What happened
EWTN Chairman Michael Warsaw announced on October 30 that EWTN will cease the operation of its shortwave radio service. The service, which operated under the call sign WEWN since 1992, will shut down on October 31. The decision was recently confirmed by EWTN’s board of governors.

Why it matters
The closure is attributed to the decline of shortwave radio consumption amid the rapid global uptake of streaming and digital platforms. Michael Warsaw noted that high operating costs relative to the declining number of listeners, combined with the need for expensive facility repairs, led to the decision. EWTN plans to shift the use of shortwave to newer distribution channels.
