BBC World Radio in Kuwait
I just read on Kuwaitism’s blog that the English version of BBC World is now available in Kuwait on 100.1 FM. I used to listen to the station the whole time while I was in Lebanon on the frequency AM 1323. It was the coolest station filled with news, documentaries and interviews. Here in Kuwait I listen to VOA news on FM 96.9 but early in the year they changed their programming to focus more on educating people on the English language and its just really crap now. Can’t wait till I get into my car and try tuning to BBC World.

however, you can listen to Radio 5 Live on http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio5 and click the “Listen Live” link. Same with all BBC radio channels.

You could listen to the BBC on the SW channels. There’s also a widget that streams all their broadcasts.

it’s nice to hear intelligent English on the radio finally. Poor poor “superstation” Linda… now she just sounds even dumber.

was listening to BBC yesterday night and today morning. Feels good to have a decent radio channel. VOA is like music all the time now and when there isnt music its learning english shows.

I thought they’d been around for a while…they’re on like all the time in my car and I didn’t know this was recent.
