Really fascinated by the guy obsessed with doubling down on false equivalence between MSNBC and Fox News, even in unrelated threads.

Indeed, thanks for the identification. What an obscure cut for them to use! It's not as if it has ever been broadcast in the US before.

Indeed! ClearChannel stations (probably a near-monopoly across the entire country, honestly) heavily promote their proprietary "iHeartRadio" listening apps, but I don't know how good it is. Honestly NPR/local public radio are the only radio stations with accessible websites and podcasts. I...

Obviously this forum isn't dedicated to American radio, but this is amusing enough to share.

I've rooted my Kindle Fire and put an Ice Cream Sandwich ROM onto it, and I have to say, it's fantastic. ICS is a fantastic Android revision, and I'm certain that it'll gain some market share. I feel like Microsoft would have been better off merging the WP7/Metro 8 lines.

What do you listen on? It's since the 2007 change always been played in its shortened form been played every couple of hours on shortwave and the Africa option online. However I don't think I've ever heard it on the DAB UK version except for last Wednesday when they played it for the 80th birthday ...

I'm an avid listener of the BBC World Service, and I've noticed that in the past two weeks or so they've been playing Lillibullero again. It's not played every hour, but probably ~65% of the time, in lieu of the rather tired David Lowe theme from 2007. I find it fascinating that the World Service is...
