Radio Ukraine International

I first found out about Radio Ukraine International by scanning some station listings in an obscure radio magazine. The next evening I turned on my small Grundig shortwave radio and tried to tune into the station during the English language broadcast time. No luck. I could not even dial the frequency on my radio, so I did a search online and found the Radio Ukraine International website. No need for the shortwave radio with the power of the Internet because the station constantly streams its audio signal over the Internet. Streaming audio allows anyone in the world with a computer that can access the Internet (and who has a piece of free software, in this case, basic RealPlayer) to listen to the broadcast as it is happening. This even surpasses the power of shortwave radio broadcasts because usually shortwave signals are only broadcasted to a certian area of the world at certain times. Audio that is streamed over the Internet is available to EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE all day and all night long. Awesome! So, whether you are fluent in Ukrainian and want the lastest news directly from Ukraine, are practicing your language comprehension skills, or want to hear objective news in English - start listening! It's free!
