No it's not. What happens when your cable,DSL or power goes down?

The BBC has stopped broadcasting via shortwave to North America but we
still pick it up through their other targets. This still ****es me off
personally.

There is a TON of things on shortwave radio. Get one and see for yourself!

Have fun!

Regarding your statement that BBC does not broadcast on shortwave to NA,
I have been listening to them almost every night clear as a bell on
5975, so the next time, i will see if they say world service or specify
another location. sure sounds like it is aimed here.


Yes, it may indeed sound that way, but they no longer 'specifically' target the
USA.

They target the 'Americas', but no longer the USA.

Indeed, it is still the 'BBC World Service'.
