MADAGASCAR Fire puts RNW Madagascar relay station off the air. There has
been a fire in the high voltage room of the external mains power supply at
Radio Netherlands Worldwide's relay station in Madagascar. Firefighters
from the Madagascan capital Antananarivo managed to bring the blaze under
control within hours. The fire destroyed the high voltage circuit breaker
equipment, so broadcasts from Madagascar will be suspended for at least
three days and possibly up to a week. Some transmissions have already been
moved to other sites, but because of the Christmas holidays this has taken
longer than usual to organise. Additional changes are pending and will be
published when confirmed.
