Radio listening generally is disappearing in our time as more and more global
broadcasters distribute more and better signals via
podcast, streaming and other internet sources, as well as providing feeds to
television and radio without static by using FM broadcasting
Most of the attention that went to radio services is now directed toward Web
sites and international television stations
Fewer and fewer listen via shortwave. The notable exceptions are in those
countries with highly censored media , or those in conflict states.
Then the world news is important and Short Wave remains a standby.
