<div dir="ltr">O melhor é fecharem as ondas longas, médias, curtas, VHF, e acabar com a radiodifusão. Nada melhor que a internet e os smartphones para escutar radio. Então em Àfrica e em todos os paises sub-desenvolvidos é ver os habitantes nas favelas das cidades e nas palhotas do interior de portátil nas bancas e de smartphone no ouvido a escutarem rádio online. ..Sim porque hoje em dia, qualquer habitante de Africa não tem acesso a agua potável, mas tem computadores, smartphones, TV a cores LCD, Banheiras de hidromassagem (embora não tenham água) e imaginem que até encontrei em Luanda, apartamentos com Lareira!!!...E as palhotas com cozinha equipada a rigor...Maquinas de lavar, microondas, forno, exaustor ...Tudo da MIELE como na Europa e nos EUA!!!...Ora para que precisam eles de rádios de ondas medias, curtas e longas?</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><b>Cumprimentos: CT4RK Carlos Mourato - Sines - Portugal</b></div><div><br></div><b>Best regards from: CT4RK Carlos Mourato - Sines - Portugal</b><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Visite o meu canal Youtube em:</b></div><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/CT4RK?feature=guide" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/user/CT4RK?feature=guide</a> <b><br></b><div><b><br></b><div><b>Visit my youtube channel at:</b></div><div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/CT4RK?feature=guide" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/user/CT4RK?feature=guide</a> <b><br></b><br><div><br><br></div></div></div></div></div></div>

with Irish abroad<br>
<br>
The Irish Times report that RTÉ has announced the imminent closure of<br>
its longwave service, which was the last remaining broadcast radio<br>
service still available to the Irish in the UK.<br>
<br>
The move comes six years after the shutdown of its medium-wave<br>
service. At that time, RTÉ officials assured the Irish abroad of its<br>
commitment to them, and that the longwave service would continue.<br>
<br>
The shutdown, announced with only one month’s notice, is scheduled to<br>
take place on October 27th. The news is unlikely to cause a stir in<br>
Ireland. RTÉ says 98 per cent of its listeners have other options.<br>
Most of us used to spending our days online could be forgiven for<br>
wondering why on earth this technology wasn’t mothballed years ago.<br>
<br>
Who will be affected? The Irish in the UK, particularly the elderly<br>
and vulnerable, will have a vital link with home permanently severed.<br>
This is a group that is unlikely to protest. Many won’t even know<br>
they’re about to lose their radio service until the day they go to<br>
turn it on and it’s not there.<br>
<br>
RTÉ has been broadcasting Radio 1 to Britain since 1932. Older people<br>
rely on it as a valuable link with a country they left years ago; for<br>
many, it is their last link with Ireland.<br>
<br>
RTÉ says listeners in the UK can tune into the station on the internet<br>
or satellite, but these solutions, which require cost and know-how,<br>
will be inaccessible for many. RTÉ’s digital radio alternative, DAB,<br>
has no reach in either Britain or the North. Longwave is not perfect:<br>
it’s unusable at night, when its signal is overpowered by an Algerian<br>
station sharing the same channel. But it keeps people connected during<br>
the day, and many people use it to listen to GAA matches from home.<br>
<br>
Last week Brendie O’Brien, chairman of the GAA in Britain, described<br>
the impending shutdown as “a massive setback to the whole of the Irish<br>
community”.<br>
<br>
“We have a lot of old people who won’t have any access to Ireland<br>
whatsoever once that [the longwave service] goes.” O’Brien described<br>
Radio 1’s role in the lives of many emigrants as that of providing “a<br>
home from home, and the shutdown would be depriving them of that.”<br>
