RIP WRS

The WRS closes down today... I can't help but feel sad with this...

When I first to heard them they were still the WRG... Mark Butcher was the morning host. It was good to know what was happening in geneva in english... understanding it the 1st time around and not having to hear it 4 times (as in my early french days)

They grew, i grew, the expat community changed and it was so reassuring to hear them every morning, with swiss news, BBC news, updating everyone on the results of the almost weekly referendums...
I really enjoy the festival season, in which they would cover Montreaux and Paleo with good and entertaining details...

It is a pity that they are closing down... it made my life easier when i arrived in a new country with a new language... i wonder who will do that for the new expats to come?
