Dear Thomas,<\/p>\n

Just received the following message from CRI’s German language service.<\/p>\n

They will stop their German language on shortwave from August 31, 2021.<\/p>\n

The only way to listen to their German presence will be via the Internet. Sorry that they made this decision since i listened to them on a regular basis. The internet is no substitute for shortwave!<\/p>\n
