INTERNATIONAL DX NEWS GERMANY DW plans to cut half a dozen language services: Spanish to Latin America, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Slovenian and Japanese. Portuguese to Brazil would remain only via Internet. This is not definitive, but there is a great possibility that this happens. It is is not a reason of savings, they say, just a different behavior of the cultural and informative politics toward other countries. This politics intends not to favour overseas services to areas/countries where information markets are private and exist without being under state control.
