I read about this on another forum. Cuts to Radio Free Asia are disturbing. If they're going to cut services to countries that we are trying to reach (China, Burma, Couth and Central Asia, etc.), what's the point of having it at all?
An AM radio Boombox DXer.
+ GE SRIII, PR-D5 & TRF on MW.
The usual Realistic culprits on SW (and a Panasonic).

Apparently they think China, Burma, et al, can stream from their website.  

Of course, that assumes the people have a computer, can afford Internet connectivity, they're not blocked from the site, or not in fear that the gov't is watching what they do on the Internet and one wrong thing they do, its off to the gulag.

And a whole lot more commentary:
