Save the BBC World Service in North America and the Pacific! - Point/Counterpoint
http://www.savebbc.org/point-counterpoint.html
Point-Counterpoint with the BBC World Service. The BBC has made a number of questionable claims in relation to their decision to cease shortwave broadcasts to North America, Australia and New Zealand:. Local placement is a suitable replacement for shortwave. 88% of listenership comes from local placement, with only 12% of listenership coming from shortwave. Only the 300,000 listeners who listen solely via shortwave will be adversely impacted by this move. Local stations air BBC sporadically at best.

Save the BBC World Service in North America and the Pacific! - Larry Magne commentary, NPR's Morning Edition
http://www.savebbc.com/magnenpr.html
Larry Magne commentary, NPR's Morning Edition 2 July 2001. In an open society like ours, the growing preference for shortwave is all about convenience and accessibility. Shortwave is even more important in closed societies. It is the only broadcasting medium that is virtually impossible to jam completely, defying censorship. Nearly every democratic leader in the former Soviet bloc credits shortwave as being central to the demise of communism, more so than the military or the economy. Passport to Web Radio.
