Title: BBC World Service - Radio
Post by: thebillet on July 08, 2007, 13:59:59 PM: HI

I have done a search but found nothing about radio recption, does anyone manage to get the World Service via radio? If so what are the best frequencies? I imagine residents will have no need for this if you are on the net but as we only visit a radio link would be good.

Thanks

You *may* pick up signals meant for neighbouring countries, worth having a look at the World Service Home Page (http://"http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/worldservice/psims/ScheduleSDT.cgi?Pg=Ce&Ce=22338%3a39NW%3aAntalya&Co=TR%3aTurkey%3a0%2d45&Tz=TR01")

Fethiye Times covered this recently here http://www.fethiyetimes.org.uk/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=viewid=908itemid=71. As you will see you can also pick up Auntie on Medium Wave in the evenings direct from Cyprus.

Are you paying a subscription for this? How much is it? All my channels except for BBC World are coded. I used to enjoy listening to news about traffic jams in Norwich on Virgin while I was on my roof terrace.

Thanks
