You don't really need shortwave radio or satellite, either, for BBC.
It's on most NPR radio stations daily, several times throughout the
day and/or night.

You get an hour of The World, not the full riches of Worldservice.

Actually, it depends on the NPR affiliate station as to what, if any,
BBC WS programs are carried.


Actually, it's PRI affiliates. You can go to go www.pri.org, take the
toolbar link for "Programs" then select "BBC World Service" in the
popup menu, and that takes you to a page where you can download a
pdf file schedule poster.

And then you can really get ****ed off, because the PRI feed only has one
half hour a day (that my local station doesn't carry) for a selection of
programs from the three blocks (half hour each) that the full schedule
has for science, culture, and documentary programs, each weekday.
