Dear friends, the Radio Romania Board of
Administrators decided to temporarily suspend the use of 2 out of the 5
Radiocom shortwave transmitters that ensure the broadcast of Radio Romania
International programmes, because of budget cuts. As of August 1, our
programmes are aired via one transmitter in Ţigăneşti, one in Săftica (both of
them near Bucharest) and one in Galbeni (east). As soon as the budget of the
institution is restored, we will resume broadcasts on all 5 transmitters.

The RRI programmes in Romanian, English,
French, German, Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Chinese and Hebrew are affected. All
of them may be received on only one frequency instead of 2, as of August 1,
2023. The frequencies as well as any other prospective changes operated by
Radiocom further to reception monitoring and to your feedback on reception
quality will be announced in our broadcasts, on our web page and on Facebook.

Budget restrictions also prompted a reduction
of the night time power of medium wave transmitters that broadcast Radio
Romania News and Current Affairs programmes and of some regional stations.

We invite you to follow RRI’s programmes online
at www.rri.ro (including on demand), on
SoundCloud, on Android and iOS apps, via TuneIn and via satellite. You can find
more details on our home page. You can also follow us on Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn and Spotify.

The short wave transmitters in Galbeni, eastern Romania, that beam Radio Romania International’s programmes will be closed for maintenance works on Thursday, June 25th, between 9 am and 5 pm, Romania’s time (06.00 — 14.00 GMT).

The English programme for English-speaking Africa, the French programme for Western Europe, the programme in Arabic for Mashrek and the programme in Romanian for Western Europe will be disturbed. During the above mentioned interval, you can listen to our broadcasts on the short wave transmitters in Tiganesti, and also on the Internet, at www.rri.ro, on the mobile applications available on Google Play and App Store, via sattelite Eutelsat 16A and, for the English programme only, on the fixed and mobile phone. Thank you.
