>>I do mean that BBCWS is dieing by inches on shortwave.  BBCWS insists that listeners in the Americas can listen online or via local radio if they want to hear their output.  Given this, there have been a whole series of cuts and I think the day is not too far away when there will be no shortwave broadcasts to this part of the world at all. The same could well be true for Europe.

listen THEN they can expect an audience of that age group.
