[PRCo] Re: DW

[Fred Schneider]

Deutsche Welle is also a news service that broadcasts in the United  
States to English and German speaking listeners and to readers over  
the internet.   They broadcast in other parts of the world in 28  
other languages.  There are four links below.  The first is the link  
to their regular written news on the internet off my bookmarks.

WITF-FM, the public radio station in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,  
alternates Deutsche Welle's broadcasts in German and English at 2 AM,  
3 AM, 4 AM and 5 AM and they also broadcast over the internet.   That  
is the second link below.    I've found that, with the American  
public loosing interest in world events, I have to try a little  
harder to find out what is going on beyond our borders and what the  
rests of the world is saying about us.   There may be some place in  
your local area that also carries it.   Unfortunately, the hours are  
simply typical ... they run it in the middle of the night because no  
one give a damn about anything outside their own little pond.

The final two like from Wikipedia, the on-line, you can edit it  
yourself encyclopedia, explain DW and new DW for those who care to  
read it.   Basically DW started out as a new service similar to Radio  
Free Europe.   New DW is a musical service.   But you can read the  
details or ignore.

The third link is BBC internet news service.   It will give you two  
choices once you open it; an international page or the United Kingdom  
page.
