[DX] YLEn ulkomaanpalvelu sulautetaan R Peiliin



** FINLAND. Dear Mr Hauser, Due to a YLE Radio reorganization 
(announced earlier) I am  leaving YLE at the end of the month. 
International Broadcasting as a unit within YLE is being merged with 
YLE Radio Peili (a talk channel, mainly internet, used to be DAB until 
its demise this fall). The foreign language programming except Russian 
was axed here already in 2002.

Personally, I want to thank you, Mr Hauser, for the services in making 
news about stations and service available, not only in recent years 
but as early as the late 80s at least. I recall there was duplicated 
News about International Radio that we used to get. I believe you were 
associated with them. There was no internet, and the WRTH was outdated 
soon after printing - and thus private information services were of 
much avail. 

In a recent edition you wondered why the FM English newscast about 
Finland is not aired internationally. Well, the decision to stop 
international distribution in 2002 was a stand in principle, and no 
effort is being made to subvent it, of course. That was a corporate 
policy decision; there has never (since the 50s) been any Foreign 
Office involvement in Finnish external radio. 

- The newscast is on the internet as video, though. You will see in it 
some familiar voices from the past. -

YLE Mondo (successor to the Capital FM) is not on the internet. Much 
of the material heard on the station is on the net, from the original 
producers. 

For technical schedule information, or other needs of the kind, you 
may contact in the future Mr Janne Nieminen, technical manager. at 
first name, surname AT yle.fi With best regards (Juhani Niinisto
(at YLE international radio 1977-2005), Dec 26, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Mr Niinisto, best of luck to you in whatever you do next. I have 
always appreciated your initiative in clarifying matters about YLE, 
even if I have not asked you directly (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING 
DIGEST)
