I got the vibe that the first time I said it, you didn't understand what I meant by "terrestrial," because your reply didn't address it at all. Worldwide is not really an Internet radio show per se... Is it available on the Internet? Yes. Is it awesome that people around the world get to listen to it online? Also yes.

But if you live in the UK, that show is on regular, national radio--not even pirate radio.

Which ties in to what dafriquan is saying about "you can't look at the whole world through the lens of the US" and what is available through corporate-control media... Sure, over here everything is controlled by ClearChannel, but in other parts of the world, more adventurous music CAN be accessed via more conventional channels (which is not to say that Gilles' show represents "the mainstream" in Britain either... but it's there! On national radio!
