TV Garden

A few years ago, I posted about Radio Garden, a wonderful website that lets you listen to almost any radio station in the world in real time.

Now there's TV Garden, a website that lets you watch television from around the world. It works something like Radio Garden; you select a country from the globe and you get a list of TV stations for that country. It's not as polished as Radio Garden in the sense that you can't select individual stations from the map. I'm guessing that's because so many TV stations and networks these days aren't tied to specific locations. The list isn't complete either; for example, for Canada it only shows the CBC News Network but doesn't show local CBC stations, though it does for City-TV.

You can search for a specific network or station and if you click on the 3-bar button on the left it opens a menu that lets you select stations by category; for example, Science or News. No sports though, which makes sense because they'd probably get taken down in about 30 seconds if they offered that.

There's no Android app yet (there is for Radio Garden). But it will be handy, especially if you want to watch news from another country. (That's limited in usefulness by language, of course. Perhaps our AI tools will evolve enough that something like Gemini will do the live translation for use). 

I like it and will be using it in the future.
