Re: [Swprograms] FOOC on Write On: Sports pools

[John Figliozzi <jfiglio1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As I posted earlier, if you live in NA and want to hear EPL Soccer or  
Wimbledon on the BBC, you have to subscribe to satellite radio.  XM  
carries the Americas stream 24/7.  Sirius carries the news and  
current affaris stream 24/7; BUT! also carries BBC Five Live EPL  
coverage on Saturday and Sunday mornings (up to 3 matches a day).   
This past summer, Sirius carried the BBC's play by play of all rounds  
from Wimbledon.  They had four channels carrying the matches on all  
courts. Finally, Sirius has added BBC Radio 1 24/7.

PS:  If you insist on sw, I'm afraid you'll have to upgrade your  
outside aerial and hope for the best propagation-wise.
