Sometimes I wish that the US would institute something similar. There's a real dearth of quality radio programming here, with NPR being the last bastion. But I suppose I have to respect that the trend seems to be away from radio these days. I wouldn't want to force the public to fund something that they don't find valuable. mecouc Wrote: > > I suggest you look at the BBC web site for an overview > http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/ > Stations are linked on the left.

But then saw that their site was feeding me the "International version" of the page.

Great! This is really useful information. It would appear that Radio 4 is right up my alley--matching my current NPR listening tastes. But I'm always up for branching out and discovering new things. I've had my bedroom squeezebox on loan to a friend for a couple of days (ever since posting this original message) but just got it back today and am looking forward to giving the BBC a listen tonight. -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23921 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
