The broadcaster has had some audio content available on its website for
some time, however consisting of just specific news items in English, Lao,
Hmong and French. This remains the case for the latter two languages, but
now the entire English and Lao programmes for the current and previous few
days are available on demand. These appear to be M-F only.
It's not clear if the station still broadcasts on shortwave. Only their
97.25 MHz FM frequency is announced in the English programme, but the 7145
kHz shortwave frequency is still mentioned in their 'About Us' page.
