Campaign to save RVI Belgium
There may be hope to save RVI - write to Belgium Media Minister Geert
Bourgeois, details below: "We here at RVi English, French and German will be part of an existing website called vrtnieuws.net. They will just add a few pages in these three languages. That`s at the end of March next year, when we will close down our shortwave service, except for a few hours in Dutch per day. It`s all very sad, except for a miracle, you never know. The Flemish media minister Geert Bourgeois wants listeners and viewers to help to decide the future of the Flemish public broadcaster VRT. Mr Bourgeois is preparing an evaluation of the Flemish public broadcaster. He says that the six million Flemish people are the VRT`s shareholders and wants them to have their say. Mr Bourgeois does not simply intend to collect complaints, but organise a debate in society at large. The results will guide the Flemish government in its talks with the VRT on its future. Next year the Flemish media minister starts to negotiate a new management contract with the VRT. The contract sets out which services the VRT should provide in return for public cash. The Flemish international broadcaster RVi is a division of VRT. So, if you feel inspired to help us, you could tell him what you think of stopping shortwave, or any kind of radio in English, French and German. This is his address: Media minister Geert Bourgeois, Alhambra building, Emile Jacqmainlaan 20, 1000 Brussels, Belgium. The e-mail address is: kabinet.bourgeois @ vlaanderen.be ......
