Note that this article defines a radio as having "knobs and dials"; enough said.

Starts off with Int'l Radio Day and half way through switches to streaming?   ???

What's next, International TV Day and highlight YouTube and LiveLeak?

Additionally, when one is listening to a stream, they are watching you. All sorts of theys.

Radio is for a free people!

Now its time to continue my listening on RADIO-
Started off this morning with R Australia & Voice of Korea. During the day, local FM'ers (can't get anything else in my office tower), on the way home, listened to Voice of Greece, and now into the evening continuing with VoG as well tuning around MW.

And even fixed a radio (not a big deal, replaced the C-sized battery holders.) But at least now it can run on batteries (8xC) again.
