But you could have XM in your car and hear the World Service unedited, 
unsanitized. I agree that the WS news tends to be dry but they do have 
excellent documentary and special features. The World Service can be 
erratic and frustrating but often brilliant, and I actually still 
listen to the shortwave signal directed at the Caribbean, which is 
quite listenable here in New England.
