Re: [Swprograms] thank you and program catchup

[Richard Cuff <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

Try Sundays 0100, 9755 kHz, targeting NA.  Also in use are 11990 and
13710 kHz but these higher frequencies generally haven't been working
as well overall.

Global Village is webcast at numerous times on the 24/7 English and
24/7 Multilingual services, in addition to the local air times for CBC
R1 and R2 stations.

Kevin Kelly's Public Radio Fan website, showing the webcast airtimes
for Global Village, is here:
