[HCDX] Radio Austria International

[Willi Passmann <dj6jz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The "Stiftungsrat" made a decision: on March 26 a so called
"compromise proposal" was accepted with 22 to 11 votes, with 1
abstention. Only small parts of Radio Austria International (Logo,
station's tune, a daily 15-Minute-English-Journal...) will survive,
the programme will consist then mainly of relays of the domestic
programme "Ö1". This programme includes English and French news
"shortly after 0800" (0700 UTC presumed). From July the name will be
"Radio Österreich 1 International".

The amount of 4.5 Mio. Euro yearly, which was needed for Radio Austria
International, shall be "decreased step by step to a minimum" stated
the ORF Head of the Economic Affairs Dept. Alexander Wrabetz.

The result of the vote is published at the end of the Listener's
Initiative page: http://www.radio-portal.org/roi/votum.html

Greetings from Germany,
Willi
