Al, I wish you luck with your quest! A few years ago when the BBC decided to discontinue shortwave broadcasts to North America there was a huge outrcry; I wrote to the head of the BBC, the British Foreign Minister, the British Ambassador, etc., etc., and they basically told me, "Tough noogies!"

Now, times have changed and Auntie Beeb has been through a couple of management turnovers, so let's hope they're more receptive. It would be great to get the BBC over satellite!

For now, though, I'm listening to 'em on my Sangean WiFi radio.
