The NYT reported that this 75 year old service has been discontinued. See:
In the WW II story, A Bell for Adano (written during the war), one of the residents of the Italian town had a radio and they listened to music from different countries.
Remember the Bell System was a pionner in broadcast radio. It's original overseas calls used long wave, then short wave. Until the undersea cable, it continued to use both methods, choosing one or the other depending upon prevailing atmospheric conditions. It appears technicians had to constantly monitor the signal and make adjustments as needed.
Years ago shortwave radios were sold; indeed, some places still advertise shortwave sets to get special broadcasts. I'm not sure what shortwave stations are out there these days.
I don't know if the "Radio Free Europe" or "Voice of America" stations still exist.
