The United Nations "Blue Sky" public radio went on the air in last Friday, with a 24-hour mix of news, music and features. News bulletins, produced entirely by local journalists, will be broadcast daily in Albanian at 7:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m., and in Serbian at 8:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. UNMIK news and features, in both Albanian and Serbian, will follow the news at a quarter to the hour.

"Blue Sky" radio - on 96 FM - is operating with mostly local staff, under the editorial supervision of the UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). The Swiss Government has donated studio facilities and technical support staff. The station plans to expand news coverage to include debates, press reviews and phone-in programmes. Programmes will also cover women's issues, youth, culture and humanitarian topics. Programmes in various minority languages will be added, as will English lessons.
