Re: [Swprograms] RNW to end shortwave usage to North America as ofthe B-08 schedule change

["Sandy Finlayson" <sfinlayson@xxxxxxx>]

It's hard to argue that there is much life left in main stream English
language short wave service at least in this part of the world.  I do
miss the romance of radio, but have reluctantly joined the ranks of the
podcast/webcast generation.

Now I know shortwave is dead.  The one international broadcaster who
argued most vehemently for keeping shortwave an option for all.  A very
sad announcement indeed, because I am generally not a podcast or online
listener, believing still in the medium of over-the-air radio (and not
necessarily just in the broadcastable nature of spoken word programming,
which I do believe in as well).  It puts on its head the nature of who
is "privileged" in the world - I almost now want to consider the
"privileged" to be the Indonesian, Pacific Islander, Andean highlander,
or African resident who can still rely on "radio" as radio.
