Dear Friends,
On March 3, 2004 Radio Continent was taken off the air. I have been informed by Serhiy Sholokh is giving us a present for Ukraine’s Independence Day.
Sholokh wrote, “Yes, it is my present for all of you, MY DEAR FRIENDS for the Independence
Day!!! And you have to turn you FM radio to 94.2. It is new frequency, new

only JAZZ FM!!!”
Please let all your friends know about this…
Best regards,
Vasyl Pawlowsky
