Iceland's RÚV to end SW relays of main newscasts



The Icelandic public broadcaster RÚV will end the SW relays of its main newscasts by the end of the year. Since the 1970s, RUV had leased SW capacities at the Gufunes Telecommunicatons Centre in Reykjavík to serve Icelandic ships and
expatriots in Europe and North America.
