Online Radio without Vuvuzela's
Does anyone know of a radio station that will be streaming their station live online in English (don’t care about the accent so long as I can understand what is being said) without Vuvuzela's.?
Its either that or watch a whole load of Football without any sound.
I just managed to catch the last few minutes of South Africa vs Mexico, and had to immediately turn the volume off (that was streamed via one of the Sky Sports channels, I then turned on Radio 5 Live, and promptly turned that off as well.
Talkstport was much better, although it was Cricket, so another miss there.
If you know of any such stations please post them here noting the language being used, as I am sure its not just English speakers who don’t want to hear that horrible monotone drone for 90-minutes.

I never watch or listen to sport, so I don't know if this will help, but maybe there's something useful on this site:

Some possible good news:

So, might be possible if watching via HTPC w/software EQ.Cutting 235 + 470 + 940 Hz is a convincing improvement.

try experiment with your equalizer as most vuvuzela should emit sound at a specific band of frquency,
looks like 233, 466, 932 and 1864 Hz.

Anyone with Windows can use the free AC3Filter audio decoder and processor. The built-in equalizer has user-customizable frequencies. So filtering out the vuvuzela's primary frequencies/harmonics should be easy. I'm at work now and can't test this. If time permits, I check it out tonight.
