海外からのラジオ放送

10月27日以降聞こえていたが、昨日も今日も聞こえないと思っていたら、SRSが放送を中止したというニュースが出ていた。1600の放送はこの時期聞こえないが、0530までの13720kHzはUAE送信ということも有り結構聞こえていた。
ダルフール向けの放送も一つの使命を終えたということだろう。

同局のウェブサイトには放送終了の記事がある。
The Sudan Radio Service’s last broadcast goes out today at 7:30 PM. The current Sudan Radio Service started out as the Darfur News and Information Service (DNIS). Its first broadcast was in January 2009. Over the years, the demand for fair and balanced programming in Sudan grew and in September 2012, under funding from the U.S Department of State’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, the service expanded to other regions of Sudan. Its name changed to Sudan Radio Service.

However, avenues for securing further funding for sustaining the service have diminished. As a result, the Sudan Radio Service will cease operating from October 31, 2013.

“We express our gratitude to our funders and our listeners for giving us the energy to offer the kind of programming at the Sudan Radio Service. It has been a great run,” says Deputy Chief of Party Brian Adeba.
