Charleston Radio International announced yesterday, via Facebook, that it was shutting down its broadcasts; a real shame for a radio station that had distinguished itself for its programming of non-trivial music, far from the usual songs heard everywhere.

Rádio Clube de Ribeirão Preto, Brazil

Rádio Clube de Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil, reactivates its old transmitter on short waves, at a frequency of 15415 kHz. They did this because the Brazilian government expanded the law for migrating radio stations from medium waves to FM, also including concessions in short waves and tropical waves. This could result in the temporary return of many inactive Brazilian radio concessions on tropical waves and short waves. When they reactivate the short wave and tropical wave frequencies, they will request migration to FM and thus the owners gain another FM radio.
