Abbiamo BISOGNO
di voi RADIOASCOLTATORI, dei vostri rapporti di ascolto per permettere a noi di
continuare
a trasmettere sulle onde corte.
In the end, once again our broadcasters demand that we get listeners' response, otherwise it's difficult to show their supporters that anybody is listening.
Questa è la richiesta di Alfredo E. Cotroneo di
NEXUS-Int'l Broadcasting Association, avanti con gli ascolti, inviamo lettere e rapporti di ascolto delle loro trasmissioni. Summer 2012 schedule for IRRS-Shortwave http://www.nexus.org/Schedules/IRRS-SW_A12.html
Hello there from Milano,
Italy,
Dear listeners and friends,
It's a difficult time for any shortwave broadcasting station, you
probably know that already. For a number of reasons, stations again close theirs
transmitting sites, and leave the air, indefinitely. Some other reduced the number of
hours, and are just about to shut down, anytime now.
As you know, it's a difficult time also for everyone individually and company-wise, and not only for those employed by large government
broadcasters who shut down their shortwave operations to "save" tax money.
Today I want to share the content of a phone call with one of our
long-time broadcasters, who will remain anonymous. Our role at IRRS and NEXUS-IBA
has always been to provide the best possible signal to any desired target,
but this is not enough. Our broadcasters are extremely concerned by the general
lack of response from shortwave listeners. The essence of each broadcaster
request is quite the same: "We need response, WE NEED LISTENERS's RESPONSE!,
to allow us to continue broadcasting on shortwave." We always made this point very
clear, when we tell you that we do need comments to our program content, NOT just
mere
reception reports.
Without those who produce a program, but have no station on their own,
and rely on us to bring their messages to you, we have no reason to exist. Our
mission is to be a "nexus", i.e. a link between a program producer and
our listeners. We do not discriminate, we are not a religious station, we are not biased by
any political or religious idea, and we want to present those many different opinions that our broadcasting members want to share. This is what we
wrote in the NEXUS association charter (http://www.nexus.org/charter.htm) and the
essence of our daily work in international broadcasting.
In the end, once again our
broadcasters demand that we get listeners' response, otherwise it's difficult to show their supporters that anybody is
listening. Most of those on our station are not asking for money, but just
listeners comments, phone calls or any kind of response to show that you are being
reached with their message.
I look forward to your comments and suggestions. We will reply to each
email personally. Please also mention whether you listen to our programs, on
which frequency, and when, and if we can do better to continue to be your
favorite station. This will help us greatly to improve and stay on the air.

Thank you and stay tuned!
73s,
Alfredo
