Here we go again !! BBC copping out on a long history of SWservice.
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. Bye Bye BBC, you can chop the whole service as far as I am concerned.

The only problem is that Radio Netherlands has cut way back on the number of broadcast. Burr |

BROADCAST RADIO REALITY CHECK : [Internationa Shortwave Radio -versus- In-Country AM & FM Radio ] COST - The BBC has better more Cost-Effective means of Getting-Their-Message-Out in the Caribbean Region to the Peoples of the Caribbean by using local AM & FM Radio Stations in their Native Languages using the common every-day AM/FM Radio that is everywhere : Home + Office/Work + Car/Truck -versus- the specialized and more limited and more costly Shortwave Radio/Receiver. GROWTH - The use of the AM/FM Radio means that the BBC World Service can Expand their Number of Radio Listeners because the Number of AM/FM Radios and AM/FM Listeners (BCLs) is Many-Times-Greater-Than the number of Shortwave Radios and Shortwave Listeners (SWLs). SIGNAL & AUDIO - To the Local Radio Listener the RF Signal is stronger and Audio Quality of the BBC World Services Broadcast is Better and Clearer -when- Compared to the former International Shortwave Radio's RF Signal 'fading' and Audio Quality 'background noise'. THE NEXT GENERATION - The BBC World Service is interested in the Next Generation of Audio Content Consumers and they are on the Internet and many still do Listen to AM & FM Radio : The 'older' Shortwave Radio Listening (SWL) Generation is dying-off and so too is the need to broadcast to that generation. GETTING THE MESSAGE-OUT - The BBC World Service's Job is To-Get-The Message-Out from a Brittish (UK) Point-of-View to the Next Generation of World Citizens and Inform them with News and Information from the UK. This Next Generation is Tomorrow's Local, National and World Leaders and the BBC World Service what's to Influence them while they are Young and Open to What Is Out-There-in-the-Wordl beyond their City, State and Nation. TBL - This Change Is About : The Biggest Bang {World Wide Voice} For The {Limited Broadcasting} Buck. do i like it 'no' -but- you can not turn your back on reality -cause- it just might run you over when you do ~ RHF |

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