## Tuning Out the Analog: Radio Belarus Ends Shortwave, Mediumwave, and Longwave Broadcasts
Radio Belarus (96.4), the official international voice of Belarus, concluded its transmissions on shortwave, mediumwave, and longwave frequencies on April 1, 2016. This marked a significant shift for the station, ending an era of analog broadcasting that reached listeners across vast distances. While the exact reasons behind the decision haven't been fully detailed publicly, the move reflects a broader global trend towards digital distribution of radio content.
Radio Belarus, broadcasting from its studios located at 220807, st. Red, 4 g, Brest, Belarus, served as a key source of news and programming for the Belarusian diaspora and international listeners interested in the region. For many years, its analog signal offered a lifeline to those seeking information and cultural connection beyond Belarus' borders. The cessation of these broadcasts represents a change in how audiences access the station's content.
