ADVENTIST WORLD RADIO ANNOUNCES THE CLOSURE OF FORLI
Adventist World Radio (AWR) officially announces the end of broadcasting
from its shortwave station located at Forli in Italy, effective  
December 31,
2001. The low powered 2.5 kW station in Forli has been on the air since
1985. The decision to cease broadcasting from the Forli site ultimately
became inevitable after AWR began leasing airtime from two more powerful
stations; Deutsche Telekom in Juelich, Germany, and ORF in Moosbrunn,
Austria.
Adventist World Radio is the international radio system of Christian
ministry operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church with its  
headquarters
in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA. AWR owns and operates a major shortwave
broadcasting station on the island of Guam, licensed by the FCC as KSDA,
with four transmitters at 100 kW . AWR also leases time on shortwave  
relay
stations in six additional countries; Germany, Austria, Slovakia, South
Africa, Madagascar, and the United Arab Emirates.
AWR also broadcasts on national radio throughout Russia, as well as in
Kazakstan and Uzbekistan. AWR also operates a satellite program  
distribution
system serving a local network of downlink stations located in Latin
America; from Guatemala to Argentina. Additionally, AWR operates a  
growing
internet-based system of program distribution accessible at  
www.awr.org. The
mission of Adventist World Radio is to speak the message of hope in  
Jesus to
the peoples of the world in their own languages.
