Well I don't know about you, but I gave up on them the last time they
cut SW services. I don't, nor will I listen to any of their SW Web
Satelliete or otherwise *broadcasts. If they cant provide SW service
to millions of their loyal fellow English-speaking people in North
America (and Carribean) then I'm no longer interested. They are being
arrogant and inconsiderate, full of stupid excuses and all round a
total mess.

- I think you are being arrogant by expecting the taxpayers

Sun Chaser,

Actually the BBC has done that very thing.

Two Questions presented to AM/FM Radio Listeners

Q # 1 - Would You Buy a Shortwave Radio to be able to
Receive* the BBC World Service; and Listen to the BBC
World Service on the Shortwave Radio ?
Answers : YES ~ 7% : NO ~ 63% : DTS/IDK ~ 30%

* This assumes a Local In-Country Shortwave Radio
Broadcast to assure the same Signal Level and Audio
Quality as a Local AM/FM Radio Station

Correction/Re-write Removed the word "Buy"

- Q # 2 - Would You Listen to the BBC World Service
- on your present AM/FM Radio -if- You could Receive
- the BBC World Service Locally on that AM/FM Radio ?
- Answers : YES ~ 49% : NO ~ 21% : DTS/IDK ~ 30%

DTS = Decline To State / IDK = I Don't Know

The transition from Shortwave Radio to AM/FM Radio
allows the BBC World Service to have the 'potential' to
Grow the Number of *BBC World Service Radio Listeners
by Seven Times (7X) over the Next Decade.

What applies here to the BBC World Service -wrt-
In-Country AM & FM Radio Re-Broadcasting of their
Programming; also applies to the VOA, RNW, CRI,
VOR, etc, Etc. ETC !

the truth is out there - riding on a radio wave ~ RHF
