I see....Well I wonder whats gonna happen with them---DW is a pretty conservative (for Germany) news channel, and its very, very interesting--only downside is that its carried here in the Bay Area by a local channel, and they turn to Russian Socialist T.V. in English when DW goes off English and reverts to Deutsch. On that topic, Shortwave radio is one of the coolest things around---Its fun listening to radio from all over the world, from huge propoganda machines like Beijing International and Radio Cuba, to German and British News.
