Some of you might know of Global Tuners - one of several websites that host remote receivers from around the world. They have made some extensive changes which they announced in a newsletter that subscribers got some time back, but I thought I might share with the membership - partially because it seems someone is copying the structure RadioReference and Broadcastify uses to some degree...if this needs to be moved, then someone speak up and I'll move it
---------------------------------------------
NEW WEBSITE AND RECEIVER INTERFACE
We have just released our brand-new website. Our website is now faster, and makes better use of modern, larger screens.
We have also deployed new technologies in developing our new receiver interface. The receiver interface will now work with most mobile devices (Android, iOS). The interface has a simpler, cleaner look and feel, more user friendly, with optimum functionality. The old
interfaces are still available, but we want to phase these out eventually. Many other new features and refinements are in the works for our new interface.
NEW PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP AVAILABLE
GlobalTuners now offers the option of choosing our premium membership. With your premium membership you will get access to a website with no advertisements (faster still!). We will soon add additional features, which will only be available to premium members. We will be having some new and returning receiver sites that will only be available to premium members. With a premium member status, you will be helping
support our site-operators who share their own equipment and resources, as well as supporting further development of the GlobalTuners Network. We will be investing in new equipment for some special locations and sites. Right now we are offering the premium
membership at a special introduction price. However, we wish to stress that the majority of our receiver sites will remain FREE. So, if you choose, this is a nice way to help us build a better network, and get some good perks at the same time. Please take a look at
GlobalTuners - On-line remotely controlled tuners for more information and ordering. Your support is greatly appreciated.
INTEGRATED FREQUENCY DATABASES
We have more closely integrated the Global Frequency Database
(http://qrg.globaltuners.com), providing station identification in the receiver interface (the database will be improved over time).
RECEIVERS
We are actively expanding our receiver selection. We are bringing new sites and returning some old sites to the network.
We are experimenting with SDR receivers to further expand our network We already have some SDR receivers online. With the new SDR receiver technology, it will be possible for many more receivers to come online at lower costs in the future.
Recent and upcoming new receiver sites and returning sites include Goiana (Brazil), Oldenwald (Germany), Breda SDR (The Netherlands), Las Vegas, Japan, Chesterfield (United Kingsom) as well as Philadelphia.
So, as you can see, GlobalTuners has many exciting changes still coming. We hope you enjoy your listening time here. GlobalTuners is a shared receiver site, and our support team endeavors to keep our network a pleasant place to spend your time. It works best when all our listeners have mutual respect. We here at GlobalTuners, our site-operators, listeners, we all are hobbyists with the love of radio.

This network, along with the SDR Radio and Perseus ones, are fairly popular and are often used by DXers to check out signals they can't normally hear due to propagation or other issues.
