Starting on March 1st, RRI is diversifying the means by which we reach you. RRI is offering you, once again, a 30 minute program in English, broadcast daily in the DRM system, in high frequency radio bandwidths.

The transmission, coming to you through the World Radio Network from a transmitter in Norway, is aimed at the UK, between 17:00 and 17:30 UTC (summer time) and 18.00-18.30 UTC (winter time), on the frequency of 7460 kHz. Starting March first, we are waiting for your feedback on the digitally broadcast RRI program.


We are also resuming, under a new contract, a weekly podcast in English, with an RSS feed; the RRI program will be available on the WRN servers, but also on podcast directories, such as iTunes and Juicer.
