The chairman of the board of Rádio e Televisão de Portugal (RTP),
Guilherme Costa, said on Tuesday that the company has “every reason” to
suspend the shortwave transmissions of RDP Internacional. Mr Costa,
quoted by the Lusa news agency, said such a platform is obsolete from
the technical point of view, is generally poor quality in terms of
reception, and is expensive, adding that discussions about shortwave
began within the organisation in May 2009.
He said that RDP had received 190 messages on the suspension of
shortwave broadcasts, and more than half came via email from people who
can listen to broadcasts on the Internet. RTP announced in May that it
would temporarily suspend the shortwave broadcasts of RDP Internacional
from 1 June, citing the low number of listeners and the need to reduce
costs.
