Has anybody else been listening-I haven't seen any mention of it here?
Radio Netherlands has apparently ended its 4-6 minute news bulletins at
the start of its English newscasts for a full half hour of Newsline on
weekdays and Europe Unzipped/Wide Angle on Sa/Su respectively. I would
guess that it's a cost cutting measure, as the bulletins were live and
Newsline etc. is prerecorded. Since the BBC and DW have ended their NAm
broadcasts-and the Beeb's credibility has gone down the tubes-that
leaves who for international news to NAm? Spain? They're fine on the
weekdays-although reception in California is not always reliable-but
when major news breaks on weekends like the fighting today in Baghdad I
miss the RN news bulletins. I've tried Radio Australia but they're
mostly concerned with Pacific Rim news. Anybody got a good source for
international news on the weekends?
