Foreign stations stop radio broadcasting

Sri Lankans who have for years listened to foreign stations on Short Wave (SW) radio are disappointed with the decision by many stations to stop broadcasting. The stations cite low funding and the integration of stations into smart phones as reasons for the move.
‘When I started to listen foreign radios six decades ago there were about 30 stations but today you don’t have so much on air. Some have moved to Internet and local FM, while others have closed down their services. (I used to) tune into Radio Australia for cricket commentary on weekends… It never happens today as the station had stopped its short wave broadcast… Australian government had to spend $30 million for its SW service and with people`s hue and cry over the use of public money, the government withdrew the service’, said a 70 year old listener.
