Shutdown

In November 2017, Yle announced that they would be shutting down the broadcast in December of that year. Yle cited the availability of other Latin-language media on the internet as one of the reasons for the shutdown. Another reason was the difficulty in finding suitable replacements for the programme's ageing producers. The announcement resulted in a public campaign to save the program. More than 3,000 listeners wrote to the station in protest, resulting in the show being extended through 2019. The final broadcast was on 14 June 2019.
