World Music Radio forced to suspend shortwave service

In an announcement on their Facebook page, WMR has said: "In a completely unexpected move the Danish authorities (Energistyrelsen) has withdrawn the permission to use out of band short wave frequencies (on a non interference basis) for World Music Radio (WMR).

"This means that WMR will be ceasing operations on 5840 and 15805 kHz tomorrow (Sunday September 15th 2019) at 2200 UTC. WMR may return to shortwave – using frequencies inside the official SW bands – but this may take several months.

"Meanwhile WMR continues working on getting on the air on medium wave 927 kHz in Copenhagen.

"Thanks for listening to WMR on short wave for the past almost two years. Please keep listening via internet streaming at www.wmr.dk "

This will no doubt also hit another low powered Danish station, Radio OZ-Viola which uses 5825 kHz, but no announcement from them yet.
