Major cuts coming at Radio Vlaanderen Internationaal

credit: medianetwork weblog

From 26 March 2005, Radio Vlaanderen Internationaal will stop its radio programmes in English, French and German. The broadcasts in Dutch will be mostly relays of the domestic networks, and the only remaining shortwave transmissions will be to southern Europe. The RVI Web site will be relaunched with a new look. The name of the station will also be changed, to VRT-Internationaal."The old and traditional mediumwave, and especially shortwave, output will be reduced," says VRT Radio Director Frans Ieven. These are outmoded delivery methods and "there are other cheaper and more efficient means of reaching people than with gigantic shortwave transmitters."But although the output will be reduced, it isn’t disappearing altogether. "On mediumwave, a bit of shortwave, via satellite and the Internet, people can still hear an offering which you could describe as the best of the VRT channels. A network in which we combine the bits of our domestic services which are most relevant to the foreign listener and the Flemish abroad."RVI will also carry "interesting sporting events" as well as specific programming produced for Dutch-speaking listeners abroad. But programmes in English, French and German are being scrapped. In their place there will be translations of Flemish and Belgian news stories on the Web site. Many of the existing programmes in Dutch will also disappear.There’s a big expatriate community to serve, says Ieven, but what we have to offer is limited. Therefore we have to do it as efficiently as possible. "Some people will find that they receive more interesting things, others will find they no longer receive what they had before. These are the inevitable compromises we have to make," he says.From the end of March, the Website will have a new look. The Flemish abroad will be central, and for news the Web user will be directed to nieuws.net.Radio Vlaanderen Internationaal
