Wednesday 24 Aug 2011
NHK will launch a live online streaming service of its domestic radio channels, with its first programme airing at 11 a.m. on 1 September.
The new service - NHK Net Radio - will also be known as "Radiru Radiru".
Listeners will be able to enjoy NHK's three radio channels (Radio 1, Radio 2 and FM) by accessing nhk.jp/netradio/. From 1 October, NHK Net Radio will also be available on smart phones.
NHK Net Radio will make access to the stations easier for listeners by solving reception problems inside buildings or in regions with wireless interference.
NHK Net Radio is the first regular live stream service for NHK's domestic TV and radio channels. It can only be accessed in Japan.

RTP: there is 'every reason' to suspend shortwave
http://www.southgatearc.org/news/september2011/every_reason_to_suspend_shortwave.ht
m
The chairman of the board of Ra'dio e Televisa~o de Portugal (RTP), Guilherme Costa, said
on Tuesday that the company has 'every reason' to suspend the shortwave transmissions of
RDP Internacional.

Mr Costa, quoted by the Lusa news agency, said such a platform is obsolete from the
technical point of view, is generally poor quality in terms of reception, and is expensive,
adding that discussions about shortwave began within the organisation in May 2009.

He said that RDP had received 190 messages on the suspension of shortwave broadcasts,
and more than half came via email from people who can listen to broadcasts on the Internet.

RTP announced in May that it would temporarily suspend the shortwave broadcasts of RDP
Internacional from 1 June, citing the low number of listeners and the need to reduce
costs.Standard rig : ICOM R75 / 2x16 V / m@h40 heads Sennheiser
