"Bryant said the lease on a transmitter that AFN has been using for decades expired last year. Military broadcasters were allowed to continue to use the transmitter — located inside the walls of a monastery atop Mount Camaldoli — for an additional nine months. That deal ends Thursday, and the transmitter needs to be disassembled and taken away by then, a process that will take a couple of days.AFN has negotiated a deal with RAI, the Italian state-run broadcasting system, to use one of its existing towers — also on the mountain but outside the monastery — but needs to receive a series of approvals before it starts to broadcast."
