Listening to programs from distant lands is no longer a late-night activity dependent upon shortwave propagation conditions. There are thousands of radio stations worldwide that use the Internet to stream their broadcasts. Traditional radio is being augmented by computers, tablets, smartphones, satellites, WiFi receivers, and multiplexed digital transmission methods, greatly enhancing the listening experience.<\/p>\n<p>The Worldwide Listening Guide shows you how to access all of this audio content using these different delivery platforms. The Guide is focused on English language broadcasts that can be heard in North America. There is a comprehensive listing of more than 3500 programs. These are then placed in separate categories by program type, such as news, music, talk, current affairs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The WWLG 7th edition is also available from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/universal-radio.com\/catalog\/books\/2861.html\" target=\"_blank\">Universal Radio<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.w5yi.org\/catalog_details.php?pid=67&amp;sort=21\" target=\"_blank\">W5YI Group<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hamradio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ham Radio Outlet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Whereas the WRTH&#8211;also just released&#8211;is a guide to stations and broadcasts, the WWLG is a guide to content and programming.
