Vatican radio bows to pressure
The Vatican, in an effort to stop Italy from cutting off electricity to its
radio station following a row over electromagnetic radiation, says it will
cut some of its transmissions after Easter. The surprise decision was
announced a day before Italy's Environment Minister Willer Bordon was due to
hold a news conference to announce measures against the station. The
minister has accused Vatican Radio of exceeding Italian laws on radiation
and of being a health hazard. Last month, Mr Bordon threatened to cut off
all electricity to the radio's transmission centre on Rome's outskirts.
The antennas violate Italian law
Residents have claimed that the radio's forest of large antennae have
resulted in a higher incidence of leukaemia in the area. Vatican Radio,
which broadcasts the Pope's speeches and events to the world in some 40
languages, announced its decision on Monday hours after the latest tests
ordered by the environment ministry confirmed that the transmissions
violated Italian standards.
Shut down after Easter
The statement said the broadcaster would shut down its medium wave
transmissions on the 1530 kHz band for seven hours a day beginning on 16
April, the day after Easter. That waveband is currently used for 14 hours a
day and so the shutdown would affect some 50% of broadcasts on that
frequency, which is primarily used for broadcasts in Europe. A Vatican Radio
spokesman said broadcasts on short wave, which is beamed to other
continents, and FM, which is used for Italy, would continue as normal. The
statement said it was "presumed" that the AM antennae, whose broadcasts are
sent in horizontal waves, were the reason why the broadcaster exceeded
Italian limits.
Minimising risk
The statement confirmed Vatican Radio's willingness to seek a long-term
solution on transmission levels that would "minimise the risk to the
population".
Like Vatican City itself, the transmission centre is on extraterritorial
land and considered part of the sovereign Vatican state. Last month, Mr
Bordon said the National Agency for the Protection of the Environment had
registered three times the legal limit for electromagnetic radiation during
one evening broadcast.
Since Vatican Radio was set up 44 years ago, Italy has introduced the
European Union's toughest limits on such radiation, dubbed "electrosmog" by
the Italian media.

RFE/RL's New Headquarters (PRAGUE, Czech Republic)
February 03, 2009
/(PRAGUE, Czech Republic) / Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL)
began a new chapter in its long and distinguished history today when
Radio Free Iraq broadcast its first program from RFE/RL's recently
completed Prague headquarters.
The six-minute news bulletin at 18:00 Baghdad time was part of RFE/RL's
17 hours of daily programming to Iraq. Many of today's stories focused
on the aftermath of Saturday's elections and what they might mean for
Iraq's future. [Read a commentary by RFE/RL's Abbas Djavadi, "Iraq is
More Democratic than Iran"]
<http://www.rferl.org/content/Iraq_Is_More_Democratic_Than_Iran/1378427.html>
The broadcast was the first step in relocating all of RFE/RL's more than
500 Prague-based employees to the facility in Hagibor, ten minutes from
the city center. The five-story, 236,000 sq/ft broadcast center features
multimedia recording studios, interlinking offices, and a modern
newsroom. It is also energy-efficient and one of the most secure
buildings in Europe.
"Our new home is tailor-made to meet the needs of a 21st century media
organization," said RFE/RL President Jeffrey Gedmin. "It allows us to
stay ahead of the technological curve as we broadcast news and
information to many places where authorities are hostile to free and
independent media."
Steve Simmons of the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), which
oversees all U.S. international broadcasting including RFE/RL, credited
a number of partners for the successful completion of the project. "We
could not have done this without the crucial support of the Czech
government, the U.S. Congress, and the U.S. embassy in Prague," he said.
"The BBG is delighted that RFE/RL employees, who broadcast in 28
languages to 20 countries via radio, TV, and the Internet, will now have
a state-of-the-art headquarters to meet their needs."
The building was constructed by Paris-based Orco Property Group and
designed by the architectural firm Cigler Marani. RFE/RL is leaving its
home of 15 years, the former Czechoslovak communist parliament building,
which is being turned over to the National Museum.
