LUXEMBURG: Radio Luxembourg's English Service is to close down at the
end of the year. According to John Catlett, General Manager of the
English service, keeping the station going is no longer economic.
Instead, owners CLT will be concentrating on Irish station Atlantic
252 in which they have an 80 percent stake. Luxembourg closed its AM
service earlier in the year, but has continued to be broadcast on
satellite. However, like most of the other commercial satellite radio
stations, it has been unable to attract sufficient advertisers and
sponsors for the service. The very last programme will go out on
December 31st, just a few weeks after its 59th birthday. Atlantic 252,
which currently broadcasts on Long Wave to most of the British Isles,
may replace Luxembourg on satellite. (AMFM)
