Two new shows - South Asia Wired and Inside Track - appear on the RNW line-up for this year's summer season, which begins on 28 March 2010. In addition, the weekly highlight review Reloaded has been expanded to 20 minutes.

 

South Asia Wired is the audio branch of our multimedia project of the same name, which includes a blog on the RNW website. Both the blog and the programme are hosted by Dheera Sujan.

Inside Track is an occasional series where we sound out Radio Netherlands Worldwide colleagues who have been to wild and interesting places. Or who simply have a good story to tell.

Some of your favourite programmes, such as The State We're In, Earth Beat or Bridges with Africa may have changed place, but you will still find them on our webstream, satellite broadcast or shortwave transmission.

News and current affairs continue to be covered by Network Europe and Newsline, including news about the Netherlands. Our Dutch-themed programme Curious Orange has taken a rest.

The Radio Netherlands Music Department is again supplying a wealth of programming, appearing on our schedule in the shape of Live at the Concertgebouw and European Jazz Stage. And of course, as part of our web output, we have Tim Fisher hosting the monthly Euro Hit 40 chart show. Later in the season you will be able to listen to Hear the World, with all kinds of music from all over the globe.

We hope you will enjoy our programmes!
