WRTH: quella del 2022 sarà l'ultima copia pubblicata. L'editore termina l'attività


 L'editore del WRTH ha deciso di terminare, dopo 24 anni, la propria attività. La brutta notizia viene riportata sul blog SWLing Post 

In pratica questa che stiamo per ricevere, quella del 2022, sarà l'ultima edizione. Poi il WRTH (World Radio & Tv Handbook) sparirà. 

Sempre che qualcuno non decida di rilevare e continuare l'attività, ma non la vedo facile.

Un altro segnale del declino del radioascolto, almeno come lo abbiamo vissuto in questi decenni. Un fatto legato soprattutto al progressivo abbandono delle onde corte e medie da parte dei broadcaster.

73, Giampiero.

L'annuncio, ovviamente, comapre anche sulla pagina Facebook del WRTH

Da SWLing post:

WRTH’s publisher, Nicholas Hardyman, shared the following announcement today:

Having produced this book for the past 24 years we are very sorry to announce that WRTH 2022 will be the final edition of World Radio TV Handbook produced and published by WRTH Publications. This was a hard decision to make and one we only made after a lot of discussion. We know that many people rely on WRTH and greatly enjoy getting the new edition every year. We realise that this news will be disappointing for many people.

We want to thank you all for your loyal support over the years.

I know this must have been a very difficult decision for the WRTH team. While it is disappointing news, I wish everyone at WRTH the very best. I’ve gotten to know this team, especially Nicholas, over the years and it’s been an honor to work with them and even write a few of their reviews. 

What now? 

I believe WRTH will maintain an online presence for years to come. I would encourage you to keep their website bookmarked. Of course, we’ll announce any changes or updates to the to the WRTH site.
