I guess this mix-up has to do with a bureaucratic division of the departments at Swedish Radio. Somehow, both the English and Russian services don't consider local immigrant languages to be a part of the External Radio Service. (There's some disagreement over the status of the German Service.) The Swedish is counted out too since it's produced by the Home Service.
This is from the text portion supplied to Radio Sweden's audio file: "Radio Sweden has been broadcasting since 1938 to the entire world on shortwave and to Europe on the medium wave originally in six different languages but since recently in English and Russian only and in German on the web." http://www.sr.se/webbradio/webbradio.asp?type=db&Id=2262525&BroadcastDate=&IsBlock= And the Russian announcement talks only about two languages in the External Service - Russian and English - omitting German. The former languages of the External Service are given as Belarusian, Estonian, French, German, Italian, Latvian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish for the overseas Swedes. (Note that Romani isn't mentioned.) http://www.sr.se/RS/red/ind_rys.html Sergei --- On Fri, 3/19/10, Glenn Hauser <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Glenn Hauser <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Swprograms] Radio Sweden's mandate...similar to RCi's mandate... > To: "Shortwave programming discussion" <[email protected]> > Date: Friday, March 19, 2010, 1:40 AM > Where did you get that idea?
