<![CDATA[Rediffusion to close end of this month]]>Just read from the papers that it will stop broadcasting on 30/4/12 after

63 years here. It has been a good companion to many senior citizens who can only converse in dialects all these years and it has to go...
Many of the listeners are upset and mourn the loss of an icon which has
kept them company for so long...
Wonder if the govt will step in to fund the organization so that it can continue to serve its loyal listeners :please:

RediffusionSG:
Thanks all for the fond memories and support of Rediffusion.

Rediffusion will stop broadcasting on the 30th April 2012.
Although that is the official statement, but we still keep our spirits up and have not given up hope.

The news has taken some statements out of context. It does not take $1million to 'save' Singapore, as running a radio station is a long-term 'project', and it is not a mere issue that $1m can solve.

It takes a corporation with experience to buy and run Rediffusion, together with experienced operational staff and talents.

We, the staff of Rediffusion will strive our best and help preserve Redigold to carry on through the generations!

Meanwhile, we are collecting all memories, photos and videos on our official Redigold facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/rdfGOLD

Please share all your memories there and don't let Rediffusion fade away!

I grew up listening to Rediffusion, esp love the 剧场 by 徐惠民 and 颜贵娟.

If our children listens to Rediffusion as much as I did then, it would be 华文没问题!
