Merci

Sorry about this bad news: I have closed down the Net version of Radio Ecoshock.

You are not the only listener who was using it to brush up on English. I also had listeners from Cyprus for the same reason.

However, only 6 to 8 people listened at a time. Meanwhile, the effort I put into regular broadcast radio (over the air waves) has increased. With a dozen or more college and community stations rebroadcasting my weekly show, I feel I am reaching many more listeners that way. Basically, with the limited time I have available, I just couldn't keep up the effort of feeding new programing into the Net radio station.

A decision had to be made. Either go with broadcast radio (supplemented by podcast and Net downloads) - or go with Net radio.

I am not alone in finding that Net radio listenership is low, for any use other than playing music. Several others have folded or gone into a kind of hibernation mode.
Perhaps the world just isn't ready yet, or people prefer video, I don't know.

Thanks for listening, and I'm sorry to tell you this.
