I would rate the international broadcasters as follows, based on
reception quality and quality of sound. Everyone else chime in:
1. Radio Netherlands
2. CRI
3. Radio Australia
4. RNZI
5. BBC
not ranked:
Deutsche Welle: A non-entity on radio these days, has pulled back too
much transmissions.
Voice of Russia: Broadcasts, but reception is absolutely terrible,
and their audio equalization has too much bass such that even when
reception is good, it is difficult to clearly understand.
I get them all just fine on the Sirius. I like to listen to the Coast
Guard on the HF.

I only see the BBC listen on the Sirius website.

CRI? Not much programing there I want. I rank Radio Australia and the
BBC equally, with the Netherlands a very close second. I have to
admit I haven't listen to RNZI much.

If you look at 140 (next door to the BBC World Service News-141) you'll
see the World Radio Network.
