The United States Radio Directory: A Traveler's Favorite Companion 2008-2009 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I travel all over the USA and this radio guide is a terrific resource. I used to endlessly search for something interesting to listen to and usually just settled for a station that was "close enough." With this directory, I know exactly what is available in the area I'm traveling through. I bought one for the car and another for my carry-on bag.

World Radio TV Handbook 2008: The Directory of Global Broadcasting Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I started listening to shortwave radio as a kid, currently own five shortwave radios of varying quality, and even produce a weekly baseball program for Radio Miami International. In short, I'm into the medium. In some ways, it's the "last frontier" of radio.
There are basically two annual publications that are geared towards shortwave fans, and this is one of them. However, the book commonly referred to as WRTH covers much more than just shortwave. It is essentially a guide for broadcasting of all types throughout the world. You can find lists for everything from AM radio stations in America to FM stations in Morocco to shortwave stations in Ecuador to TV stations in North Korea (their children's programming must be fun). They're all there. It is as comprehensive a source for international AND domestic broadcasting as you'll find. You also get good reviews of shortwave sets on the market plus articles on various broadcasters.
The only reason I gave the book four stars instead of five is the "miles wide, inches deep" coverage of all the electronic media in WRTH. There's nothing wrong with that, but shortwave listeners like myself are better served by the "Passport to World Band Radio" book, which includes programming schedules. It's just more shortwave specific and costs $US7 less than WRTH. If you're more interested in TV, AM or FM radio, however, this IS the superior book.
In either case, you can't go wrong with WRTH...it just depends where your interest lies.

NPR Station Directory Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the NPR Station Directory for my brother as a birthday gift from his cat! I was pleasantly surprised to find such a comprehensive directory at such a great price! The size is perfect for a person that travels...would fit into any small space with ease, in fact, it fit into a birthday card! We had a lot of fun looking to see which cities were included, and, WOW, it's amazing the number of places that have multiple NPR stations. If you, or anyone you know is both a traveler, and a fan of NPR, this is makes the perfect little gift. Needless to say, my brother certainly "thanked" his cat for it! A big "Thank You" to William Hutchings for an incredible job!

WRTH 2003 World Radio TV Handbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Since 1974 this is the first time I'm not buying the WRTH. Quality has gone worsening in the last ten years, and -- as stated by other readers -- the strange splitting-editing is not handy. More: there is something I don't understand, and people at WRTH never answered to my two letters: the suppression of music identification scores. OK, not everybody can read music, but often the music id is the only way to identify a rare station in some exotic languages. Add the fact that often the station/program presented in the WRTH schedules is totally absent on the frequency. If editors at WRTH are not interested in doing a good job, I'm not interested in wasting my money.
