Les Baer 1911 For Sale

The Curia said stop: Radio and closes

"It 's like an abortion." Told by a priest, is a powerful concept. But not Don Armando Carmona nothing to hide the bitterness mixed with anger that disturbs the soul for a little over a week. Since the leaders of the Curia, the mouth of Bishop and Monsignor Maurizio Carminati Lucio Gervasoni, informed him that in September and Radio, where he is director for five years, must close its doors. On the Hill are no longer willing to pay the approximately € 200 000 which are used to run a broadcaster for twenty years spreading the Word along with news, debates, sports and cultural activities. Born as
Radio Emmanuel on the initiative of Don Erminio Brasi, a priest of the Sacred Heart, with the aim to unite and save the frequencies supplied to twenty parishes (including this Sarnico, Grumello del Monte, Mornico, at least, Villongo), for fifteen years has given space mainly to religious themes and preaching. Radio Maria in a sort of version of Bergamo, in fact. Until five years ago when, for personal reasons, Don has spent Brasi's hand. The then Bishop Roberto Amadei decided to entrust the radio of the Diocese of Don Armando Carmona, recently returned to Bergamo (as pastor of High Selino) after 12 years in Bolivia. The name change was not on the radio and a re-painting. He wanted to be, and was also a revival.
Thanks to expert advice as Claudio Astori, planning was introduced to pop music. But most came cutting programs more journalistic the press release wires direct from studio guests with live matches dell'Albinoleffe chronicles. Everything on the shoulders of an agile, with very few figures in the contract (reduced over the years) and many volunteers. Recently, there were over sixty. People of all types and backgrounds, from young professionals to the oratory, the student teacher. A diverse but cohesive universe in an effort to give voice to the issues Catholic (thanks in particular to operations of Don Chino Pezzoli, the parish priest Fr David hub Don Armando and the same) but also in secular subjects. The microphone was left open to all, regardless of and beyond the politics and religion. And slowly, in a publishing scene is not easy, radio and managed to gain its own space. Small, yes, but growing. Only
that does not add up. Or rather, having rescheduled always foot the bill, the Curia decided to say enough. Closure means for the issuer. Why Radio And, while referring to the diocese, never entered the galaxy of Sesaab, the holding company controlled by the Curia same editorial with more than 70 per cent stake and which publishes, among others, L'Eco di Bergamo, The Province Como and Bergamo Alta Radio Tv 's always been a "daughter of a Lesser God", which were never given the resources and amenities that have been dished out elsewhere but with both hands (unless repent after some time).
The official announcement of the closure, as mentioned, was given last week. In September, Radio Association will meet Pope John XXIII (the formal properties) that, except when thoughts unlikely, take note of the unavailability of the Curia to finance further deficits of the radio. The issuer will close its doors and the frequencies will be offered for sale. Don Armando
would not comment, but hard to accept the order of silence. Not for himself, but for the many volunteers who gave time and passion to keep alive the voice of Radio And: "It 's a time of great bitterness, but I am also proud to have experienced an extraordinary experience and human. It threatens to break up a precious heritage. Right now, made the basis for our publishing project, something important was being born. It 's like an abortion ... "
That is, unless an intervention at the eleventh hour of the new bishop. Beschi Monsignor Francis is a man sensitive to the issue of communication, as demonstrated in its previous experience of Brescia. The closure of the radio of the Diocese a few months of taking office, while motivated by understandable economic reasons and not motivated by desire punitive, it would sound like a discordant note.

Heart And Blurred Vision In Left Eye Causes

From July 31 the party platform TivùSat

Together with the satellite, Rai, Mediaset and LA7. From July 31 TivùSat part in Italy, the first digital satellite platform will be sufficient to buy a decoder (the Sky is not good, nor that of the digital terrestrial) which will cost around 100 €, insert a card free of charge and make a phone call for activation . All national channels do not pay, now who does not have terrestrial digital television can only see if you subscribed to Sky, will be open to all. "There is a pay-TV, will be open only to publishers who spread channels do not pay - says the company president Luca Balestrieri - And it is absolutely complementary to digital terrestrial. It is a duty, which comes rather late years, in France and England platforms like ours are already there. " The aim of the promoters of TivùSat is, they say in unison, Balestrieri by the Deputy Director General of RAI Giancarlo Leone, managing director at RTI-Mediaset Marco Giordani Vice President of Media-Telecom Italy La7 John Stella, of "wanting to achieve that 5 per cent of Italians, and are at least three million, who can not see all channels, without being forced to make a costly subscription to Sky. " Possible, however, it is just that? For days in the political world we are talking about a war of frequencies to Sky. Although it is true that at least for the moment both Rai and Mediaset unencrypted swear that their general networks, this one tomorrow will be possible. In addition, RAI has a contract with Sky expires in (just at the end of July) and is negotiating to renew it. Someone even said that it has already decided not to renew it at all. But Giancarlo Leone replies: "The three networks are generally not on the negotiating table, the rest of the offer Rai will be seen or not will be seen on Sky, depending on how it will end this negotiation." Mediaset things do not change for now because the agreement with Sky (for Mediaset plus) is still standing, will expire no sooner than a couple of years. "Let me be clear - Marco Giordani said of RTI-Mediaset - which we do not take a euro from Sky for our general networks, so it's wrong say that we go down by Sky because in fact we never went up. " In fact, what would he change? It may not change almost anything, and could change a lot. Those who have already bought the digital terrestrial decoder can do without to buy TivùSat, however, will see everything. Who will buy the decoder TivùSat because he has not yet bought the digital terrestrial TV will have seen everything but the dish. Anyone who has just the dish and see everything with a subscription to Sky can do for now unless you buy the decoder TivùSat but maybe tomorrow will be obliged to do so. The participants of the new company will repeat: there is no war of frequencies. But some believe little. For Paolo Gentiloni (Pd), TivùSat is "a giant outlawed because it is still a concentration of actors involved in the integrated communications system," while Antonio Di Pietro (IDV) 'is a menage a trois that serves only to bring money to Mediaset. The fact Rai waiver of € 125 million from Sky satellite platform for this. " (Corriere.it)
