LOL! Well, I'll leave your "Rush" comment alone for right now. 
Actually, carrying local programming is a wonderful way to reach foriegn 
audiences. I mean, which do you think would give you a better idea of what 
life in a particular country was like? Listening to a program from Africa 
that was intended for Americans, or listening to a program from Africa that 
was intended for the local people? One of my favotire stations on shortwave 
is CFRX 6070 in Toronto. They carry the programming or CFRB 1010. It's just 
like listening to a local station in Toronto, becuase you ARE listening to a 
local station in Toronto. What better way to learn about life in Toronto then 
to listen to their traffic reports, etc.?
