This is a classic from the end of the Cold War: the last transmission in English from Radio Berlin International, from the Germany Democratic Republic (DDR), on October 2, 1990. The next day, with the reunification of Germany, RBI disappeared, and its structure went to Deutsche Welle. The editors of the program really weren’t happy, as you can listen. More than 20 years later, one of the journalists who participates in the transmission, Hardy Graupner, still works for DW's English service.
This is the complete program, which I’ve recorded from the site Pcjmedia.com.
This is a short edited version from the site Intervalsignals.net.
I am a ardent listener of Radio Berlin International. I used to have lot of QSL cards, Pendants, stickers of the same. Unfortunate to loose such a station after the unification.
