Xm ans sirius don't have much variety for news. Internet radio may
someday replace shortwave, once somebody invents a decent tuner so you
don't have to go hunt down and bookmark every station. There are
definitely fewer stations available on shortwave than there were in
the mid '80's; maybe the missing ones are on the internet, but I don't
plan on spending much time hunting for them.
Sirius has tons of news from all the major International broadcasters
+ The CBC.

Yeah, but Sirius is a subscription service. This means that, in order
to take advantage of their services, you have to give them *money* on a
regular basis.

By the way, I downloaded a program guide off the Sirius website because
I wanted to see what their menu looked like. However, I assume that the
program guide on their website is only a partial listing, because it
sure didn't contain much of interest. Where can I get the full program
guide?
