From Radio Prague’s Mailbox programme broadcast yesterday:
Armin Gerstberger from the United States asked this question among others: “I was wondering what will happen to your shortwave transmission facility in Litomysl after 1/31/2011. Will it be maintained for future use by Cesky rozhlas, rented out or sold off?”
Radio Prague answered: The Litomysl transmitter has been closed down and the staff laid off. As for now, it is unclear whether the facility will be dismantled or whether it will be preserved for potential future operation.

Best wishes to everyone who worked at the station, yet another well known shortwave broadcaster is no more.

Well, I guess this is another sign of modern times. Good luck to all those that worked to continue this form of communication. It’s sad, but with changes come good fortune.

Sell the station to a private owner incl. studios, transmitters and buildings/land. The increasing number of small wind up am fm sw radios is up to 300.000 monthly now.
