---------------------------------------------- So long, RNW: Farewell to the Dutch listener Published: March 28, 2012 - 2:33 pm | By RNW
RNW says farewell to their Dutch listeners with a historic 24-hour farewell broadcast. On May 10 and 11 the editors, correspondents, former staff and listeners pay their respect to the end of an era. The program brings together many new wonderful memories and special moments in radio history of 65 years. Once more, the World Service will bring that special feeling of home to all corners of the world, the feeling of the radio as a friend in a foreign land. And RNW continues. In the future, RNW will bring free speech to parts of the world where press freedom is under pressure. For people who are deprived of independent information. We look back at how it all began with music from Radio Oranje and Jetty Paërl. Of course there is attention to the many news, because we have briefed you for many years about what happened in the Netherlands. Like the flood in 1953, but also the murder of Pim Fortuyn which RNW covered in its own way. Of course there is much space for our special programs about culture, language, for expats, seafarers, and truck drivers. The music that RNW made is discussed, and also your memories of the Worldwide will be given space. We have spent years with passion and joy to work for you. In this marathon broadcast, we say farewell to the Dutch broadcasting, but we will also tell you how it will continue after this year with RNW. Reception The 24-hour marathon starts on 10 May at 22:00 and lasts until 11 May 22:00 (Dutch summer time). The radio broadcast can be heard via shortwave in Europe (with summaries on shortwave in the rest of the world), satellite (BVN) and www.wereldomroep.nl (with video). Listeners can tune in the Benelux on 1296 AM. Look for all frequencies www.wereldomroep.nl/ontvangst . _____________________________________________________________ PROGRAM OVERVIEW (subject to change; Dutch time [=UTC+2h] ) THURSDAY, May 10, 2012 22.00-23.00 pm: the start We look back at the start of RNW over 65 years ago with much historical material from the archives and a great big band plays the music of yesteryear with Jetty van Oranje (Jetty Paërl).

Radio played a role in maintaining the faith. 02.00-03.00 pm: From shortwave to satellite and Internet. From a cracking, poor reception to the smartphone and mobile applications allowing you to access news and radio and even TV in many places in the world. Back then, we sent letters and telegrams, and now communicates are via Twitter and Facebook. Rocus de Joode of the distribution program talks about technology. On the RNW compounds, you can see a radio van from the 1950s. 03.00-04.00 pm: Happy Station, the most famous program of RNW Begun in 1927 and now there is a restart from Taiwan. Also we play a sound image, because the program was presented in multiple languages, something that is almost unimaginable today. 04.00-05.00 pm: Expats speaking Which groups of Dutch citizens abroad now exist? There are the adventurers, the workers, refugees, the idealists and many more. Who are they and what do they do abroad? 05.00-06.00 pm: Culture for Dutch citizens abroad.

Worldwide viewing the news always in their own way, just a little different, just a little more background. 08.00-9.00 pm: Cabaret and New Year receptions in 65 years RNW.

Guests are Jeroen Pauw and Ferry de Groot. 15.00-16.00 am: Language and RNW. Language is a very important bond with your homeland. And of course during the last few years a lot has changed in this area. How newscasters talk now and how they did 30 years ago is a world of a difference. RNW also has a very special writing and speaking style, especially for Dutch nationals abroad, but this is only part of it. Language is also culture, the connection with your homeland. The psychology of language is very important for Dutch citizens abroad. In the contemporary political debate it plays another important role. Because you have to speak Dutch if you want to live here, but do the Dutch in foreign countries speak their languages? 16.00-17.00 pm: Expat on Air. Farewell to expatriates and emigrants, with which the broadcast had also all begun: 'we will miss each other'. 17.00-18.00 pm: Typical RNW - programs for soldiers. The programs for the military have always played an important role. What was and is that role of RNW? Of course earlier in Indonesia, but also for example in Lebanon and Uruzgan. 18.00-19.00 pm: News at RNW, but slightly different. Worldwide viewing the news always in their own way, just a little different, just a little more background. 19.00-20.00 pm: The end of the Dutch branch of the World Service. Once more a very vigorous debate about the usefulness and necessity of this decision. RNW director Jan Hoek will debate with Telegraaf's main editor Sjuul Paradijs and former RNW main editor Joop Daalmeijer. 20.00-21.00 pm: Farewell from RNW All the famous announcers that the company has produced. With lots of fond memories of our company. 21.00-22.00 pm The last hour! In the last hour, with pride and a tear we say goodbye to our listeners.
