Jetzt geht es wohl dem deutschen Dienst aus Tokyo auf Kurzwelle an den
Kragen ?

Was heisst 'cut', - ganz und gar? oder wirklich nur kürzen.

JAPAN. NHK to cut international radio to focus on TV
Text of report in English by Japanese news agency Kyodo

Tokyo, 25 July: Japan Broadcasting Corp (NHK) said Tuesday [25 July]
it plans to cut radio programmes for Italian, German, Swedish and
Malay speakers to shift emphasis on television programmes for its
international services, marking the first reduction in the number of
languages used to run its programmes.

Currently, NHK transmits shortwave radio programmes in 22 languages.
The reduction is scheduled to take effect in October next year.

Shortwave radio programmes for Europe, excluding Russia, and for
North America and Hawaii will also be trimmed, according to NHK.
French programmes will be limited to audiences in Africa and those
in Spanish restricted to Latin America, it said.

The move comes along with a decline in demand for those radio
programmes, according to NHK. Television and the internet are taking
on greater roles than radio in Europe and North America, it said.

More than 100m yen [856,000 US dollars] will be saved as a result of
these reductions and the funds will be used to increase programmes
in English, according to NHK. Source: Kyodo News Service, Tokyo, in
