David de Jong writes: Besides IBA Channel 33, also Israel Radio International (better known as Kol Israel and also known as Reshet Hey) has also left the Hotbird satellite. The international Israeli radio station was broadcasting there alongside with IBA Reshet Bet which mainly broadcast news and information in Hebrew.
As a result the availability of Israel Radio International, which mainly consists broadcasts of the domestic foreign language radio network IBA Reka together with broadcasts from Reshet Bet and some own broadcasts (Reshet Hey), is more restricted.
Israel Radio International and Reshet Bet are now only receivable in Europe 24 hours a day on Internet and some hours a day on shortwave. WRN (World Radio Network) however continues broadcasting on satellite 15 minutes of English news (2230 UTC) on WRN English, while the German service WRN Deutsch and the French service WRN Français broadcast daily the Yiddish and French speaking broadcast of Kol Israel on Hotbird. WRN English is also on Astra 2/Eurobird (Sky UK), WRN Deutsch and WRN Français also on Astra 1.
