Answer 1

Good question.  Honestly, I don't think Belgium has ever bothered.

As a long time SWL (shortwave listener), I can't ever recall ever hearing a Belgium Gov't station. I dug through my shoebox of old QSL cards and yup, nothing from Belgium.

I do remember SEEING a picture of a shortwave QSL card from a station  "ORU" Brussels back in the 70s. Don't know if it was a gov't station or not.

I did a fast search and it seems that this ORU is still on-the-air (or at least still has a transmitter):

Perhaps, Belgium never felt the need to use radio as a means of propaganda.  h**l, what is there to fear when one lives next to such military "powers" like the "always-stoned" Dutch and those powerful Luxembourgians.

Answer 2

The Belgian dutch-language international broadcasting service is called Radio Vlaanderen Internationaal (www.rvi.be), the french-language equivalent is RTBF International (www.rtbfi.be).

Good luck !

Answer 3

what you mean???

Answer 4

At the start in 1930 it was called the NIR / INR ( Nationale Instituut voor Radiouitzendingen / Institued Nationale pour Radiodiffusion )  this was divided in 2 parts a dutch speaking and a french speaking department.

This governmental broadcasting service will become the present day radio and television service called VRT ( Flemish ) and the RTBF ( french )
