Re: BBC WS stops shortwave broadcasts to US

[Richard Chonak <rac@gabriel.cambridge.ma.us>]

This week's edition of NPR's "On the Media" covered the impending BBC
shortwave shutdown.  An audio link is available on the show's web page
http://www.wnyc.org/new/talk/onthemedia/otmindex.html
(Start listening at 20 minutes into the 52-minute program.)

In case it hasn't been mentioned, BBC World Service (the "Features and
Music" channel, even) is carried on the second audio program (SAP) of
cable channel C-SPAN 2.

Also, World Radio Network's WRN1 channel is carried on C-SPAN's SAP. A
schedule is available at http://www.wrn.org/ondemand/ .
