Update on 693 kHz (a.k.a. now ex-NHK Radio 2)
They are airing retune message, saying Radio 2 programmes have been moved to NHK AM & NHK FM. As of programmes like Chinese-language news have moved to NHK World Japan.
Here’s the audio in needed (full message closure at 02:53)
and if you’re wondering the message (as far as i could try to add translation into English & text in Japanese):
JP: NHKのラジオ第2放送は、3月30日午前0時5分に終了しました これまでラジオ第2放送で放送していたほとんどの番組は、3月30日からNHK AMとNHK FMに移行しています。 この時間に放送していた中国語ニュースは、ラジオ第2での放送を終了しました。 NHK WORLD JAPANのホームページやアプリをご利用ください。
EN: NHK Radio 2 ceased broadcasting at 12:05 AM on March 30th. Most programs previously broadcast on Radio 2 have moved to NHK AM and NHK FM as of March 30th. The Chinese-language news program that was broadcast at this time has also ceased broadcasting on Radio 2. Please use the NHK WORLD JAPAN website or app.
’till we meet again, [NHK] Radio 2…
Apparently, 693 kHz isn’t alone, as far as I checked on other ex-NHK Radio 2 frequencies, they also air the same message
