The multilingual service of Voice of Greece (ERA5) on shortwave has been severely decreased during the last months. The summer schedule, which has been running from March and will continue until October, contains 4 international broadcasts of 3 hours daily in English, French, German and Russian. It actually broadcasts 2 fewer services than the previous semester, when it also featured two more programs, in Albanian and Italian, resulting into a multilingual program of 5 hours altogether.

Deutsche Welle is planning to abandon the Greek-speaking radio service, despite initial assurances from the German government for preserving it. "The final decisions of the DW authorites will be taken during the current year, 2011," he replied the representative of the Director of Deutsche Welle (DW) Eric Beterman. In March the Broadcasting Council of Deutsche Welle will meet again and they will get a final decision on the station's programming in the 2010-2013 period, part of which is, among others, the suspension of the Greek-speaking radio show.
