swiss Radio trades waves for web
Switzerland is ending almost 70 years of broadcasting around the world
today, with Swiss Radio International airing its last programs on
shortwave and satellite.

From Monday, the media organisation's information output will be
available only online.

Swiss Radio International started broadcasting in 1935.

It made a name for itself as a neutral broadcaster during World War
Two and the Cold War.

Under the name Swissinfo, it will now be available online in nine
languages.

Did anyone on the group actually hear SRI's last shortwave transmission?
What was the time, frequency and target area? I tried to find this info'
before the fact but came up empty. Seems like SRI cancelled their
program schedule well in advance of the last transmission.
