This is one of the most exciting developments I’ve seen in international broadcasting in ages: an around-the-clock, fixed-frequency, commercial shortwave radio broadcaster, transmitting via WRMI.
The new Global24 will begin broadcasting on Friday, October 31, 2014 at 19:00 EDT (0000 UTC November 1st) on 9395 kHz.
Below, you’ll find Global24’s first press release:

(Hollywood, FL) Oct. 21, 2014 – Global 24 Radio LLC announced today that its inaugural broadcast will go live at 7:00 p.m., Friday, Oct. 31 (0000 UTC November 1), with a line-up of new and well-known programs and around-the-clock English language programming. The broadcast can be heard 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 9395 kHz on WRMI broadcasting from Okeechobee, Florida.
“We’re very excited about launching Global 24 and the important contributions it will make to shortwave radio listening – as both a medium worth preserving and a vital part of the modern media mix for so many listeners around the world,” said Phil Workman, general manager of Global 24. “Our broadcast will appeal to dedicated shortwave listeners (SWL) all over the world looking for breaking news, opinion and music.”
Global 24 aims to revitalize the shortwave medium by bringing general interest news and entertainment into sharper focus for listeners looking for high quality programming on a daily basis. Regular listeners will be informed, entertained and engaged in an ever more complex world.
According to Jeff White, general manager of WRMI, “Global 24 represents another step in the long overdue commercialization of shortwave radio. We are excited to be working with them on their ambitious program to engage and entertain a global audience.”

That’s my bathroom radio. A few dents, scratches by now, though.
Oooooohhhhhh! Radio porn!!
Imagine a couple in a restaurant sitting at a table tapping Morse with CW Keys at each other!
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
Hold on now....POW’s and prisoners use Morse.
Couple of us ‘ditheads’ get together and maybe one tap on the table and see if other will answer.
NOW, if you want to get DX, carrying the transceiver and antenna on your back may prove to be cumbersome.
That is why they gave us a ship to install all the equipment on -
there you go flaunting your wealth again......

And it’s easily the nicest fixture in the bathroom.
I like it!
Always have a radio in the bathroom.
Powers out, Tornado is bearing down...
What else you gonna do?
I understand but I see people texting each other at dinner, or in the same room.
Hm. Might have to tune my Grundig away from the local classic-rock station.
Bets on how long it takes before all their airtime is bought out by Alex Jones and his ilk?

I understand,....was just being a wisenheimer or - to stretch along the ‘meaning’ of wisenheimer, just acting the ‘Sexual Intellectual” as we were wont to accuse each other ....
I was so ‘perfect’ I managed to send it twice /sarc...
Of course in using Morse that would have been a ‘pain’....

Nice to see a new broadcaster.
We’ll see how they do.
I should be able to pick it up on my 160 meter loop.
I hope it’s good.
Halloween is a great debut.
