With the rise of the Internet, some news broadcasters, including the Voice of America, are moving away from shortwave radio.
But some religious broadcasters in America still believe in the medium.
“Our view is that there is a great future for shortwave,” says Charles Caudil, president of World Christian Broadcasting, which runs KNLS. He says its long-range signal is ideal for reaching rural areas in the developing world.
“Very few people there have the Internet available to them, or satellites. But they do have shortwave receivers. There are about three billion shortwave receivers in the world,” he said.
I think VOA could learn from their own report. While VOA believes that China (cited in this report) is well-equipped for the internet world, have they thought about internet surveillance (see previous post) in their on-line distribution model?
Looks like some broadcasters still do. Again, shortwave radio = anonymity.

Today is Thanksgiving in Canada–and perhaps we should all thank this fine country for its contribution to radio as we know it today.
