	USAREUR Units - AFN Europe
		AFN Headquarters remained in London at this time, 1945, but when General Eisenhower announced he was moving his headquarters from London to Frankfurt, it didn't take any particular genius on Colonel Hayes' part to know he didn't have much choice but to follow suit.
		AFN microphones were in Bonn for the live coverage of the formation of the West German Government although not much in evidence.
		American television in Europe had actually begun on an extremely limited scale in 1957 when the Air Force installed small fl and white transmitters in Spangdahlem, Wiesbaden, Rhein-Main, and Vogelweh which were fed from a studio at Ramstein Air Force Base.

	TAP: Web Feature: Tough Spots. by Brian Montopoli. March 7, 2003. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Among the spots currently appearing on AFN are segments, such as the one above, providing vivid illustrations of what personnel should do in case they are captured; reminders on the importance of paying your bills; darkly lit, somber warnings about child and spousal abuse; and news reports that could easily be called propaganda.
		AFN's reach is impressive: If the military invades Iraq and sets up camp outside Baghdad, a soldier with a relatively small satellite dish and a decoder can have AFN up and running in a matter of hours.
		One person at AFRTS told me it was unnecessary for the network to explain that topic to viewers "because it was such common knowledge." The brass also recently shelved a "save the whales" spot that was deemed insufficiently relevant to the troops.

	"This is the American Forces Network" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		As US forces joined the fight against Hitler, a network of broadcasting stations was established to provide them with the kind of radio programmes they were used to hearing back home.
		These American Forces Network (AFN) stations came into existence despite strong opposition from the BBC, with which AFN came to have a love-hate relationship.
		After a lot of argument, it was decided to allow a network to be set up, but the transmitters had to be low powered so as not to be widely audible across the country.
