There's another way to listen to Israel Radio English news... via
cellphone!
-
While looking through the list of ways to receive the World
Radio Network in North America
http://www.wrn.org/listeners/station...p?StationID=50
I noticed that they now list a new way to listen... via Cellphone!
-
The Mobile Broadcast Network
http://www.mymbn.com has News, Financial,
Music, Religious, International, etc. radio stations. Not only is the
WRN North American network available, but many of the broadcasts on
the WRN are individually selectable.
-
That is, the WRN has Israel Radio on at 4:30 PM ET (it's the 2000 UT
Israel Radio International (Reshet Hey) broadcast) and you can listen
to it at that 4:30 PM ET. BUT, you can also listen to either a morning
or evening Israel broadcast on demand, by itself!
I confirmed with MBN, the only possible costs are your cellphone call
costs (possibly including long distance). Many people have cellphone
plans with included minutes and/or totally free nights/weekends, so it
may not cost anything..
-
You can dial the following number using your cell phone: Dial (615)
727-9201
-
You can then, either enter in a code directly (found on their website)
or make your way through voice menus, which only have 'frequently
listened to' radio stations. Both WRN and Israel Radio are in the
'frequently listened to' list. They say that you can save station
presets via their website. I'm waiting for a response, as I can't find
them.

Codes of interest: World Radio Network 1025
WRN's website

this.- On demand, I don't know how many minutes after the actual

Kol Israel websites:

A Jewish radio station live (not Saturday, Jewish Holidays):
Five Towns Radio 2459
Five Towns Radio website - which includes Windows Media audio
and schedule:
http://www.fivetownsradio.com

Alternatively, use your cellphone's WAP web browser (which may incur
costs, depending upon your plan) to:
http://www.mymbn.com/swing
-
If you have Nextel, go to: "Access Nextel Online and choose Web Sites,
then Entertainment Choose MBN Audio". You'll then have menus to
select the radio station of choice and your phone will prompt you and
then automatically dial in (on the voice side of your phone) to a
different 615 area code phone number and immediately connect you to
the broadcast

Email which I check is
REMOVE the numbers and upper case letters from the email
address.
I've been getting tons of Virus emails, so I don't plan on posting
from my regular account anymore.
