I am hoping someone knows of a single website where one can find
Shortwave News from anywhere in the world, in ENGLISH, in a single listing
without having to jump around to many other url's.

Category: News and world Events
Language: English
Time: ALL
Mode: AM/ISB
Bands: All (Shortwave)
Stations: ALL (this would include foreign lands which have news spoken in English)

If you know of such a thing, or know of Principle Stations which offer News in English,
PLEASE let me know. Okay to email me: RadSurfer@yahoo.com

As for foreign stations, a friend of mine is trying to learn Catonese,
if you know of good strong stations broadcasting in Catonese (Mandarin, etc)
PLEASE let me know.

Thanks.

Google is your friend bro. I googled "bbc sw radio schedule" and up came dozens of hits for complete listings.

Go there and pick ya out one.

Happy listening

obviously did not read my post

Reading a post, and comprehension are clearly not the same thing.

So we wait patiently.

How about a website that offers....

How about a website that checks the time based on UTC (which does not change),
and shows you all of the listings with in that hour,
where you can select active frequencies for your part of the world...
I do not think that any thing like that actually exists right now!

you'd have to give it your location in some globally accepted format,
Latitude/Longitude perhaps, and the database would target broadcasts for that
part of the world, presented in a format you could print out for daily or
weekly use :)

Then, offer a means to search a data base for any particular band, time frame,
etc., of your choosing. Like a FCC Shortwave Database, but thoroughly
up-to-date, and user-searchable based on a number of criteria.

Prime Time Shortwave - Your guide for English shortwave broadcasts
offers information, but it is simply not in context,
ie. it is not focused on the current time of day,
nor is it focused on where in the world a given broadcaster is intending
their services to reach,
and the information is randomized in many other ways.

Perhaps something will surface that meets this kind of ease of use
and no longer requires having to shuffle through dozens of OTHER
resources just to get what should already be easily attainable.

This is what I was looking for:

One listing.
Many different Shortwave stations from around the world.

I wonder if there are any more

Google("English shortwave news");

Word of mouth of kept-up-to-date listings would be nice;
sometimes what you find in Google is quite dated.

A second vote for Prime Time Shortwave. I can almost always find something interesting to tune into using that website. (y)
 
Well Radsurfer, you're welcome.

Give a boy a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a boy to fish, he can go to google and find himself fishing gear, fishing holes, fishing poles, fishing licenses, fishing schedules, fish bait, fish sticks, fish recipes, fish hooks, fish books.....

God forbid I should suggest an actual book instead of something free online but if you want THE best SWL reference book there is I highly suggest this one.

WRTH Online

It's not cheap, but then again nothing really worthwhile ever is. It has tables of general broadcasts in English as well as just English news casts. It covers everything from longwave up to FM and details individual station broadcast schedules and frequencies. I used to get a copy every year when I was heavily into SWL'ing.
