RFI English programmes to focus on news

Susan Owensby of Radio France International writes on the RFI website: Management at RFI are implementing a reform of the English service, and are ending our cultural programmes. It was decided that we should put all our forces into “hard” news, and focus on morning programmes.

So, as of next Sunday, 27 March, the broadcasting hours to which you are accustomed will change. There will be no more afternoon news programmes, and all of the feature magazines – World Tracks, Crossroads, Rendezvous, Voices, and The Sound Kitchen, will disappear.

    Haven’t checked on it yet but… does that mean the end of the hour-long program at 1600 for Africa, or is that program shortened to 30 minutes? For A11 it’s scheduled to be on 15605 and 17605 kHz.
