Sirius Satellite Radio carries many International (aka ''Worldband'')
Broadcasters. Don't look now, but Shortwave Broadcasting is dying
very quickly due to the fact that it's plain ass painful to listen to.

The content has moved from the ancient technology to something a
little more user friendly. Adapt or die.

The content is much more enjoyable in static-free high-fidelity sound.

I've seen that notice too but Walter Hess did not mention it to me in
his e-mail reply. Also, unfortunately, DAB would be of use only to
European, Canadian, or US users in the northern states, I believe.

Remember when any radio could work anywhere in the world? This
fragmenting of broadcast standards may be a first step (intentionally
or not) to restrict availability of information which could then be
"censored" locally by the powers-that-be (and I might mention that I
am NOT a "right-wing conspiracy advocate"). TV has basically always
been that way. What a shame.

I think I'll wait until a multi-format portable receiver is designed
(if ever). Like some others, I have no interest in "pay" radio (which
is not true world-band, anyway).
