This ongoing vanishing act is more dismaying and saddening than I can say. I learned so much from the superb English-language programming of past years - the best in the world, in my opinion. The disappearance of almost the entire English-language radio slate was a tragic loss. Now the Dutch language is also vanishing? What on earth is going on? Where can I find an explanation of these changes?

since the 1960s-ive listened to RNW-in English and Dutch over shortwave and now internet.some broadcasts remain-maybe we will still hear the bells.its RNWs trademark signature.---------Dank U Wel.p.s.remember Happy Station?I do.Oh and from those days my Loewe Opta-Truxa-4-band tube radio still plays-its fully operational just as in the 1960s-it is 51 years young.

hi there paul here is the site address ,ring them if you need them in a hurry ,say gareth d told you to ring

After 12 years sailing around the globe and everyday listening and tuning to catch the sound of this bel gave me the only link with my homeland, I really feel very sorry and sad for this decision.

Good chance TSWI will continue into the new version of RNW. More info coming soon.

oh dear...the day comes at last..that we never wanted to come..

It is a shame that it will end the way it is.This should never have happened.

I am going to miss Radio Netherlands, unless the CBC overnight continues to do re-broadcasts in the wee hours of the morning. I especially enjoy
The State We're In. Thank you for many years of great broadcasts.
