Book Reviews of World Radio TV Handbook 2008: The Directory of Global Broadcasting (World Radio TV Handbook)

Book Review: Excellent overall book on broadcasting
Summary: 4 Stars

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.
