WRMI on CBS News Weekend.
« on: May 23, 2022, 1717 UTC »
Huh... The last time that I'd hear about shortwave news on mainstream TV media news would be when a president would do his weekly radio address on VOA. So, this is rare to see.  https://swling.com/blog/2022/05/cbs-features-wrmis-ukraine-war-news-over-shortwave/#respond

Over the years I have to admit coming up with some no-so good ideas for products. The Skipping Cassette Decks, (In case you missed record skipping.), never took. Water Resistant Lollipops never caught on either, even though you could enjoy those in the rain and in the shower. Then, there's the Anatomically Correct Mrs. Butterworth Syrup Dispenser. (Just guess where the syrup came out of.) Nope, no takers.

The first picture they show behind the news announcer is of small segment of the front console of a Kenwood R-2000. A production assistant probably googled "shortwave radio" and picked an arbitrary picture!

Got to do something when the higher up's are expecting something you know nothing about.

Did they mention anything about the penguins roosting on the antennas?
