Assignment 9 : Share experience of RadioTime


I listened to the radio called WCBS Newsradio 880. As soon as I turned it on, I heared the weather forecast: it said that the weather will be good in the following few days. And it also gave the forecast of temperature. Then, News report comes. The host mentioned that there were 6 school shut down because of the swine flu. Fortunately, the children were not diagnosed with H1N1 virus. Finally, there were some adverisement of helping you to start your own career and etc.
I think that listening to the on-line radio is quite challenging. Since there is no subtitle on my screen, all I can rely on is my ear to catch the meaning. Also, when listening to News, I found it more difficult to understand because they speak faster and more professional. And the content of the News are various, including politics, health, sports and so on. It's really difficult to understand all of them.

Here is the introduction of WCBS New York Radio:

WCBS Newsradio 880 has been the source for News, Traffic & Weather for New York, New Jersey and Connecticut since 1967. The station delivers news, sports and business, along with traffic & weather on the 8's and is the flagship station of the CBS Radio Network and the radio home of the New York Yankees. When the Yankees are on the air, WCBS continues to provide news on line at WCBS880.com LISTEN LIVE and provides regular longer form and special programming on a second live streaming station at WCBS New York Radio.
