Colourful radio will stop on 14 November
----------------------------------------
The controversial public radio network for young immigrants,
Colourful Radio, will stop its satellite and cable transmissions on
Sunday in accordance with a court ruling last month that it must
close or
substantially alter its programme content. Programming on the
Internet will continue, until its future becomes absolutely clear.
NOS has asked cable companies not to reassign the slots reserved for
Colorful Radio in case it decides to resume transmissions. Another
urban station, FunX, has indicated that it wants to take over these
slots. FunX is run by the local public broadcasters in the four
largest Dutch cities, and believes it has the support of State
Secretary for the Media Medy van der Laan in its efforts to extend
coverage beyond its core area. Commercial station Radio 538 would
also like to use the same cable frequencies for its Juize FM station.
