RFE/RL to end its broadcasts to Romania
July 3rd, 2008 - 16:24 UTC by Andy Sennitt

Just a few days after the BBC announced it is closing its Romanian service
on 1 August, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty has announced that it will do
likewise, also on 1 August.  However, unlike the BBC World Service, RFE/RL's
Romanian-language broadcasts to Moldova and the Transdniester region will
continue.

The Romanian Service began experimental broadcasting on July 14, 1950, and
was fully operational by May 1, 1951. For years, its broadcasts were a thorn
in the side of Romania's communist rulers who, according to a 2006 Romanian
government report, may have been responsible for the deaths of three RFE/RL
Romanian service directors.
