Kai Ludwig posted this on DXLD: Just got the enclosed message forwarded from John Babbis. It makes clear that the broadcasts on 747 and 1224 will go away as well, and presumably the transmitters, the last high power mediumwave outlets still on air in Bulgaria, will be switched off altogether. I have to add that I find the time horizon specified in the PS. indeed frightening. ----------
BULGARIA Dear listeners and friends of the short waves and Radio Bulgaria, With a huge regret to inform you very bad news. After more than 75 years in the world broadcasting from January 31, 2012 at 2200 UT, Radio Bulgaria cease broadcasting on short and medium waves. The solution is that Radio Bulgaria is not necessary now its short waves and medium waves listeners. The reason -no money for broadcast on short and medium waves. And who listens to short waves today? Already has internet. Maintaining the short waves was "Mission Impossible"! Hope dies last. As a frequency manager in the last 19 years my main task was to provide best quality signal of Radio Bulgaria in worldwide coverage. There will be no short waves, there will be no frequency manager. For all people who work in Radio Bulgaria that bad news is shock and horror Beginning of the end. But expect your moral support.
