\n <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is indeed a pleasant experience to listen to the English service of Radio Romania International. I have been tuning in to the short-wave broadcasts of RRI for quite some time and I have to express my appreciation to you. The friendly voice of the broadcasters of RRI coupled with the high quality and content of programmes make listening a pleasure. You have programmes on politics, business, economy, culture and sports to keep listeners well-informed about events in Romania, Europe and the world at large. RRI website is well-structured and technically of a high standard. Your programmes are informative and entertaining. In my opinion RRI is one of the best radio stations in Europe.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

Christopher Lewis<\/em> from Britain wrote us the following message:<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

\u201cI have been listening to RRI for 16 years or more now. Why do I listen? because your programs are interesting and they make me want to tune in, almost daily. I knew little to nothing about Romania before I started to listen to RRI and it has taught me a lot. there are very few international broadcasters left on short-wave in Europe. RRI provides excellent coverage of Romanian events and those I neighboring countries. I like checking the website to, because it provides me with extra news, frequency information, live audio and much, much more. I like RRI on Facebook too. \u201c<\/em><\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

And here is what one of our listeners from Nigeria, Mr Sanushi Isah Dankaba, wrote about our programs:<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

\u201cI am a faithful listener to Radio Romania International. Signal is very strong and your programs in English are fabulous. Although I could listen to the radio online, I continue to use my short-Wave radio. I enjoy listening to the programs of interesting countries, such as Romania. I observe that being a listener to RRI and an online fan is both an honor and a privilege. I am also a gainer, in the sense that I enjoy quality programs with excellent audio and video quality. I don\u2019t have to hunt for other radio stations for my daily quota of the latest news and reports on Romania, Europe and the world. RRI is reliable and unbiased in projecting Romania in its true perspective. Imparting valuable information on the socio-political economic , cultural and historical affairs is a special treat of RRI. Its English service is a boon for those listeners, like myself, for whom English is a second language. My friends, relatives and myself are appreciative of the fact that RRI has given us various programs over the years that are educative, absorbing, entertaining and interesting. Isn\u2019t it exciting that we can expect so much by the flick of a key in browsing RRI \u2018s well structured website. With Romanian music in my heart, RRI is a friendly source of music of various genres — be it traditional folk, classical, jazz, popular. To me, the hardworking staff members of RRI, with their full dedication and with a lot of interest for its listeners have made RRI one of the best loved radio stations in Europe\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

And here is what Mitul Kansal from India, wrote :<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat inspired me to take part in the contest is the fact that for me, Radio Romania has been best means of communication and information since 2004. It has always provided me with plenty of information about Romanias culture and especially, music. \u201c<\/em><\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n

Our heartfelt thanks go to all those who took the time to answer the questions, also adding some extra wording on what spurred them to take part in our contest.<\/p>\n


\n <\/p>\n
