Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor,\u00a0G. Koopal, who who sent a tip regarding RTI’s French language service leaving shortwave. I followed up directly with RTI and received the following reply from their French language service team:<\/p>\n

[English Translation]<\/p>\n

We have just announced this news in the last “courriers des auditeurs” this Sunday, February 4th.<\/p>\n

From March 25th, the French service and the Spanish service of RTI will unfortunately stop broadcasting on shortwave.<\/p>\n

The schedule of programs will change a little but you can always listen to us on the new website that will be online very soon. More videos will be posted in the future. We have also opened a youtube channel where you can find all these videos!<\/p>\n

Thank you for your question, see you soon.<\/p>\n

The French service team of RTI<\/p>\n

[Original French]<\/p>\n

Nous venons tout juste d’annoncer cette nouvelle dans le dernier “courriers des auditeurs” de ce dimanche 4 f\u00e9vrier.<\/p>\n

A partir du 25 Mars, le service fran\u00e7ais et le service espagnol de RTI cessera malheureusement de diffuser sur ondes courtes.<\/p>\n

La grille des programmes va donc un peu changer mais vous pourrez toujours nous \u00e9couter sur le nouveau site internet qui sera en ligne tr\u00e8s prochainement. Plus de vid\u00e9os seront post\u00e9es \u00e0 l’avenir. Nous avons d’ailleurs ouvert une cha\u00eene youtube sur laquelle vous pourrez retrouver toutes ces vid\u00e9os !<\/p>\n

Merci pour votre question, \u00e0 bient\u00f4t.<\/p>\n
