The Worldwide Listening Guide

This new, expanded 9th edition of John Figliozzi’s popular The Worldwide Listening Guide explains radio listening in all of today’s formats — “live,” on-demand, WiFi, podcast, satellite, internet, digital and, of course, analog AM, FM and Shortwave. Listening to programs from distant lands is no longer a late-night activity dependent upon shortwave propagation conditions. Traditional radio is being augmented by computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, satellites, WiFi receivers, and multiplexed digital transmission methods, greatly enhancing the listening experience. The Worldwide Listening Guide shows you how to access all of this audio content using these different delivery platforms. The WWLG Guide is organized to make it easy and convenient to find radio programs of interest to you. All program listings are provided two ways. First, programs are listed by UTC time, station, days of broadcast, the type of program, and their frequencies and web addresses. A station ID list identifies the station “call letters” and provides the station’s full name and country of origin. Second, special Classified Listings are provided to help listeners find programs of specific interest. The 37 classified program listings make it easy to find programs by topic or subject area, such as: Arts & Culture; History; News & Documentary; Science & Technology; Current Affairs; Music; Sports, and more. Use The Worldwide Listening Guide to join in the excitement of listening to radio from around the world broadcast in English.
