1) You can NOT get it on the internet. 2) The deal is put together by World Soccer Weekly, and the distribution is by the Sports Byline Radio Network so there may be some overlap with the stations that carry WSW, but this series just started and the affiliates are starting to signup. 3) The SIRIUS satellite radio system (which is marketed for use in your car, but of course can be set up at home) is at this point the most available choice. http://www.siriusradio.com I expect to get more information on this, including the affiliate list as it grows, and post the information on www.socceraudio.com
