To my mind there isn't much worth listening to on the BBC World Service - I prefer tuning in to the BBC on the internet.
However, if you have a Short Wave radio with you and you want to listen to the BBC, here are the frequencies:

Nice one John
Jeez I remember the days when it was all there was. Huddled around the shortwave at 10 o'clock on a Sunday morning for the Footie scores, the tinny voice of the "Wild service" a bit of local sounds the worlsd weather report!
India's come a long way in 15 years!!
By the way, you can pick up perfectly good shortwave Radios in India almost anywhere for between 200-300 rupees!
They work just great!!

An English travelling companion took my radio away from me one Saturday night (1989) so she could listen to the football scores! Well, I certainly wasn't interested in them!
In the 70s, when Mrs. Gandhi had the press restricted (or so it appeared, since we got very little international news) BBC World Service was, indeed, the only way we had of knowing what was going on in the West. Now, with so many cable channels available, I probably won't bother to take a radio next trip; I hardly used mine when I was last in India, except for the classical music broadcasts on All_India Radio.
