Are you people doing that? I was listening the radio one day and I realized that YLE even has Selkis-programs, telling international news in bit more simple way for foreigners studing Finnish. I think it's great since the speed is still normal, and there for realistic.
I'm planning to buy world receiver radio, to better my Spanish and to learn Portuguese. So people studing finnish, but living else where could do the same thing. I know there are some of the biggest channels of every country available in internet but..
What do you think?
Listening radio to learn Finnish?

I owned a shortwave radio in finland during the early 90's when the BBC World Service was in full force... ah the good old days. They had game shows, interesting features, the news, and of course the majestic music at the top of every hour.
Unless you are living in a tent and don't have an internet connection, shortwave radio is a bit of a waste of time nowadays. Instead of hunting down the crackly channels and waving the antenna this way and that (part of the fun of shortwave, actually) you can just log on to any number of internet radio stations with crystal clear reception.
And the BBC World Service isn't anymore... It's just news now.

) and sometimes i watch tv fragments with speaking on internet, if that counts? 
Whenever I'm in my car I'm listening to the radio. I'm just to lazy to change any cds! 
Normally I listen to Radio Nova, meaning I listen mostly to music, and to news they broadcast every half an hour.
It helps learning because it's just another source of contact with the finnish language. The same as reading the subtitles in finnish when watching tv. But I definetly DON'T listen to radio to learn finnish, but to have fun!
