Radio Prague 2008 competition result

Emil Zátopek Dear listeners and readers, This year's Radio Prague Competition asked you to answer the following question: Which Czech sportsperson or team has particularly impressed you? The deadline was June 13 and we received a great many entries. Two finalists were selected from the mailbags received by each of our six language sections, along with eight other particularly interesting entries. All ten will receive a special prize. The overall winner of the 2008 Radio Prague competition is Jörg Teuschl from Germany, Congratulations to him! The first prize, a week-long stay for two in Prague, is sponsored by OREA HOTELS, one of the biggest hotel chains in the Czech Republic. You can read the entry of Jörg Teuschl here: Even at an advanced age, the Czech sportsman who has made the biggest impression on me is Emil Zátopek. Why? When I was a small boy we finally saw footage of the Helsinki Olympics in 1952 several weeks after the amazing games were actually held, at the cinema in our village. The star we most admired was Emil Zátopek, who they called the Prague Locomotive. We were really impressed by the way, his face twisted with pain and with his tongue hanging out, he overcame his adversaries, and how every competitor tried to achieve victory with a frightful grimace, just like Zátopek. Winning entry (cont'd) English section finalists: Yukiko Maki, Japan MacDonald Greg, Canada Other winners: Roy Kitson, Great Britain Ashraful Islam, Bangladesh Nobuya Kato, Japan Avinash Premraj, India Tom Blaha, USA Alon K. Raab, USA Mark Schiefelbein, USA Li Ming, China

Polish Radio External Service begins longwave broadcasting

July 4th, 2008
by Andy Sennitt
Media Network

From July 1, Polish Radio External Service has started broadcasting on 198
kHz longwave. The 198 LW frequency is shared with Polish Radio Parliament,
which will continue to broadcast when parliament is in session. At all other
times Polish Radio External Service transmits on this frequency.

Polish Radio External Service broadcasts in seven different languages:
English, Hebrew, Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, German, and Polish. English
language transmissions on 198 kHz are at 0700 and 1200 UTC, available when
Radio Parliament is not broadcasting.

The 198 LW frequency can be picked up in Poland and is also able reach
Polish diaspora in neighbouring countries, especially Germany, Ukraine,
Belarus and Russia, providing up-to-date information on what's going on in
Poland.

Shortwave, Internet and satellite transmissions remain unaffected.

Andy Sennitt comments: Unfortunately, the longwave service won't benefit
listeners in the UK or Western Europe as the frequency is shared with BBC
Radio 4.
