Yes indeed...something called the "European Radio Project", funded by the European Commission.
This will be a new radio station, with a consortium of 14 broadcasters contributing frequencies and transmitters, DW providing editorial coordination, RNW launching the web portal, and RFI providing overall financial coordination. English will be one of the languages in the initial programming launch in April 2008 -- surprising, since neither the BBC nor RTE appear to be directly involved in the project. No word as to whether or not shortwave frequencies will be part of the frequency mix. See http://www.radionetherlands.nl/currentaffairs/071214-european-radio. I've asked around some contacts amongst the broadcasters involved...will update everyone as new information becomes available.
